In a rapidly evolving world, we need to balance the fear surrounding AI and its role in the workplace with its potential to drive productivity growth. In this special live episode of Smart Talks with IBM, Malcolm Gladwell is joined onstage during NY Tech Week by Rob Thomas, Senior Vice President of Software and Chief Commercial Officer at IBM. They discuss “the productivity paradox”, the importance of open source AI, and a future where AI will touch every industry.

Rob Thomas’ transition from early 2000s lead singer of Matchbox 20 to technology thought leader is nothing short of inspiring.

no wonder ibm is irrelevant in most new technologies. That story about vizio is exactly why ibm is not respected outside the x370 universe.

The question is why does gdp growth need to occur? The problem is the assumption that perpetual growth is inherently a good thing. This is a hegemonic perspective.

YES, we always give more meaning and value to our time, humans tell themselves a whole lot of stories

Honestly can’t listen to Malcom after his debate with Matt Taibi and Douglas Murray. Total pretender.
-
Very good conversation, very insightful and interesting

And now imagine you are a client that paid extra for this "Vision Consultant". The whole consulting is a scam...
-
i think the term AI is unhelpful. Lets stop pretending this is anything other than it is. Brute force matrix calcs on a large data set.
-
Who still invites gladwell?

Tesla cars are already robots. You don't need to add another humanoid shaped robot to make them drive.

Ironically all big tech talking about open source is that group which is left behind ...lol
-
Any other MB20 fans here?
-
So lite on real details and meaning. He hasn't changed since he lied about Viso experience. Just blantant flimflam.
-
Thank you both very much for sharing your time and work Malcolm and Rob, peace

No way he's 29!
