Episode 85: Evolution of Work

Peter and Dan discuss Software as a Service (SaaS) and AIaaS, both vital tools for businesses seeking to scale with a leaner organization. Particularly as workforces become distributed and companies race to digitize, cloud computing is now more important than ever before.

In this episode:

  • Dan talks about the historic opportunity to use our current global pause and newfound free time to brainstorm with customers and collaborate on new capabilities.
  • Peter examines the potential of exponential technologies to help track viruses in the future. Offering a number of possible scenarios, he considers the example of genome sequencing tools built into air ports, as well as other mechanisms for the detection and tracking of novel viruses. 
  • Dan and Peter discuss how COVID-19 will transform life as we know it, and why humanity is yet to face other existential threats.

Episode 83: The Rise of AI as a Service

by

Peter and Dan discuss the power of Artificial Intelligence as a Service (AIaaS) and its utility to thousands of companies in both traditional and non-traditional sectors. By adding an AI layer to your organization, AIaaS tools can help any company achieve scale with minimal increases in headcount, fueling data-driven business decisions, personalized marketing efforts, team efficiency, and countless other benefits.

In this episode:

  • Dan elaborates on a quote by Gino Wickman — “Systemize the predictable so you can humanize the exceptional” — and uses it as a framework for understanding AI-human collaboration. 
  • Illustrating several examples (e.g. AIs that help doctors diagnose patients in real time), Peter discusses how he is using “AI as his ‘WHO’” to run experiments across his organizations. 
  • Dan delves into the importance of teamwork between humans and technology, a partnership he claims will be key for competitive businesses in decades to come.
