Where is My AI:

Key Findings From our Panel Discussion

Dear 

Our second AI event for the year, Where is my AI: Real Life Applications, was held on October 10, 2024, in Palo Alto in connection with SF Tech Week, with a distinguished panel of experts and a highly engaged audience. Below are the five key insights from this discussion: 

  1. AI is already fairly pervasive in industries, but a much broader transformation requires a new architecture. Some systems may need to be reimagined from scratch and designed from the beginning for AI capabilities. We need a new architecture.
  2. Voice is going to win!  Voice is the king and the most effective way to communicate information and get transactions done.  Future UIs must evolve—“UI should be generated and context-aware,” eliminating the need for manual design.
  3. Integrating AI into existing systems is difficult; real transformation requires “new architecture” designed from the ground up. Traditional software emphasizes reliability and predictability, but “AI is the opposite—it is creative, unpredictable, and unreliable.”

  4. Consumer AI will depend on major platforms like Apple, Google, and Amazon, though many of these companies face the “innovator’s dilemma” and are slow to incorporate useful AI applications.
  5. LLMs will gradually creep into our lives, but it will take some time. The first 80% of the problem is the easiest to solve, and the last 10-20% is a lot more than half the work. We are still a long way from getting there.
