What an AI-Native Turnaround Actually Looks Like
M
11:39Monisha SaldanhaHOST
And as a technical founder, how do you decide whether something should be handled by an AI agent, traditional software automation, or a human being?
J
11:51Jay SmithGUEST
So if I have like one of the support problems, right? The AI system could diagnose and it could recommend, but it can't make a change because it can't be responsible for the outcome of the change, right? If it says, hey, I need to replace this system for whatever reason, right? If that happens to break things worse, right, it has no accountability for it having downloaded.

12:11Jay SmithGUEST
So there's a person in the loop at the place where there's revenue at risk, right? So it can summarize, understand, digest data and point you in the right direction to make the people that are responsible for that decision to make it take action, right? So it can propose the information, but then a responsible party has to take that and then decide what action to actually ultimately go take.
J
12:37Jay SmithGUEST
There's sort of, well, is there revenue at risk in that regard? I think the AI is at work timely.

12:44Jay SmithGUEST
So if you're working at machine time, if it's simple, repeatable issues, things that we understand well as a deterministic outcome, that all bodes well for it.
