Dear Danny<\/h3>\n

The robot revolution may be coming\u2014but we\u2019ve got some human questions to ask. MBA graduate<\/a> Danny Goh is a serial entrepreneur and early-stage investor. He recently co-authored \u201cThe AI Republic<\/a>\u201d, alongside Dr. Terence Tse and Hult professor Dr. Mark Esposito, and is founder and CEO of Nexus FrontierTech<\/a>, an AI research firm helping organizations to run better, leaner, and faster. We pitch him\u00a0some of the pressing questions asked\u00a0by tech entrepreneurs today.<\/p>\n

Q: Dear Danny,\u00a0<\/strong>
\nWhat\u2019s with all the scaremongering around AI?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>
\nFrom,\u00a0<\/strong>
\nFearless (For Now)<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s true, there\u2019s a lot of fear out there. But computerization is really only going to assist humans, not replace them. In order to solve a problem, we need to know exactly what that problem is. Only then can we consider automating the process. We have so many problems right now, and we don\u2019t even know the sources. More than 80% of human time is spent reacting to instant problems\u2014did you use your left or right hand to pick up the toothbrush this morning? These actions are spontaneous; you can schedule your whole day, but the actual and scheduled events won\u2019t have much crossover. Until we\u2019ve worked out the exact objectives for machines to handle that could benefit us, there\u2019s no need to panic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q: Dear Danny,\u00a0<\/strong>
\nLet\u2019s cut to it\u2014will AI take my job?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nFrom,\u00a0<\/strong>
\nOne Foot Out the Door<\/strong><\/p>\n

No need to go just yet. Let\u2019s consider for a moment a little thing called evolution. Mankind has never stopped evolving its job skills. All these new job titles we\u2019ve created, and the ways of working, including AI\u2014it\u2019s a trend we can never stop. That\u2019s the scientific view; from a social side, technology is evolving faster than 99% of people can handle. It creates \u201csocial disturbance\u201d and needs top-down intervention to make it work. Without it we see a marketplace vacuum, as we are seeing now, in certain, mostly white-collar, fields. That might not feel great, but it\u2019s the truth, and it won\u2019t be reversed. It is still critical for humans to use and interpret the data produced; AI is like an upgrade that allows us to go further, faster.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q: Dear Danny,\u00a0<\/strong>
\nHow do you stay informed in this era of data overload?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nFrom,\u00a0<\/strong>
\nToo Many Tabs Open<\/strong><\/p>\n

Personally, I keep a minimum of two hours aside for reading the news every night. That\u2019s my golden rule. Because of that, my pitch to clients and investors is updated weekly. My team calls me crazy, but that\u2019s how I ensure the company stays close to the markets and pivots the right way, rather than waiting for them to respond to us.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q: Dear Danny,\u00a0<\/strong>
\nHow do you build a strong team?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nFrom,\u00a0<\/strong>
\nTeamwork Makes the Dream Work<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having the same mindset of people together, regardless of capability, is key. For me, it\u2019s about integrity. Sometimes the problem will be within my knowledge, sometimes it\u2019s within yours; but you need complete trust from all.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q: Dear Danny,\u00a0<\/strong>
\nI want to work in AI, but don\u2019t know how to get in. What kind of roles should I be looking at?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nFrom,\u00a0<\/strong>
\nAI: Ambitious and Intrigued<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right now, there\u2019s a big gap between the technical and business worlds because the technology is moving so quickly, and business is failing to adapt at speed. What we need most in industry are project managers who can help to bridge that gap and implement these technologies. The trend has moved from last year, where we were paying millions of dollars to AI scientists; right now, we\u2019re looking for those businesspeople who can understand AI. It\u2019s the reason for our\u00a0book\u2014it\u2019s not a technical read, but we\u2019re trying to impart some technical insight to businesspeople, ultimately to make our projects bigger, better, and more impactful.<\/p>\n
