Thanks for the post Sutton – this is a very interesting space! Gong IO’s work reminds me of the recent controversy over Zoom mulling whether or not to implement Intel’s AI to detect bored students (https://www.protocol.com/enterprise/emotion-ai-school-intel-edutech) and also harkens a little to Affectiva’s work.
I think a lot of the criticisms of AI/facial recognition apply here as well. We keep on thinking that adding more data to the equation will help, but it remains to be seen!
I was debating whether or not to write my post on OpenAI – glad you took it on! I’m especially interested in seeing how OpenAI can leverage their close relationship with Microsoft to possibly conduct A/B testing on applications of their AI models and identify the high yield markets they can target.
I’ve had quite a few people recommend TooGoodtoGo to me, so it’s interesting to see it talked about here! I wonder how useful customers find the reviews given they’re quite generic and products can change all the time.
Nice touch at the end there Daniel! I wonder if Substack could take a page out of Pocket’s handbook and surface article recommendations or partner with Pocket to show other recommended Substack blogs. I wonder if they might take a page out of the Threadless playbook to bundle services and offer “Substack Plus” premium service for newsletter writers who want to sell merchandise or premium sticker packs, meet and greets, or other products to readers.
Thanks for the informative post Heili! Following Sutton’s question, I wonder how Glassdor can pivot with this information to create value for both companies and employees using this large database they now have?
Building on Alex’s question, I also wonder how Pandora might leverage these online shopping experiences to reach more rural and remote markets where they do not already have a physical presence such as combining augmented reality technology with their “virtual try-on simulation” or to help with sizing items.
Thank you for the insightful post Daniel – didn’t realize they offered a recognized English test! I’m interested to know whether or not the AI approach actually improves language acquisition compared to other programs.
Thanks for sharing this with us Heili. I am curious to see whether the insights collected through such technology-heavy methods will be meaningfully different from those collected by traditional methods. Similarly, I’m interested to know how machine learning may generate new insights in how people use spaces and excited to see how conventional office spaces may be reconfigured to build communities!
