In this excellent Techstrong.ai videocast, Michael Vizard interviews our Christopher White, President of NEC Labs America, about #AI and its future. They discuss generative AI, its current hype, its potential impact on content creation and the augmentation of human abilities. Chris emphasizes that generative AI systems are not “thinking machines” but tools to enhance human capabilities. Chris highlights the need for a better fundamental understanding of AI systems and the shift toward “invisible AI” that optimizes and predicts individual needs. He advises organizations not to get overwhelmed by AI hype but to identify areas where AI can enhance their operations and business processes.
