good afternoon everyone thank you for the opportunity so I’m
thank you for the opportunity so I’m
thank you for the opportunity so I’m shafte I work for a startup called
shafte I work for a startup called
shafte I work for a startup called Utah where we try to use machine
Utah where we try to use machine
Utah where we try to use machine learning and AI technology along with
learning and AI technology along with
learning and AI technology along with human summer service assistance to try
human summer service assistance to try
human summer service assistance to try and improve the user experience of any
and improve the user experience of any
and improve the user experience of any product and service so I want to get a
product and service so I want to get a
product and service so I want to get a bit talk a bit more about what it’s what
bit talk a bit more about what it’s what
bit talk a bit more about what it’s what artificial intelligences are like it’s
artificial intelligences are like it’s
artificial intelligences are like it’s something that came like seems to be
something that came like seems to be
something that came like seems to be making exponential growth almost every
making exponential growth almost every
making exponential growth almost every single week almost every day they exist
single week almost every day they exist
single week almost every day they exist it seems to be like a new news about
it seems to be like a new news about
it seems to be like a new news about like something great on AI but it is
like something great on AI but it is
like something great on AI but it is something really new well not
something really new well not
something really new well not necessarily like some of these ideas
necessarily like some of these ideas
necessarily like some of these ideas have been around for a long time in
have been around for a long time in
have been around for a long time in science fiction and even in reality like
science fiction and even in reality like
science fiction and even in reality like the term AI was first used in the 1950s
the term AI was first used in the 1950s
the term AI was first used in the 1950s so what happened after 1950s this is
so what happened after 1950s this is
so what happened after 1950s this is almost 2020 like what happened with the
almost 2020 like what happened with the
almost 2020 like what happened with the AI in between like why is there a sudden
AI in between like why is there a sudden
AI in between like why is there a sudden it’s like explosion of AI now well
it’s like explosion of AI now well
it’s like explosion of AI now well basically what happened was that
basically what happened was that
basically what happened was that computers have gotten extremely powerful
computers have gotten extremely powerful
computers have gotten extremely powerful and comparatively cheaper over the years
and comparatively cheaper over the years
and comparatively cheaper over the years which which enabled like the AI
which which enabled like the AI
which which enabled like the AI algorithms to process a larger amount of
algorithms to process a larger amount of
algorithms to process a larger amount of data more efficiently and come up with
data more efficiently and come up with
data more efficiently and come up with better results so but at the core how
better results so but at the core how
better results so but at the core how does AI work well the idea of AI is
does AI work well the idea of AI is
does AI work well the idea of AI is actually quite simple you take a lot of
actually quite simple you take a lot of
actually quite simple you take a lot of data you analyze the data you try and
data you analyze the data you try and
data you analyze the data you try and find patterns in existing data and using
find patterns in existing data and using
find patterns in existing data and using those patterns you try and predict
those patterns you try and predict
those patterns you try and predict future patterns what might happen in the
future patterns what might happen in the
future patterns what might happen in the future like how previous history might
future like how previous history might
future like how previous history might affect your future outcome and based on
affect your future outcome and based on
affect your future outcome and based on that you can make certain decisions to
that you can make certain decisions to
that you can make certain decisions to help your daily job daily
help your daily job daily
help your daily job daily and based on those decisions you again
and based on those decisions you again
and based on those decisions you again feed the computer with your feedback
feed the computer with your feedback
feed the computer with your feedback which helps the computer algorithms to
which helps the computer algorithms to
which helps the computer algorithms to make even better predictions in the
make even better predictions in the
make even better predictions in the future so why is it important like why
future so why is it important like why
future so why is it important like why do we need to know about AI like is it
do we need to know about AI like is it
do we need to know about AI like is it something only the tech guys should know
something only the tech guys should know
something only the tech guys should know about is it something that should
about is it something that should
about is it something that should concern everyone well let’s see let’s
concern everyone well let’s see let’s
concern everyone well let’s see let’s try and see how a I can help in
try and see how a I can help in
try and see how a I can help in different industries and then figure out
different industries and then figure out
different industries and then figure out like who should be talking about AI
like who should be talking about AI
like who should be talking about AI let’s think about retail
let’s think about retail
let’s think about retail what can a I do in detail I’ll give you
what can a I do in detail I’ll give you
what can a I do in detail I’ll give you a very simple example like of an AI that
a very simple example like of an AI that
a very simple example like of an AI that we all have used for a long time like
we all have used for a long time like
we all have used for a long time like whenever we make any purchases online
whenever we make any purchases online
whenever we make any purchases online you know how the site gives you
you know how the site gives you
you know how the site gives you suggestions related products people you
suggestions related products people you
suggestions related products people you might also like to buy this product
might also like to buy this product
might also like to buy this product that’s a very very basic form of AI and
that’s a very very basic form of AI and
that’s a very very basic form of AI and that has been around for the last twenty
that has been around for the last twenty
that has been around for the last twenty years now over the years as you can like
years now over the years as you can like
years now over the years as you can like a few guys are purchasing products
a few guys are purchasing products
a few guys are purchasing products online you probably notice like nowadays
online you probably notice like nowadays
online you probably notice like nowadays the suggestions are very very personal
the suggestions are very very personal
the suggestions are very very personal like it can actually suggest the actual
like it can actually suggest the actual
like it can actually suggest the actual product you might be looking for and
product you might be looking for and
product you might be looking for and sometimes we do end up buying those
sometimes we do end up buying those
sometimes we do end up buying those products yep and how does the computer
products yep and how does the computer
products yep and how does the computer know this how does it know that I’m if I
know this how does it know that I’m if I
know this how does it know that I’m if I buy monitor I might need a keyboard how
buy monitor I might need a keyboard how
buy monitor I might need a keyboard how does it know it basically checks through
does it know it basically checks through
does it know it basically checks through your previous purchases so it probably
your previous purchases so it probably
your previous purchases so it probably knows that you already have our computer
knows that you already have our computer
knows that you already have our computer you already have a mouse but you don’t
you already have a mouse but you don’t
you already have a mouse but you don’t have a keyboard or our or a miter and
have a keyboard or our or a miter and
have a keyboard or our or a miter and then it suggests you it looks at
then it suggests you it looks at
then it suggests you it looks at patterns of what your friends are buying
patterns of what your friends are buying
patterns of what your friends are buying so if your friends are buying a
so if your friends are buying a
so if your friends are buying a particular type of jeans it will
particular type of jeans it will
particular type of jeans it will automatically suggest you if you would
automatically suggest you if you would
automatically suggest you if you would like to buy the same kind of a jeans and
like to buy the same kind of a jeans and
like to buy the same kind of a jeans and it and this also helps the sellers
it and this also helps the sellers
it and this also helps the sellers basically it helps them to better
basically it helps them to better
basically it helps them to better predict their inventory and reduces cost
predict their inventory and reduces cost
predict their inventory and reduces cost of storing a lot of inventory and it it
of storing a lot of inventory and it it
of storing a lot of inventory and it it kind of increases their sales as well
kind of increases their sales as well
kind of increases their sales as well like sometimes we end up buying more
like sometimes we end up buying more
like sometimes we end up buying more than
than
than we actually initially thought of but
we actually initially thought of but
we actually initially thought of but then again if the if the accuracy of
then again if the if the accuracy of
then again if the if the accuracy of those suggestions are right we’ll
those suggestions are right we’ll
those suggestions are right we’ll probably end up making smarter purchases
probably end up making smarter purchases
probably end up making smarter purchases let’s talk about another industry
let’s talk about another industry
let’s talk about another industry farming I think like most people
farming I think like most people
farming I think like most people wouldn’t associate AI with farming I
wouldn’t associate AI with farming I
wouldn’t associate AI with farming I think I hope that I’m wrong but in
think I hope that I’m wrong but in
think I hope that I’m wrong but in farming AI can increase productivity
farming AI can increase productivity
farming AI can increase productivity exponentially think about how we plant
exponentially think about how we plant
exponentially think about how we plant crops nowadays in Bangladesh like we
crops nowadays in Bangladesh like we
crops nowadays in Bangladesh like we kind of follow the same kind of pattern
kind of follow the same kind of pattern
kind of follow the same kind of pattern every single year if who you are growing
every single year if who you are growing
every single year if who you are growing right for the next five years or till
right for the next five years or till
right for the next five years or till after an amount of time you will be
after an amount of time you will be
after an amount of time you will be growing rice but what if we could let
growing rice but what if we could let
growing rice but what if we could let the farmers give give them more tools
the farmers give give them more tools
the farmers give give them more tools and more suggestions and as to what to
and more suggestions and as to what to
and more suggestions and as to what to plant and how much earnings they’re
plant and how much earnings they’re
plant and how much earnings they’re gonna they can expect at the end of the
gonna they can expect at the end of the
gonna they can expect at the end of the year and what if we also considered data
year and what if we also considered data
year and what if we also considered data from like weather reports population
from like weather reports population
from like weather reports population reports and determine like which kind of
reports and determine like which kind of
reports and determine like which kind of products will be more in demand in the
products will be more in demand in the
products will be more in demand in the coming year and based on that if the
coming year and based on that if the
coming year and based on that if the farmer does his a job so big it
farmer does his a job so big it
farmer does his a job so big it increases the farms productivity it can

more need for commercial space retail
more need for commercial space retail space or even houses right even if we go
space or even houses right even if we go
space or even houses right even if we go into houses would would the population
into houses would would the population
into houses would would the population of the city be single-unit houses or
of the city be single-unit houses or
of the city be single-unit houses or larger apartments we can all predict
larger apartments we can all predict
larger apartments we can all predict this using a customer service like this
this using a customer service like this
this using a customer service like this is something we’re kind of working at
is something we’re kind of working at
is something we’re kind of working at would I like trying to improve the
would I like trying to improve the
would I like trying to improve the customer service experience so like how
customer service experience so like how

can how can it really help here basically like whenever we call customer
basically like whenever we call customer
basically like whenever we call customer service number usually we’d end up
service number usually we’d end up
service number usually we’d end up waiting for some time for the
waiting for some time for the
waiting for some time for the representative to go through my file and
representative to go through my file and
representative to go through my file and then find out exactly what the problem
then find out exactly what the problem
then find out exactly what the problem is and then come up with a solution but
is and then come up with a solution but
is and then come up with a solution but that’s like we did as quick like a small
that’s like we did as quick like a small
that’s like we did as quick like a small study like and we found out that if one
study like and we found out that if one
study like and we found out that if one person is calling about a product with a
person is calling about a product with a
person is calling about a product with a particular kind of issue chances are
particular kind of issue chances are
particular kind of issue chances are someone else before him has already
someone else before him has already
someone else before him has already called regarding the same problem and
called regarding the same problem and
called regarding the same problem and chances are the company already has a
chances are the company already has a
chances are the company already has a proper solution for that problem so
proper solution for that problem so
proper solution for that problem so whenever a new customer is calling the
whenever a new customer is calling the
whenever a new customer is calling the companies no longer have to wait to go
companies no longer have to wait to go
companies no longer have to wait to go through the entire process of finding on
through the entire process of finding on
through the entire process of finding on what the problem is and then figuring or

the solution like they have a solution
the solution like they have a solution ready just the moment the customer
ready just the moment the customer
ready just the moment the customer contacts them and this reduces wait time
contacts them and this reduces wait time
contacts them and this reduces wait time this reduces time at queues and overall
this reduces time at queues and overall
this reduces time at queues and overall improve the experience of the customer
