The Different Altitudes of AI in Business Nov 06, 2023

Show notes

Most people are familiar by now with how AI can be used to accelerate work as diverse as software development and performing medical research. Much of this work takes place at the individual contributor level, or operational aspects of a business.

What is lesser known, and what we believe we are on the cusp of understanding, is how AI can aid leaders in managing their companies at higher altitudes of business — such as operations, strategy, and ideology. This episode attempts to help understand that.

Then, Pete Buer speaks with Domenic Colasante, CEO of 2X, about how his B2B Marketing as a Service company has already started to take advantage of AI to accelerate their capabilities and services.
