Jason Mars shares Artificial Intelligence Monsters and Myths

April 05, 2021

"the one about The Art of the Possible"

Prof. Jason Mars PhD is one of the world leaders in the realm of "conversational artificial intelligence" (THE world leader by my personal assessment!). He is on a mission to have a meaningful impact on the lives of every human and if you take a look at what he and his team at Clinc.com have achieved so far, he is certainly on track to do exactly that!
If you have even the slightest interest in artificial intelligence, you will be well aware that there are MANY Monsters and Myths associated with it - how many times have you heard "the robots are going to replace us" and other such scary stories? Jason is determined to demonstrate the enormous potential that artificial intelligence has to transform our lives and our work - starting with revolutionising the way that we interact with technology by using the most natural communication interface available to us as humans - VOICE.
In this episode, Jason shares the most common barriers to artificial intelligence adoption that he most frequently encounters:-

* the Monster of Training an AI - the thought of which prevents people from even starting out in the first place
* the Monster of Scale - where things can work well in a lab but often not in the real world
* the Myth that "an AI company is a Tech company" - spoiler alert, tech is less important than ....... (you'll have to watch / listen to find the answer)

Jason has recently shared his artificial intelligence journey to date in his book "Breaking Bots" which is available right NOW and is well worth a read to find out more about his background (which might surprise you) and his philosophy that is driving the future for us all.
