Intro
I hope you are having a successful day. My week has been spent speaking with subscribers and planning our early access GTM strategy for Tunde.ai.
One member, the CEO of a mid-size recruitment firm, mentioned using AI as a thought partner. Prof G also discussed this on a recent podcast and what we have built with Tunde; that was reassuring!
After talking to a few members about interacting with AI, it’s evident that the currency driving AI adoption is “Trust.”
What kind of Trust? Mainly in terms of your data privacy and the accuracy of information. We Will be the foundation of our AI collaborations in the future, and I'm committed to upholding this trust.
First, our members need help understanding what’s possible with AI in the work context.
I want to explore how we got into this AI world in the first place...
The Past
In the 1980s, AI was historically proprietary to large companies of academic curiosity. The first business applications were expert systems that mimicked human decision-making.
"The Amazon Journey is also interesting, especially with the creation of Mechanical Turk, named after an 18th-century chess-playing automaton later revealed as a hoax.”
