Hot Takes and Key Highlights:
A Behind-the-Scene Look at a Truly Democratic Organization
Abhishek shares the example of his current company as one with a genuinely democratic work culture and how it leads to an environment where people are no longer afraid to challenge themselves. The company is patterned on the Swiss democratic system, where everyone has a vote on key issues. A democratic culture is where the junior most person can question a c-suite decision openly without fearing retribution. Abhishek explains how this requires a shift in mindset, especially from senior management, but the benefits are higher productivity and lower churn.
“I am the chief product officer, but the junior most person on my team can tell me that my idea is horrible, and either I have to convince him or modify my idea”.
Attracting Talent in the AI Space
Abhishek says there are two elements for attracting the best talent. The first is the company culture, and the second is the company's philosophy. Achievers are people who aren’t afraid of challenges, and the company philosophy should be forward-looking. While custom development jobs pay the bills, the company should also focus on developing tomorrow's technology. Once this is in the company’s DNA, attracting clients and talent becomes easy.
“If you truly believe in participating in tomorrow's technology, you don’t need to advertise it. It should come across from how you think, behave, and interact with people”.
AI and Content Generation Tools
Bringing AI-generated content at par with human-curated content is the holy grail for content generation tools. And with all the industry majors, including Google, Microsoft, Bing, and Yahoo working on it, it sets a trendline for future things. Every successive generation in content creation tools takes us a step closer to the goal, and the underlying objective is to get AI to think like humans.
“Every generational leap in technology makes it better, faster, and more efficient. Thereby making us smarter”.
Challenges in the AI Space
The biggest challenge in AI is anticipating what’s the next big technology. Technology has evolved from building frameworks and data sets to having multiple framework templates at your disposal to directly get to the problem and the logic you need to build. The main challenges when dealing with new technology are its stability, scalability, and ability to evolve, bringing us back to the challenge of predicting tomorrow.
“As far as challenges go, the constant challenge is always what’s next”
