Facebook's Quick Guide to AI is Fascinating

Artificial intelligence (“AI”) is playing a larger role in our lives and conversations. Much has been written and discussed but few seem to cut through the noise and pretense as well as Will Knight in Facebook's Head of AI Says the Field Will Soon ‘Hit the Wall ’ . Knight’s interview with Jerome Pesenti , VP of artificial intelligence at Facebook, is a must read – particularly for those not on an unlimited budget, looking for a bit of clarity, or wondering if their company and technologies are headed in the right direction. Both Pesenti and Knight make clear that AI is not a panacea, has limitations but is the bridge to the future in terms of (1) science and discovery and (2) technology and empowerment.

At the end of the day, Presenti says AI is “ultimately systems run by computers” or is it? At DealRockit, where we've built a comprehensive customer engagement, business development platform that does the hard work for you, we have a different perspective. Our view is that AI is not a be-all end-all proposition but rather a piece in our quest to combine the best of innovative technology with human experience, allowing firms to offer free products with far reaching capabilities and benefits to clients, prospects, and business/referral partners.

Imagine for a moment a unique product that offers your firm fingertip control, solves pain points, redefines client value, requires minimal hours, accelerates growth, and delivers clear competitive differentiation/first mover advantage in a hurry.

That’s how we see AI -- thanks to Will Knight for helping us see the future possibilities.
