The moral imperative for SaaS vendors is the idea that "what got you to this point, will not get you to the next point". Many founders/leaders of a company have achieved their success by bucking the trend and ignoring the advice of trusted advisors. This for many is perceived as having an ego. But this was needed for survival to make it this far. Then suddenly this method stops working. That point has come for many of us, as the problems we face today are far greater than any single company can tackle. It requires companies to work together as a team, it asks for die hard competitors (Apple and Google) to create a unified front, and may even require a joint venture between a multinational and a small start-up with innovative products. This is the time to put your ego in check and let common sense prevail.

Vasco Pedro - The future is here: How humans and AI will propel the hybrid wo...SaaStock
The threat of AI taking over our jobs is a belief that many still have today. But nothing can be further from the truth—as with any disruptive technology, some jobs will be replaced by machines, while many more opportunities will be created and augmented for more efficiency and value. This is evident with the current COVID-19 crisis in how organizations that are utilizing a hybrid workforce of humans and AI-powered virtual agents have been able to optimize the customer experience. While conversational AI provides 24/7 automated self-service, live agents are given more bandwidth to focus on more complex, higher-value work that requires personal interactions.
Some companies struggle to unlock growth despite having happy customers and Product-Market-Fit. Unlocking growth requires the company to find Go-To-Market Fit. Tae Hea shares a way to find GTM Fit -- called “Surfing to GTM Fit.” Why surfing? Unlocking growth feels like the transition from paddling to surfing. Surfing is a three step process: 1) catching the wave (finding the urgent pain to get leads), 2) riding the wave (executing a playbook to find and close the same type of customers), and 3) having the right surfboard (personalizing your GTM model).

But there's still a case for qualified leads, especially when selling to smaller companies with a high-velocity sales cycle. We explore successful lead-gen strategies that have struck the balance between account-based and high-velocity marketing to drive qualified leads into the arms of hungry salespeople.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
