Thoughts on Artificial intelligence, business, the world, life.
Creating the right human conditions to make the most out of machine intelligence
I believe that people are the secret sauce to succeed in AI. It may sound paradoxical, but human creativity and cooperation are the foundation for machine intelligence. It also works the other way around, though: humans can be the bottleneck to successful AI projects. I recently worked on a project that involved multiple units of my client’s company. We identified a clear need, gathered the data, and prototyped a complex system....
"In the age of information, ignorance is a choice." Or is it?
