The AI-First Company with Ash Fontana
Manage episode 352155898 series 3279178
This week I'm joined by Ash Fontana, author of The AI-First Company and Managing Director at Zetta Venture Partners. The AI-First Company is a superb read and succeeds on two levels. Firstly by articulating to executives why their business should become AI first, and secondly acting as a playbook for managers tasked with implementing the steps to becoming AI First.
In the podcast we explore the key themes from the book, such as what it means and takes to be an AI-First Company, exemplars in this space, the concept of Data Learning Effects (DLEs), how to win the war for AI talent and what Ash looks for when investing in AI start-ups.
There are few people to rival Ash in terms of understanding and backing AI first companies, and he talks with great eloquence about the topic here.
I hope you enjoy the episode.
