"AI is non-linear transformation. Its not about process improvement - its about process reinvention, in which you leverage your existing processes as guardrails to define your AI opportunities. You take a forward normative view of that process and the metrics that define their success, and target the metrics themselves. Automata is a great read that captures the opportunities of living with AI and robotics and their societal impact." - Kevin Shatzkamer, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Customer Experience Strategy
