Dr. Jerry Smith welcomes you to another episode of AI Live and Unbiased to explore the breadth and depth of Artificial Intelligence and to encourage you to change the world, not just observe it!   In today’s episode, Dr. Jerry is going to talk about AI digital transformation, a process that has evolved into some capabilities that are believed to be transformational. Dr. Jerry is going through the story circle, outlining the reasons why digital transformation is important and its several components.   Key Takeaways: Challenges in traditional digital transformation: Transforming the company digitally (which is not the same as digitally transforming you). Digital transformation is a continuous adapting process. First problems that all organizations have: Organizations collect information and store it without seeing the immediate value in storing data. What can data tell me? Does any of this data tell me about the behavior of the customer? The cognitive phase is about the human cognition applied to data; Dr. Jerry explains how it is done through our five senses: Vision. Voice (we can tell how someone is feeling by their different tones). Language processing. Sentiment analysis. Cognitive search on decision-making. Causality: All data is interesting, but it is not all important. Certain kinds of data are causal to certain kinds of problems. Find what is causal to your business concern. Levers of change: If you can find a way to change a variable to go from A to B then you are going to change the output. We move from a passive understanding of the world (collecting data) to a deep insight phase where we can now change the variables and learn deeply. A digital surrogate is a predictor with causal inputs, it is a digital representation of the entity that is important to us. We can predict how the world is going to change. The Optimization Stage: Evolutionary computing is an optimization technique that allows us to seek in the complete search base in a very time-friendly way, and find the optimal result. We apply evolutionary computing to figure out how to best treat inputs to achieve an optimal outcome. The Implementation stage: We take these inputs and transition them into real-life programs in the real world. If you apply this program, you will create change, it is unavoidable.   Stay Connected with AI Live and Unbiased: Visit our website AgileThought.com Email your thoughts or suggestions to Podcast@AgileThought.com or Tweet @AgileThought using #AgileThoughtPodcast!   Learn more about Dr. Jerry Smith
