“Companies that are struggling to find the right place to deploy new AI tech should consider use cases involving ‘voice of the customer’ applications — parsing, interpreting, and responding to customer input from all different channels. They are typically easier to implement than employee productivity use cases because they don’t require as much behavior change, and easier to measure improvements in economic value because improving customer satisfaction often has a financial payoff. Generative AI is well suited to tasks such as transcription, summarization, sentiment analysis, and other key parts of listening and responding to customers.” - https://hbr.org/2024/04/genai-can-help-companies-do-more-with-customer-feedback?ab=HP-latest-text-1

"What the A.I. developers say is that the power of A.I. systems is on this kind of curve, that it has been increasing exponentially, their capabilities, and that as long as we keep feeding in more data and more computing power, it will continue increasing exponentially."?
EZRA KLEIN: That is the scaling law hypothesis, and one of its main advocates is Dario Amodei. Amodei led the team at OpenAI that created GPT-2, that created GPT-3. He then left OpenAI to co-found Anthropic, another A.I. firm, where he's now the C.E.O….
He thinks the kinds of systems we've imagined in sci-fi, they're coming not in 20 or 40 years, not in 10 or 15 years, they're coming in two to five years.?
