In this episode we discuss whether AI can be differentiated from automation, how the Zapier team engages with ML accuracy and generative data, how Zapier uses generative data with its clients, and why AI is still best enjoyed by those who already have some technical knowledge.

“Sometimes, people are very bad at asking for what they want. If you do any stint in, particularly, the more hardcore sales jobs out there, it's one of the things you're going to have to learn how to do to survive. You have to be uncomfortable and learn how to ask for things.” — @Reidoutloud_ [0:05:07]
“In order to really start to drive the accuracy of [our AI models], we needed to understand, what were users trying to do with this?” — @Reidoutloud_ [0:15:34]
“The people who being enabled the most with AI in the current stage are the technical tinkerers. I think a lot of these tools are too technical for average-knowledge workers.” — @Reidoutloud_ [0:28:32]
“Quick advice for anyone listening to this, do not start a company when you have your first kid! Horrible idea.” — @Reidoutloud_ [0:29:28]
Jacob is the Vice President of the AI Platform Division at Gong – the AI platform that transforms your revenue growth – and he joins us today to share his joy of giving people the freedom of a data scientist even if they have a limited technological background.
Joelle explains how she ended up at Meta and what her role as VP of AI Research entails before telling us what fascinated her most about AI robotics, why elegance is a key factor in her work, how asking the right questions opens the right doors, and the FRESCO philosophy that forms the foundation off of which Joelle makes all her business decisions.
Out of all five human senses, our ability to smell is considered to be the most strongly linked to memory, learning, and emotion, and is arguably the most elusive. Existing AI development has largely been focused on more concrete senses like sight and hearing. But until we’ve incorporated all five senses into an artificial being, it’s unlikely we’ll ever be able to achieve human-level intelligence. That is why today’s guest, Kordel France, has chosen to take on the complex and challenging task of developing machines’ ability to smell.
After attending Meta's event celebrating 10 Years of AI progress at FAIR, Rob shares what he learned with Sama's Director of Machine Learning, Jerome Pasquero, for some much needed technical insight.
