Transcript 0:00 [on-hold music] Welcome back to The Peggy Smedley Show, the podcasting voice of IoT and digital transformation. Hello, listeners, um, welcome back to The Peggy Smedley Show. 0:15 So while we're trying to get on my guest here, uh, I thought I would, uh, in the meantime, kind of, uh, go over... We, uh, got some comments during the break about artificial intelligence and, uh, the... 0:28 kind of what's gonna happen with, uh, NIST, and I thought it was kind of interesting. Some of you have some very strong opinions about, uh, the future and, uh, developing our AI plan. 0:41 And, uh, one of them, somebody asked me about removing regulatory barriers when we're struggling right now. Well, you know, it's, it's kind of interesting, but I... 0:50 You know, we can, we can address those regulatory barrier issues, uh, I suppose another time. 0:55 But I am interested in the comment that someone asked about providing education and training opportunities to prepare American workforce for AI. I love that question because how are we going to do that? 1:07 I think that's an interesting one because I think when we look at what we're going to be doing for our next generation, how are we going to prepare our next generation, I think, is really a, a great question because I think our next generation is really our future. 1:28 I think when we think about Generation Z and the power of how rapidly they are learning, and they embrace technology, and I think they're very open to understanding what the biases are and really understanding how we need to address some of those when we think about artificial intelligence and we think about diversity and we think about all the things we have to be thinking about. 1:57 Uh, I think that that, to me, is a powerful tool all in itself. 2:03 And when we think about the algorithms that have to go into artificial intelligence, uh, I'm hoping our next generation takes all of those things into consideration when they develop new apps and new, uh, tools that are going to be addressed. 2:21 So I thought that that was a great question, um, and I'm hoping that we are thinking about an action plan that takes all of that into consideration, and I'm optimistic in that sense. 2:36 I'm very optimistic that our administration is really focusing on AI because I think artificial intelligence is going to leapfrog a lot of other technologies. 2:48 I had a interview yesterday with a company, um, that is releasing some reports, and I guess I can't talk about it yet 'cause they gave it to us under embargo. 2:58 But when I was going through some of their own information, I think I shared some things about their own study that they were not even aware of, and mainly some of the information that they did not realize, uh, about their information, uh, I was, uh, talking to them about, was kind of basically sharing with them that 3:20 their own tools and information the market was going on about was going to tell them that the next generation is actually leveraging all of this information, is, is going to be powerful. 3:34 So it's going to be a very interesting time. It's kind of a complicated, uh, opportunity. But when we were looking at leapfrogging other solutions, uh, they were... 3:45 I was trying to say that the next generation really captures the knowledge of it and is extremely powerful in their ability to understand how to use it faster than I think previous generations would understand certain technologies. 3:59 Almost like saying that the technology that we have is exponentially, uh, growing. 4:05 That's what I think our next generations are going to understand artificial intelligence and machine learning and, and developing solutions that would go along with that. 4:14 And it's, it's kind of interesting when the research we're doing and talking to the next generations, how they capture and, and are embracing solutions, the research that we're doing here at Connected World and in some of our readership is showing us that. 4:31 Um, we're interviewing younger readers and things like that, so it's really a powerful thing to be able to capture and leverage some of these things is to see what's happening. So, um, these are pretty exciting times. 4:42 So a great question, great, uh, uh, kind of things to say what's gonna happen. 4:47 So the question is, I'm also hoping, uh, the question is, uh, someone said, "Will we continue to, uh, you know, uh, promote sustained AI and R&D investment?" Well, isn't that an interesting question? 5:00 Uh, you know, I don't know. Uh, I'd love to see. You know, we're an environment, you know, we can't get our friends, uh, you know, the Republicans and the Democrats to agree on a whole lot of things. 5:11 So, um, but, you know, if somebody would agree, we could get in-infrastructure, um, you know, just dollars to be put in, that would be a nice thing. 5:21 But looking at AI, you know, if we can continue to promote sustained AI R&D investment, that would be a fabulous thing, you know? But we have to look at other things. We have to worry about keeping the bad guys at bay. 5:35 You know, there's a lot of nefarious characters. You hear me say that all the time. And, um, you know, it's a challenge for them to kind of wanna go after things. 5:43 But we have to focus on right now, um, trying to, to keep doing things and trying to think about how do we, um, keep ourselves as sharp as we can be. 5:54 And sometimes the dollars that are out there don't go to all the things that we want to go to. 5:59 So that's gonna be one that I'm, I'm not sure I have the answers to, but I'm hoping that-Everybody who's smarter than I will continue to see smarter things. 6:09 But I can still talk about it here on, on this show and encourage and, and prod people to, uh, keep focusing on those things. And so we are out of time for this broadcast. 6:20 But remember, we broadcast live every Tuesday at twelve PM Central. Love to get your thoughts. Tweet at me. 6:26 Hey, this was a great day for me to get to answer some of your questions, so, um, hopefully you'll send me more and, uh, appreciate you listening and, uh, sharing all the thoughts that you had. 6:36 Tweet at me at connectedwmag, and hopefully we'll get more of those great questions on, uh, and, uh, we'll be answering those. So I love answering your questions and getting your thoughts, so continue to send those. 6:48 And, uh, thanks again for listening.
