Why AI should be part of every startup?
Artificial Intelligence is increasingly moving from the lab to offices, factories, hospitals, construction sites and consumers’ lives and a different approach is needed. Innovations in responsible AI are advancing quickly. Machine learning algorithms, for example, are getting better at explaining their rationale, strengths, weaknesses and likely future behavior.
Our mission is to inspire more people who want to change their lives and find the jobs they love. Our dream is to decrease the percentage of people who don’t like their everyday jobs as currently it is more than 75%.
Together, we can bring this dream to our lives much faster. When all startups start including AI technologies, more people will become familiar with Machine Learning and this will accelerate the process. People should not be scared by the robots but instead we all should see the opportunities that computers give us and all the benefits we get.

How AI can accelerate your startup?
AI is considered by many to be spearheading the Fourth Industrial Revolution. From self-driving cars, voice searches, and Amazon product recommendations to cyber security, chatbots, and stock market software, AI is being leveraged to make our lives easier.
Most leading companies are already starting to move their AI models into production, where they will run operations to enhance decision-making and provide forward-looking intelligence to people in every function. If you’re serious about AI, formalize your approach and develop company-wide capabilities so successful (and smaller) projects can be replicated and built into a greater whole.
You can modify and use the AI component to speed up all parts of the company—such as customer service, marketing, tax and supply chain management—that also consume huge amounts of unstructured and semi-structured data.
AI in healthcare, for example, could enable new business models based on monitoring patient lifestyle data, provide quicker and more accurate diagnoses of cancer and other diseases and generate personalized and adaptive health insurance. Retailers are already using AI to anticipate trends and guide businesses to meet them. Next up is hyper-personalized retail: AI and automation make it feasible for retailers to offer a growing number of products and services made specifically for one individual.

Building your AI team
When building your distributed team, it is important to have individuals from diverse backgrounds with a selection of different talents, skills and experience. You will have to coach them and implement new collaborative structures to enable them to partner effectively with each other as this will improve their work performance.
AI’s ability to find trends in data and extrapolate them into the future—along with letting you explore scenarios around new products, markets and business models—can support even your most monumental strategic decisions.

| Use AI to explore strategy, to create new products, reinvent your business.
Find passionate people who love to learn, connect them with AI mentors and improve your startup with the knowledge they will get.
Recruiting and upskilling are just two pieces of the puzzle. You also need to systematically identify how AI is changing job roles and skills; evolve upskilling, performance and compensation frameworks and develop new collaborative processes.
Get busy and establish your AI strategy:
– Ensure AI has its own organizational structure and workforce plans.
– Create a plan to reinvent the business to grow revenue and profits with AI.
– Converge AI with other existing and emerging technologies to create the most value.
