I have a fascination with AI, and how it can improve productivity, personally & in the business world.
AI, or artificial intelligence simulates human intelligence processes, and as its runs through processes can learn and reason.
Overtime, AI is getting more advanced, smarter and very soon will be in everything we consume.
AI is often in the background, and for example even the latest cars / mobile apps etc… have some form of AI built in. There is even an AI powered high performance race car that can tackle a race circuit, learning every lap and getting faster and faster. Anyway, I will talk more about AI and the Robocar another day.
A big part of people’s day in business is meetings, and with all meetings comes the back and forth of scheduling and finding a slot that works for both parties. This process can be time consuming and frustrating. This is what the founder of X.ai experienced…
Solving a problem
“I came up with the idea for x.ai after I went through the enormous pain of manually scheduling 1019 meetings in 2012, of which ~670 had updates or were rescheduled at least once. Anybody who goes through that amount of pain will try to find a way to remove it.”
Dennis R. Mortensen, CEO
