00:00:01.930 --> 00:00:05.220
AI is complex, because the words mean
2
00:00:05.220 --> 00:00:07.083
different things to different people.
3
00:00:08.350 --> 00:00:11.560
Explaining what is possible and deciding on the big bets,
4
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:13.260
this is the power of AI.
5
00:00:13.260 --> 00:00:16.270
We are able to create a new model, an AI model,
6
00:00:16.270 --> 00:00:17.500
based on synthetic data,
7
00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:20.110
which is of similar accuracy to the one that is created
8
00:00:20.110 --> 00:00:21.000
on real data.
9
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.370
A key part of the success is the change management.
10
00:00:24.370 --> 00:00:26.970
Many of the technologies that we're introducing
11
00:00:26.970 --> 00:00:28.208
into our operations,
12
00:00:28.208 --> 00:00:30.580
it's really designed to make the life of the frontline
13
00:00:30.580 --> 00:00:32.130
a lot easier.
14
00:00:32.130 --> 00:00:35.810
When you see somebody who is not a believer in AI
15
00:00:35.810 --> 00:00:37.630
starts believing in AI,
16
00:00:37.630 --> 00:00:39.619
those are the best parts of my job.
17
00:00:39.619 --> 00:00:40.850
(upbeat music)
18
00:00:40.850 --> 00:00:43.040
Getting significant benefits from artificial intelligence
19
00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:45.030
is difficult for organizations.
20
00:00:45.030 --> 00:00:48.170
Our research finds that only 10% of organizations do.
21
00:00:48.170 --> 00:00:49.410
Why?
22
00:00:49.410 --> 00:00:50.710
In this podcast series,
23
00:00:50.710 --> 00:00:55.197
we're talking to a few leaders from that 10% to find out.
24
00:00:55.197 --> 00:00:57.400
"Me, Myself, and AI" is a podcast
25
00:00:57.400 --> 00:01:00.020
on artificial intelligence from business.
26
00:01:00.020 --> 00:01:02.950
I'm Sam Ransbotham, Professor of Information Systems
27
00:01:02.950 --> 00:01:06.280
at Boston College and from MIT's Sloan Management Review.
28
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:07.740
And I'm Shervin Khodabandeh
29
00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:10.230
from Boston Consulting Group.
30
00:01:10.230 --> 00:01:12.430
MIT, SMR, and BCG have been researching
31
00:01:12.430 --> 00:01:15.460
artificial intelligence together now for four years.
32
00:01:15.460 --> 00:01:18.350
And we've been speaking to leading practitioners of AI
33
00:01:18.350 --> 00:01:21.750
about what they're doing with AI and how they're doing it.
34
00:01:21.750 --> 00:01:23.940
We'll drop our first podcast episodes,
35
00:01:23.940 --> 00:01:27.420
talking with Walmart and Humana, on October 20th.
36
00:01:27.420 --> 00:01:29.780
In the meantime, read more about our research
37
00:01:29.780 --> 00:01:33.883
and follow along at sloanreview.mit.edu/AI.
38
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:36.570
That URL is long, Sam.
39
00:01:36.570 --> 00:01:38.670
Can we put it in the show notes?
40
00:01:38.670 --> 00:01:39.503
Good idea.
41
00:01:39.503 --> 00:01:41.480
Shervin, are we ready to do this?
42
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:42.740
Absolutely, Sam.
43
00:01:42.740 --> 00:01:44.419
Let's go for it.
44
00:01:44.419 --> 00:01:47.586
