Today, executives have to cut through a lot of hype around automation. Leaders need a clear-eyed way to think about how these technologies will specifically affect their organizations. The right question isn’t which jobs are going to be replaced, but rather, what work will be redefined, and how? Based on our work with a number of organizations grappling with these issues, we’ve found that the following four-step approach can help.

1. Start with the work, not the “job” or the technology. 

Much work will continue to exist as traditional “jobs” in organizations, but automation makes traditional jobs more fluid and an increasing amount of work will occur outside the traditional boundaries of a “job.”

We've interviewed Mason Victors, CPO and CTO at Recursion Pharmaceuticals for you and asked his opinion on the most important things for businesses and humanity in relation to AI at the moment, what will be the next big areas of AI in the next 3 years and his biggest fear in relation to AI

Montreal, February 26, 2019 – Stradigi AI, a leading artificial intelligence solutions provider, based in Montreal, has signed on as the founding partner of the World Summit AI which will be held at the St-James Theatre in Montreal on April 10 and 11 this year.

World Summit AI is an exclusive gathering of the major industry actors attended by more than 1,000 delegates and 60 geniuses who are disrupting the AI sector. The conference will offer two days of innovation and lively discussions on ethics in AI as well as solutions for businesses. It will also include hands-on and networking workshops and, above all, entertainment.

When leaders describe how advances in automation will affect job prospects for humans, predictions typically fall into one of two camps. Optimists say that machines will free human workers to do higher-value, more creative work. Pessimists predict massive unemployment, or, if they have a flair for the dramatic, a doomsday scenario in which humans’ only job is to serve our robot overlords.

What almost everyone gets wrong is focusing exclusively on the idea of automation “replacing” humans. Simply asking which humans will be replaced fails to account for how work and automation will evolve. Our new book, Reinventing Jobs: A 4-Step Approach for Applying Automation to Work, argues that while automation can sometimes substitute for human work, it also more importantly has the potential to create new, more valuable, and more fulfilling roles for humans.

Sensible conversations supported by artificial intelligence increased the efficiency rate of credit card cross-sell efforts by 82% at a Mexican bank.

Frank. Good morning! This is Frank from W Bank. May I speak with Ms. K?

We’re pleased to announce that Gary Marcus will present a sneak preview of his new book  REBOOT: Getting to AI We Can Trust, co-authored with NYU computer scientist Ernie Davis (to be published by Pantheon in Fall 2019) at World Summit AI Americas taking place April 10-11 in Montreal, Canada. 

The book is a powerful critique of the current state of AI that calls for a rethink of the entire paradigm of AI and machine learning.
