1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: You're listening to Bloomberg Business Week with Carol Messer and

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: Tim Stenovic on Bloomberg Radio. We did say, we did

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: promise we're going to that we were going to go

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: all in on AI. Today we're living up to that.

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: Earlier respect to Ian King about how Nvidia is Wall

6
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: Street's top pic for chat gbt mania. After all, Microsoft

7
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: is investing ten billion in Open Ai, the company behind

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: the AI tool chat GBT And I do feel like,

9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, whether you look at major news, you know,

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: the networks, the general network networks kind of just the

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: general public. Everybody's like, wait a minute, oh AI is

12
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,959
Speaker 1: going on. I didn't realize it was that smart. Yeah,

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: they should have checked in with our next guest, because

14
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: then they probably would have known. Ray. Please step with us.

15
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: Tom Davenport, Professor of Information Technology and Management at Babson College.

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: He's the co author of the new book All In

17
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: on AI, How Smart Companies Win Big with Artificial Intelligence.

18
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: He joins us via zoom from beautiful Santa Barbara, California.

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: Right now, our professor, good to have you with us.

20
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: How are you, thanks, I'm great, happy to be here. Well,

21
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: we're looking forward to going on this deep dive with

22
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: you when it comes to a I I want to

23
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: start with what Carol was referring to, this idea that

24
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: you know, chat gbt GPT has been all over U

25
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: when it comes to sort of like the conversation right

26
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: the you know what we're seeing out in the environment

27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: right now with with with not just you know, the

28
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: tech side of things and what happened on Twitter a

29
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: couple of months ago when it was released, but this

30
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: idea that hey, this incredible technology is actually out there

31
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: and it's a lot closer to prime time than a

32
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 1: lot of people thought. What have your thoughts been around

33
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: all this chat GPT? I've never heard of that could

34
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 1: tell tell any more about it. Really little joke there. Okay,

35
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: you have to be ripped, Ben Winkled, you know what

36
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: I have to say? Though, up until a week or

37
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: so ago, it wasn't necessarily mainstream. I think that's true.

38
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: I wrote an article for Harvard Business Review, I think

39
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: in November on generative technology than what to do about them,

40
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: and CHET GPT came out a couple of weeks later,

41
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: and the whole category just exploded. Um So I kind

42
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: of wish I'd waited a little while, but Yeah, I

43
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: think that it's a very powerful tool, and I think

44
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: it's going to have a lot of impact on a

45
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: lot of sectors of business and society. Um, I think

46
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to train everybody how to use it,

47
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: or it will be incredibly unfair to those who do

48
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: and those who what do you mean, what do you

49
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: mean by that? Well, it's a huge productivity aid. It'll

50
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: get only better. And so you imagine two kids in

51
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: school and one uses it for preparing essays and the

52
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: other doesn't have access to it. It's just really unfair.

53
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: And you know, I think any business should be exploring

54
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: it aggressively. Now they're just so many different interesting I

55
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: want to make sure I understand this right. It seems

56
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: like you're saying the person who's who's using it to

57
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: help prepare an essay? To me, you know what, I

58
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: think to lot of teachers or school distructor school administrators

59
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: would say that's cheating. Well, where I think we're gonna

60
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: have to revise that traditional expectation. Um, it's a It

61
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: will be virtually impossible to tell. I guess um. The

62
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: only way you could tell is if you know Johnny

63
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: used to write bad essays and now he writes good essays. Um.

64
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: But um, particularly if someone edits the output of chat,

65
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: GPT or whatever generative a tool they're using. Um, you know,

66
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: I think it'll be impossible to tell and really, um,

67
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: not that ultimately different from you know, going to the

68
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: library and reading books. This is the new equivalent of that.

69
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: But does it get Hey, Tom, do we have to

70
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: think about it? It's interesting. I grew up and I

71
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: had to learn penmanship. I remember practicing writing cursive. You know,

72
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: Um that not necessarily was the case for my daughter

73
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: because everything was being done on computers and is being

74
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: done on computers. And I do wonder is there going

75
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: to be kind of well anybody because of something like

76
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: a chat, g g BT or or other large language

77
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: models l m s. You know that it's not going

78
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: to be so important to be able to write an

79
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: essay because a company can have you know, the chat

80
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: gypt do it. So I just wonder, like, how does

81
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: this change transform our world for the better for the worst. Well,

82
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: you know, there are all sorts of possibilities for mischief

83
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: with it. Um. Right now, it's more the image oriented

84
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: tools that are problematic. Although I have heard that hackers

85
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: are already using um GPT three, the sort of a

86
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: parent of chat gpt to create malware UM code, since

87
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: they can write code. But you know, I think in

88
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: general we're all going to become editors rather than creators

89
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: of first draft and um will be UM, we'll have

90
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: to be prompt engineers and you have to write a

91
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: prompt to get these systems to produce something. We'll have

92
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: to be prompt engineers instead of first draft writers. And

93
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: then we will have to edit it to make sure

94
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: that um A, the information is actually correct. Often it

95
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: is not now and um that it's not. You know,

96
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: it can be a little boring at times. You might

97
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: need to liven it up, but in almost every case

98
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: my experience, uh, it comes up with things I hadn't

99
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: thought of, and um, you know, I'm fairly well educated,

100
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: so I think most people would benefit from it. Does

101
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,559
Speaker 1: this scare you at all? Uh? You know, I try

102
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: to look on the positive side. I think there could

103
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: be some really problematic aspects. But this is UM with us. Now.

104
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: We's not going to go away. We might as well

105
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: get used to it and the cats out of the bag,

106
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, it's better than having chips implanted in

107
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: our brain, which you know may happen at sometimes. I

108
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: was going to say that's actually you know, if Elon

109
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: Musk has his way, that's that's coming pretty soon thanks

110
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: to you know, what he's working on. Well. It's interesting though,

111
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: you know, there's been a lot of stories about things

112
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: like AI, and I think in terms of the medical community,

113
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: where it can help screen in an emergency room, right

114
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: and help a doctor, um, kind of prioritize or deal

115
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: with more patients in a smart way. In the investment world,

116
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, startup companies that were maybe deemed too small

117
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: and not worthy of spending some time to you know,

118
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: research whether or not that they were even maybe a

119
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: possible good idea that with the use of AI, that

120
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: can be used as a screening force to allow an

121
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: investor to kind of look at more companies. Like I

122
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: think we have to be smart, right with all of

123
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: this stuff. That technology has its pluses and its minuses,

124
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: but there are things that can maybe benefit the world

125
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: more broadly. Oh yeah, a huge potential applications and healthcare,

126
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: although the adoption in clinical practice has been quite slow.

127
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: You know, Um, once a week you get an announcement

128
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: of research that since an AI system is as good

129
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: as are better than a radiologist or I don't know,

130
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: internal medicine specialists at detecting some UM ailment. So um, yeah,

131
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: lots of of potential value. And you know, I think

132
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: it's going to change a lot of jobs. I don't

133
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: think yet it has reduced UM employment much outside of

134
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: you know, maybe robots and manufacturing UM. But you know,

135
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: the people who are going to lose their jobs will

136
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: be the ones who refused to work with AI. Well, Sam,

137
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: you and I were talking about in terms of the

138
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: healthcare community, right, Like you think about all the research

139
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: that gets constantly you know, done and results and you

140
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: know papers and stuff like how can a doctor who's

141
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: taking care of patients possibly read it all? So you

142
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: think about if AI can be used as a tool

143
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: to help screen through some of this, I mean think

144
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: about the benefits of it. Yeah, I mean I think

145
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: that's really important case. But I also think, you know,

146
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: one of the problems is is you know what Professor

147
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 1: Davenport talked about, and it's the idea that okay, well

148
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: you can use chat GPT too. Also you know, create

149
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: malware or or write malicious code. There's you know, there's

150
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: sort of two sides to every coin, professor, So do

151
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: you think there needs to be any sort of regulation

152
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: in this type of technology? I think that for the momentum,

153
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: individual organizations will have to decide, you know, what's our

154
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: policy on the schools. As we were discussing earlier. UM,

155
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: I don't see the US government regulating effectively anytime soon.

156
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: You know, possibly we can see something in Europe, although

157
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be really difficult to regulate, um,

158
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: even for you know, highly regulatory societies. And I think

159
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: we've already seen apparently some student who used to work

160
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: for open ai has come up with a system that

161
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: the text whether or not a passage was written by

162
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: chat GPT. So um, you know, maybe we'll have a

163
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: sort of ongoing arms race in that regard. Hey, we're

164
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: going to come back with Tom Davenport, professor of Information

165
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: Technology Management at babs In College. His book. He's co

166
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: author on the book entitled All In on AI, How

167
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: Smart Companies Win Big with Artificial Intelligence. And in the book,

168
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: you know, gets into some cases, whether it's a Disney,

169
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: a Walmart, a Capital one of Fiser and Eli Lily,

170
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: how they've been using AI. So we'll talk about that.

171
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: On the other side, Carol Master along with Tim Stanivic

172
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: live in our Bloomberg Interactive Broker studio. Tim just reminding me,

173
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: I've been saying chat GPT, Where the hell did it

174
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: come from? GPT? Potato potato, Carolo tomato coming out of

175
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: my brain. Maybe if you had more experience with AI,

176
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have made that mistake. Maybe if a I

177
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: was running me, I wouldn't. That's definitely true. All right,

178
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: let's get back to our guest. Tom Davenport, Professor in

179
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: Ormation Technology Management at Babson College, co author of the

180
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: book All In on AI, How Smart Companies Win Big

181
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: with Artificial Intelligence, Still with us via zoom from Santa Barbara, California.

182
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: You know, tell one thing I do want to go

183
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: back to, and it's funny. Um. In the break, I

184
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: went and actually was doing some additional googling and searching.

185
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: Came across the story by Ardina Bass and a colleague

186
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: on kind of what is artificial intelligence? Not so long

187
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: ago when we think about artificial intelligence and sounds so

188
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: sci fi if you will, but it's really not, is it. No,

189
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: It's in you know a lot of devices that we

190
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: use every day. Um. You know, it's I don't think

191
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: there's anything terribly mysterious about it. It's just using technology

192
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: to do things that were ordinarily just done by the

193
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: human brain. And I suppose arguably we've been doing that

194
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: since you know, calculators did long division for us. Who's

195
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: doing this really well, you know, with a lot of

196
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: the attention is kind of Microsoft because of its huge

197
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: and vest smith in open ai and chat GPT. But

198
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: what companies are deploying this technology really well? Well, we

199
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: focused in the book on not on the digital native

200
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: companies because you know, it's relatively easy for them. They've

201
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: been doing it for a while. They didn't have a

202
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: kind of a technical debt, uh, a base of previous

203
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: technologies that they had to deal with. They didn't have

204
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: to UM persuade people that it was important. So UM

205
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: in we found a variety of companies in different industries

206
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: in UM consumer products and retail. There's Unilever um uh uh.

207
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: Kroger quite good at this is this Are they using

208
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: this to help identify what demand is going to be

209
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: in a certain area of the country based on and

210
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: every area, Yeah, and every area of the country. Basically,

211
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: Kroger does a prediction of every skew, every stock keeping

212
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: unit in every store every night to make sure they

213
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: don't have stockouts, and you know that they get the

214
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: product to the store. So that's just too much data

215
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: to ever do well with a human brain. So you

216
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: have to use machine learning to to make those kinds

217
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: of predictions, and they're quite successful at that. They do

218
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: UM over a billion loyalty offers a year based on

219
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: you know, what they think you might want to want

220
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: to buy, if you remember their loyalty program, based on

221
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: what you bought in the past, So they're really good

222
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: at it. Of course, some banks Capital One historically that

223
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: wast analytical bank, and and I think probably the best

224
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: certainly for its size, at Ai Shell air Bus, UM,

225
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: Elevant's Health which used to be Anthem is a health

226
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: insurance company that's really focused on this UM and then

227
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: UM in Canada. Lob Laws are just retailer in Canada.

228
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: UM a couple of banks we found Coacher Bank is

229
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:11,599
Speaker 1: quite good, UM, DBS Bank in Singapore really fantastic. And yeah,

230
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: I mean less than one per cent of companies, i'd say,

231
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: but good number. But a lot of the big ones

232
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: we've heard of well and what's interesting is you shared

233
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: with our producer Paul. You know. Um, over the last

234
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: five years, companies integrating AI extensively throughout their organizations have

235
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: experienced stock prices averaging four times the performance of the

236
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: S and P five hundred. Yet this AI field group

237
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: accounts for less than one percent of large companies, so

238
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: little perspective. Where's this research? Who did this research in

239
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: terms of the share prices? That was done by Deloitte? Um,

240
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: my co author is the head of AI for Deloitte.

241
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: So why do you think that's happening? Well, you know,

242
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: AI pays off. It means that you have better pricing

243
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: of your products, better offers. Increasingly, AI is and bed

244
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: it into products and services. Um. We talk about Morgan

245
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: Stanley using it for quote next best Action for their

246
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: financial advisors to their to their clients. Um Uh. Some

247
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: companies I think probably couldn't even do what they do

248
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: at all. We talk about a small to medium sized

249
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: company called c c C Intelligent Solutions that can give

250
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: you through companies like USA, can give you an estimate

251
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: of what you're crashed car will cost a fix in

252
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: less than a minute based on image recognition and AI

253
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: and a vast amount of data. I also feel like,

254
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: you know, when we talk about anything data related, Tom

255
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: is that the data is only as good as the input, right.

256
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: And we've talked a lot about biased nous or bias

257
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: excuse me, in terms of in data. And we talked

258
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: about this a lot coming off of the death of

259
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: George Floyd and lack of diversity within our world. I mean,

260
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: it's been a continued story for many, many years. But

261
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: now the data is involved. You know, you do worry

262
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: about how things are skewed. How do we ensure that

263
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: AI is pure? Well, the best companies now, you know, UM,

264
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: you have to move beyond the kind of proclamations that

265
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: we we're going to be you know, responsible with our

266
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: AI and a few policy statements we talked in the book,

267
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: for example, about Unilever, which reviews every AI application before

268
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: it's developed to make sure that it's transparent and fair

269
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: not biased. UM. They have a they have a policy

270
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: that you can't really make any final decision for UM

271
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: a customer, employee, or partner without a human being involved,

272
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: and they make sure that that happens before they build

273
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: the application. M does that work, UM? It has? It

274
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: turns out you know, UM. We keep hearing the same

275
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: bad stories of highly biased UM programs like the Amazon

276
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: one that had a preference for male engineers, where with

277
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: them over and over again, UNI Leaver has only had

278
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: two out of over I think two hundred that really

279
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: violated their policies and they had to go back and

280
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: redo them. All right, we're gonna leave it on that. Hey, listen, Tom,

281
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: thanks for sticking around. We were looking to do a

282
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: deep dive into it since it feels like everybody's talking

283
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: about chat GPT now that I remember how to say

284
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: it UM, but it does feel like all of a

285
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: sudden AI it's getting a lot of attention, and it

286
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: helps to really kind of understand exactly what's going on.

287
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: Tom Davenport, Professor of Information Technology and Management at Babson College,

288
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: his new book All In on AI. He's co author

289
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: All In on AI, How Smart Companies Been Big with

290
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: Artificial Intelligence? Joining us via zoom from Santa Barbara, California.

291
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: What are you thinking? I'm thinking this is going to

292
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: be a serious challenge for parents, for teachers. I still

293
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: think about the academics of it.
