And that's automated but it's conventional software. It's not AI. And most of the examples of where computers are replacing people, it's conventional software. It's not AI software.(14:49)- How you get data quality into your AI models and it's what they do that's really interesting. And I hadn't actually focused on it until I talked to this company. There's a big industry to clean data for tools like business intelligence that have been around for a long time. And there are, there are companies that are multi-billion dollar companies that provide data, cleaning tools, data extraction, and so forth.(17:13)- Everybody thought that with AI, you could diagnose illnesses from medical images better than the radiologists. And it's never actually worked out that way. I have friends who are radiologists, who use those AI tools and they say yes, sometimes they find things that I might've missed. But at the same time, they miss things that we would have found.(22:17)- I think we're seeing a lot of the rollout of a specific type of AI supervised learning, which is a type of machine learning. We're seeing it applied in many different areas. I actually have a database I keep before every time I see a new ...

It sounds weird to anybody who works in tech. But, a lot of companies, in these industries, are still struggling with the cloud. So, when you go to these companies and start talking about this technology, they are excited. They're like, this sounds amazing, but you have to keep into account the reality of where they are, they're not in a place where they can invest in hiring a full-blown data science team, because then nobody knows how to interact with them.(09:29)- So, having the right governance for how to use the data, how to keep it in the right shape, and making sure that the quality is what we need, and then actually bring into the laptops of the data scientists that they can make tests and run experiments and make graphs. So, I always like to say it doesn't really matter how good your technology is. How good is your data warehouse or whatever kind of stock you use if using that data is not easy. If using that data it's not straightforward for a data scientist.(17:32)- And in the same way, if we want to use AI for marketing, you need to give tools to the marketers that understand the problem to use AI on their data for their problems. When I talk about sales, well, I understand sales data set and takes me a lot of time to understand the logics of sales, have a sales team of the data that its Sales team works with to a sales team who really understands this data, the right tools to, they don't have to be able to do everything but the list to get started, well, then they know much better than me the data.(18:17)-So, it's kind of a paradox, because the most important thing of the app is the recommender system. But the reason why that works is not because of the tech, but because of how the UX feeds the tech. And if you think about this,...

So I was always very interested in labor data, and understanding occupational dynamics, social mobility, things like that. My first job was a data scientist, this was very early on at a hedge fund in New York. It was an emerging market hedge fund. I started that in 2012. That was kind of interesting. I was like the lone data scientist on the desk. So that was kind of interesting. And then went to work at IBM, in their internal data science team was called the Chief Analytics Office.(08:13)- The workers that were really hardest hit from remote work are really junior employees. They're just getting started and they need that mentorship. And it's much harder to feel like you're developing and learning from others in a remote environment. But as we're sort of going back, the more senior positions, will probably not have that same benefit as junior employees.(15:53)- One phenomenon that we see quite a lot is that companies have a huge contingent workforce that is not reported on their financial statements. So, for example, I mentioned I used to run this workforce analytics team at IBM. And at IBM, we had 330,000 employees, that was like the number that's in their HR database, but you go to their LinkedIn page, and it looks like 550,000 people say that they work at IBM. So, what's going on here? Why are there so many more people that claim to work at a company, then the company claims to work there? And that, of course, is just a sample; only a sample of people actually have online profiles.(29:33)- But when it comes to human capital data, and employment data, that really does not exist, it's not even really close to that. There's so much data that's siloed in internal HR databases, which like I mentioned before, really...

It's kind of like for me it's just by analogy, I mean, kind of a scientist, if you're looking at some achievement, like technical achievement as being a top of a mountain and a scientist is trying to like hike, they're trying to be the first person to the summit.(06:28)- When you build an application, you kind of have to build a road, you have to be able to drive them with a car. And when you're building a platform on AWS or at Pinecone, you have to like build a city there. You have to really like, completely like to cover it. For me, the experience of building platforms and AWS was transformational because the way we think about problems is completely different. It's not about proving that something is possible, it is building the mechanisms that make it possible always for, in any circumstance.(13:43)- And so on and today with machine learning, you don't really have to do any of that. You have pre-trained NLP models that convert a string, like a, take a sentence in English to an embedding, to a high dimensional vector, such that the similarity or either the distance or the angle between them is analogous to the similarity between them in terms of like conceptual smelts semantic similarity.(18:17)- Almost always Pinecone ends up being a lot easier, a lot faster and a lot more production ready than what they would build in house.

I grew up on the Northern coast of Iceland, in a little fishing village. We're about 450 people in technology there, which is a little bit different than how we think of it today. But, in a roundabout way, we ended up in New York, 20 years in the US and 10 in New York and absolutely love it here. And the reason is primarily that there's so much creative energy around, exactly your topic.(03:34) –So what we were doing at Feedback Loop, the core of it is really you take a business question: Is this going to work, for example. Which is not a well-formed research question. So we have to translate it into the intent of the question. What you're intending to do is assess functionality or competitors features or price point or messaging or whatever it is.(07:13) –Because, even though you can only juggle in your mind, let's just say 150, and the number is a bit fuzzy, but let's say that it is 150. You interact with thousands of people throughout your career, and you go to a conference and you meet a bunch of great, interesting people that you want to stay in touch with. You have coworkers that you may have worked with five years ago, 10 years ago, doing either something really fascinating and you want to stay in touch, or they're just friends and you liked interacting with them and you want to stay in touch.(10:10) – Most people, when they first think about it, they're like: I want more out of my network. But when we interview, especially the more senior, and we interview people, what we learn is the same thing over and over. It's not that they want to get something out of their network.

Clearest bottleneck was not “How do we get the robot to move properly” but “How do we get the robot to understand the 3D space it operates in?”(04:05) – The Deep Learning revolution around that era was very focused on 2D images. But it wasn’t always easy to translate those successes into real world systems: the world is not made up of pixels; it’s made up of physical objects in space.(06:57) – When the Microsoft Kinect came out; I became excited about the democratization of 3D, and the possibility that better data was available to the masses. Intuitive data can help us more confidently build solutions. Easier to validate when something fails, easier to give more consistent results.(09:20) – Academia is a vital engine for moving technology forward. In hindsight, for instance, those early days of Deep Learning -- one or two layers, evaluating on simple datasets -- were crucial to ultimately advancing the state of the art we see today.(14:48) – Now that Machine Learning is becoming increasingly commodified, we are starting to see a growing demand for people who can bridge that gap on both sides: conferences requiring code submissions alongside a paper, companies encouraging their engineers to take online ML courses, etc.(17:41) – As we do finally start to see real-time computer vision productized for mobile phones, it does beg the question: won’t this exacerbate the digital divide? Flagship devices, always-on network connectivity: whether computing on the edge or in the cloud, there is going to be a disparity.(20:33) – Because of this, I think the ideal model is to treat AI as one tool among many in a hybrid system. Think smart autocomplete, as opposed to automatic novel writing. AI as an assistant to a human expert: freeing them from the minutia so they can focus on high-level questions; aggregating noise so they can be more consistent and efficient.(23:08) – Computer Vision has gone through a number of hype cycles in the last decade –real-time recognition, real-time reconstruction, ...

We need to understand how an incident occurred, or we need to understand how a system performs a function in order to. I analyze how it might be biased or where there might be some malfunction or what might occur in a certain situation or a certain scenario, or indeed who might be responsible for something having gone through it is really the most basic element of protecting ourselves, protecting our privacy, our autonomy from these kinds of advanced algorithmic systems, there are many different elements that might influence these kinds of systems.(26:35)- We're really coming to a Sputnik moment and AI.

Instead of having a single user of the technology, we have hundreds of users of the technology and how can we deliver a unique experience and an excellent experience for each of those users and this necessitates questions around adopting machine learning and natural language processing models to new domains.(10:49)- And this is exactly the technology we're building out. How can we sort of regularize that? How can we look at the conversation and the issue that the customer's happening? That's sort of embodied in the dialogue, up to a point in time and then allow AI to make recommendations to the agent; Here is a workflow that we think you should use and all the steps you need to follow in order to solve this issue(28:33)- So we design everything and that's why it's critical to design these things from the bottom up with AI in mind. All of our artificial intelligence has been designed to serve those latency needs. So to kind of give you a couple of examples, the first is automatic speech recognition. So a huge number of calls that come into call centers are still voice, they're not digital. It's not people call contacting over chat. It's people calling in on their phone.(30:41)- So we've focused on building out something called SRU, which is an architecture where we can take super high, accurate AI models and then distill them into these faster architectures, which allows us to get into these millisecond range. So we can get responses back to agents and milliseconds, and that really is going to affect how much they use those suggestions at the end of the day.(32:38)- Beyond what's happening in the conversation and see every...
