Episode 44: AI for AI's Sake

We're in the midst of the AI gold rush. New AI startups are coming to market at a breakneck pace and legacy SaaS platforms are making strategic acquisitions and tasking product teams with embedding AI in their products. But as we're chasing this shiny new object of AI, are companies losing sight of a critical element of product development—creating solutions that solve customers' problems, pain points, and challenges? At the moment it feels like many companies are working this backwards trying to find problems that new AI technologies can solve. That's why I asked Lance Haun, HR industry vet and market expert at TSC | Previously The Starr Conspiracy, to chat with me about the AI race and impacts it's having on the HR Tech industry. Before you label us Luddites, I think these types of conversations are important to have in the current chaos of this hyper technology expansion to question the actual value and adoption of the AI tools being implemented. Sure you can use NoteGPT or Notta｜AI meeting notes & audio transcription to get a quick summary of this episode, but you'll miss all the fun, the laughs, and the witty banter of two nerds that like to chat about HR, technology, and product development.
