WEBVTT 00:00:04.840 --> 00:00:07.600 - Generative AI has really put AI on the 00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:09.000 radar of every company. 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:10.720 But in reality, generative AI 00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:12.880 and predictive AI work fairly differently. 00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:19.080 If I take generative AI, it is trained to be very creative. 00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:21.440 If you give it the same order twice, it will come up 00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:23.280 with two different answers. 00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:25.960 Very much akin to the human creative process. 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.040 We like to compare it to the right human brain. 00:00:29.040 --> 00:00:31.080 Now, predictive AI is completely different. 00:00:31.080 --> 00:00:34.320 It's trained on hard data. It's powered by statistics. 00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:36.160 It will always give you the same answer 00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:38.880 and you can test for accuracy of the outcome. 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.360 Now, we like to compare that to the left brain. 00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:44.480 Now, as a company, you need both. Imagine supply chain 00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:45.840 optimization, for example. 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.240 You definitely want accuracy for that. 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:49.560 If you think marketing content 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:51.120 creation, you want creativity. 00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:53.320 So the question is what technology to apply when. 00:00:55.800 --> 00:00:57.880 Predictive AI and generative AI are two 00:00:57.880 --> 00:00:59.480 very different technologies. 00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:02.760 But in reality, if you are a CEO embarking on the journey, 00:01:02.760 --> 00:01:06.040 the same principles and advices apply for both. 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.000 One: focus. These technologies are expensive. 00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:12.040 The learning curve is going to be steep for your organization. 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.640 You want to make sure that you are focusing on your top 00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.880 business and functional priorities, ensuring 00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:19.680 that AI is embedded in that transformation. 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:21.640 Two: people, people, people. 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.400 People always underestimate the importance of upskilling 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.880 and transformation in an AI journey. 00:01:27.880 --> 00:01:30.600 I would recommend that you think blue sky in terms 00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:34.680 of skills, operating model, and of course, focus on talent. 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.400 And three, think thoughtfully about technology. 00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.120 Companies are also not purposeful enough in the way they 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:41.560 approach technology. 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:43.040 You need to take a very forward 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:46.080 and proactive lens in the way you drive your architecture 00:01:46.080 --> 00:01:47.680 and in the way you approach your ecosystem.
