Your product is your "first product", but your "second product" is building a company around the initial product such that you can scale your original product and bring it to more people. ----------- Ali Rowghani (Business Entrepreneurs)
AI is not the ultimate. It’s important to match the right technology to the business problem. Starting with the problem—not the technology—is essential to a business-first approach.
The first brush with AI in many businesses is often limited to tier-one functionalities such as AI assistants that automate repetitive tasks: ghostwriting emails, scheduling projects, and fielding customer queries. AI, however, is capable of far more: complex problem-solving, hyper-personalization, and even the generation of new multimedia content.
We may get to the point where AI systems can get broader and more creative than humans. Let’s assume we get the rules right — [to build] safe, honest, harmless AI — I believe that everyone can have an AI assistant they really trust to help them make better life decisions.
Reportedly, a secret AI can do grade-school math's on problems it hasn’t seen before. This has previously been a challenge for LLMs like GPT-4. While ‘grade-school math's’ doesn’t seem like much, with exponential progress of the type we’ve witnessed, grade-school math's could quickly become PhD math's.
Merging human intuition and reasoning with AI’s computational prowess creates a powerful alliance.
Imagine a hospital where AI aids surgeons by suggesting optimal procedures in real time based on patient data. Or consider a marketing team paired with AI tools that optimize campaign strategies while the human team focuses on the creative narrative.
In each scenario, AI doesn’t replace human skills; it amplifies them, fostering an enriched, symbiotic workflow. It’s not just about improving current processes. AI’s capabilities enable new methods, products, and business models.
By weaving AI into the very fabric of your business strategies, you should aim for deeper industry-transforming applications.
