Thought Leaders in Artificial Intelligence: Ashutosh Garg, CEO of Eightfold.ai (Part 1)

This is one of the best TLAI interviews I have done. Ashutosh has founded two AI-driven companies, so have I. We kick around heavy-duty material.

Sramana Mitra: Let’s start by introducing our audience to yourself as well as to Eightfold.ai.

Ashutosh Garg: I got my PhD in AI from the University of Illinoi – Urbana Champagne. Then I did research in Google and then started a company called BloomReach in the e-commerce personalization space. You might remember doing this interview with my co-founder Raj over there.

Thought Leaders in Artificial Intelligence: Allied Universal CIO Mark Mullison (Part 3)

Mark Mullison: What was so exciting to us is that the AI engine not only decided to deal with the cafeteria at lunch and the trips on the loading dock, but also with the laptop thefts in the lab. It went one step further. It understood not only to check the lab for suspicious activities, but it also recommended that the security professionals check all of the access points close to that lab for security policy violations.

Sramana Mitra: Can you take us through some use cases in your customer scenarios where you are seeing these kinds of impact?

Mark Mullison: Just a little more context and then I’ll get to the specifics. There are three big differentiators in Helios’s platform. The first is a proprietary attribute model that we use to store all the knowledge about the site. We organize that in a special way.

Thought Leaders in Artificial Intelligence: Javid Muhammedali, VP of Artificial Intelligence at Bullhorn (Part 3)

Sramana Mitra: My question was, is your AI at a point where people can be replaced with software?

Javed Muhammedali: I don’t believe so. I’ll explain it like this. If you have a car and it has the side mirror warning, front mirror warning, and backup cameras, is there a hypothetical scenario where you can conjure a workflow where every part of the workflow is fully automated?

Thought Leaders in Artificial Intelligence: Javid Muhammedali, VP of Artificial Intelligence at Bullhorn (Part 2)

Javed Muhammedali: What has happened in the industry, in general, is that a lot of those insights are available, but it’s locked away behind a huge reporting application. The end-user has to leave what they’re doing, move to a different interface, and then run this report that you have to wait for.

What we’re trying to do is figure out what elements of those insights can we deliver in bite-sized pieces directly to the recruiter at the time they need it. We’re hinting and nudging them along.
