Brian Solis to Keynote 2024 Gartner IT Symposium in Orlando Florida

Brian Solis, Head of Global Innovation at ServiceNow, will keynote the Gartner IT Symposium in Orlando on October 22nd 2024.

Attendees who visit the ServiceNow booth will also be treated to a complimentary copy of Brian’s new book Mindshift: Transform Leadership, Drive Innovation, and Reshape the Future.

The vision of CIOs and technology executives matters more than ever – calling for leaders executing technology priorities while preparing for an AI-augmented future. Instilling a culture of innovation and creating an organization fit for the next-generation workforce.

The Great Divide: Uniting the C-Suite to Build the Business of the Future

CEOs are leaned into AI like no other technology before, mentioning GenAI in earnings calls 40,000 in 2023. At the same time, only one-third of CIOs and technology leaders are actively piloting generative AI solutions according to Gartner research. While business executives are bullish on genAI, costs, lack of resources, and the absence of an ultimate vision for the future are creating a notable divide within companies around the world.

Storied venture capitalist Vinod Khosla observed the rate of progress of AI on all fronts and the general lack of progress in the evolution of companies. “Most businesses have no clue what is about to hit them in the next ten years when most rules of engagement will change,” he said, noting that he believes only a few hundred people know what is happening.

Add to this, a headline story in The Economist wondered, “What happened to the artificial intelligence revolution,” exploring why the technology has had almost no impact.

The answer lies in the great divide between executive vision and digital investments and execution. We have to start with examining potential impacts and futures, design for adaptation and innovation, and define the role we want to play in building this new future.

It’s time to rethink the next generation of business and our place in it.

AInsights: OpenAI’s o1 Model and the New Era of Generative AI That Can Reason and Learn

AInsights: Your executive-level insights making sense of the latest in generative AI…

OpenAI recently introduced its o1-preview and o1-mini models. Previously rumored as Project Strawberry, o1 represents a significant advancement in generative AI evolution, designed to enhance reasoning capabilities and problem-solving skills.

It consists of two main variants: o1-preview: The flagship model with deep reasoning and problem-solving abilities. o1-mini: A smaller, more efficient model optimized for code generation and technical tasks.

The o1 model uses “Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning in 01 to improve problem-solving. What that means is that o1 breaks down complex problems into smaller, manageable steps, mimicking human thought processes. This allows the AI to tackle problems systematically, improving accuracy, and depth of responses.

As it progresses through the reasoning chain, the 01 model recognizes and corrects mistakes. It can also break down complex steps into simpler ones as needed.

Let’s get this out of the way. The 01 model is slower to deliver results than the standard ChatGPT model. Before you complain, it’s because it’s “thinking” about the output it delivers to you. It’s also learning through a process called reinforcement learning (RL).

RL allows the model to refine its reasoning strategies over time. Through repeated interactions and feedback, o1 learns to recognize and correct mistakes, break down complex problems into simpler steps, and try alternative approaches when initial attempts fail

AInsights

OpenAI o1 represents a significant advancement in AI technology that has several important implications for business executives and their teams…

Enhanced problem-solving capabilities

The o1 models, particularly o1-preview, excel at complex reasoning tasks, especially in STEM fields. This can help teams tackle challenging technical and analytical problems more effectively.

Some possible scenarios would include more accurate and insightful solutions to complex business challenges, improved performance in fields like coding, mathematics, and logical reasoning, and the potential for tackling previously unsolvable problems.

For example, in mathematical and scientific tasks, o1 significantly outperformed GPT-4o. In one case, o1 solved 83% of International Mathematical Olympiad problems compared to GPT-4o’s 13%.

Better decision-making

The advanced reasoning capabilities of o1 models can provide more accurate and insightful analysis, supporting executives in making more informed decisions.

o1’s advanced reasoning can support executives in making more informed decisions by providing deeper analysis of complex data and situations.

With their advanced reasoning abilities, o1 models can also provide more nuanced insights for strategic decision-making. They offer detailed analysis of complex business scenarios and also help in risk assessment and mitigation strategies.

Self-reflection

o1 can reassess its outputs, correct errors, and reduce hallucinations, leading to more reliable responses.

Specialized Applications

The o1 models show particular promise in certain areas:

1) Scientific Research: They can assist with tasks like annotating cell sequencing data and handling complex mathematical formulas.

2) Financial Analysis: The models’ mathematical prowess could be valuable for financial modeling and risk assessment.

3) Software Development: o1 models perform exceptionally well in coding tasks, potentially accelerating software development processes.

Potential for AI Agents

The o1 models’ capabilities make them suited for developing AI agents that can handle complex, multi-step tasks. This could lead to, 1) more sophisticated automation of business processes across multiple business groups and systems, 2) AI agents capable of handling of intricate workflows, and 3) reduced need for human intervention (human in the loop) in certain complex tasks.

The last one, for the savvy executive, represents the most important opportunity for the future of business. It’s a “mindshift” from automation to automation and augmentation. It’s not a matter of replacing people, but instead to augment them by super-charging their capabilities. We’ve not spent enough energy imagining what augmented work and outcomes could be, and this is a competitive opportunity.

Did you hear? I have a new book publishing, my first in five years!? It’s called Mindshift: Transform Leadership, Drive Innovation, and Reshape the Future. And, it’s available to order now. Please visit Mindshift.ing to learn more!

Recruiting Future Podcast: Augmenting Talent Acquisition with Generative AI

This is me with Matt Alder, Talent Acquisition Futurist, podcast host, and my new friend, following my presentation at SmartRecruiters’ Hiring Success event in Amsterdam.

I joined Matt on his show, Recruiting Future We discussed ways generative AI is reshaping the future of talent acquisition for companies and job seekers.

Please listen!

Most conversations about AI in talent acquisition focus on efficiencies and automating repetitive tasks. However, we are missing the point if we don’t start talking about how AI could help reshape recruiting entirely, making it more efficient but also more effective. Why stop at recruiting? AI could revolutionize work and the whole way we think about careers.

The current limitations of our thinking were really brought home to me when I attended the SmartRecruiters Hiring Success conference last week in Amsterdam. An overarching theme was that automation is a given with AI, and we should think much bigger.

So, what does this mean for TA strategies, and how can TA Leaders ensure they proactively shape the future direction of recruiting?

My guest this week is Brian Solis, Head of Global Innovation at ServiceNow. He is also an internationally renowned digital anthropologist and award-winning author. Brian gave the opening keynote at Hiring Success, and I caught up with him after he left the stage to get his thoughts on the current state of the AI revolution and the future of talent acquisition.

In the interview, we discuss:

• Where is the Gen AI revolution?

• New behaviors, skills, and expectations

• How are companies responding?

• Empowering people with augmented intelligence

• How can we think differently?

• AI-enabled job seekers

• Using an empathetic lens to identify quick wins

• Differentiated use cases and transformational initiatives

• The importance of the human touch

• Three things TA leaders should be doing right now

• What should recruiting look like in five years?

The Information Features Brian Solis’ Story About Life with AI-Powered Meta Ray-Ban Sunglasses

Art by Clark Miller, The Information

The Information‘s Abram Brown interviewed Brian Solis, Head of Global Innovation at ServiceNow, for his experience as a vocal user of Meta and Ray-Ban’s new AI-powered smart sunglasses. As an early-adopter, Brian has also worn the infamous Google Glass and Bose audio-only Frames in the past. While he skipped the first generation of the Meta Ray-Ban glasses, he jumped in on phase two because of the higher video and still image resolution, Spatial Audio and array of advanced mics, and most importantly, the integrated AI-functionality.

Silicon Valley Eyes an Unexpected Summer It Item

A month or so ago, Brian Solis wore some flashy bling to dinner with friends in Lake Tahoe: his new Ray-Ban Meta glasses. “I didn’t wear them for them to be a topic of conversation,” said Solis, head of global innovation at ServiceNow, an enterprise software company. “But they were a topic of conversation.”

He showed off the black, slimmish, Wayfarer-style specs to his friends and demoed their technical capabilities: five mics, spatial audio, a voice-controlled AI assistant and a 12-megapixel camera for video and photos. Solis had originally worn the glasses thinking they’d be great for snapping some candid shots at dinner: The group hadn’t seen each other in a while. (“And we had a sunset-view table,” he said.)

By the time the evening ended, his friends had developed glasses envy. And since? “They’ve all gotten a pair,” said Solis, who often has found himself evangelizing the device to others. “If I was earning a commission from doing it, it would be a notable amount of money.”

AInsights: OpenAI Introduces SearchGPT and With It, The Rise of an AI Search Revolution

AInsights: Your executive-level insights making sense of the latest in generative AI…

First Perplexity introduced genAI users to the practice of intelligent search. Then Perplexity introduced Pages to reflect intelligent summaries of your research. Now OpenAI is joining the mix to introduce SearchGPT, a genAI-powered search engine  designed to take on Google and other generative AI platforms.

SearchGPT leverages OpenAI’s generative AI language models, specifically from GPT-4, to provide more intuitive and conversational search experiences. Instead of just listing links, usually those gamed by search engine optimization (SEO), SearchGPT generates concise summaries and detailed answers, often with relevant links and citations directly embedded in the response.

Let’s explore key features of SearchGPT…

User Experience

Ad-Free Interface: Unlike traditional search engines like Google and Bing, SearchGPT offers an ad-free user experience, which enhances usability by removing distractions.

Enhanced Search Interface: The interface features a larger search box and a three-column layout for easy navigation. Users can toggle between light and dark themes based on their preferences.

Visual Answers: SearchGPT includes a feature for “visual answers,” which provides AI-generated visuals to complement textual information, although specific details about this feature are still emerging.

Real-Time Information

SearchGPT combines real-time web data with AI to deliver up-to-date answers. This approach aims to reduce the effort required to find relevant information by providing clear and timely responses.

Follow-Up Questions

Users can ask follow-up questions in a conversational manner, with the search engine maintaining context from previous queries. This feature makes it easier to delve deeper into topics without starting new searches from scratch.

Publisher Partnerships

OpenAI has partnered with various publishers to ensure that content is properly attributed and linked back to original sources. This collaboration helps maintain a healthy ecosystem for content creators while providing users with credible information.

earchGPT is still in its prototype phase, currently available to a limited group of 10,000 test users. OpenAI plans to gather feedback from these users and publishers to refine the tool further. The ultimate goal is to integrate the best features of SearchGPT into ChatGPT, enhancing its utility as a conversational AI assistant.

AInsights

SearchGPT, OpenAI’s new AI-powered search engine, presents significant implications for business and marketing executives.

Think about SEO and content strategies today? A large set of resources are dedicated to consumer (customer) search behavior. At one point, Google dominated search and the resulting customer journey. For years I was an advisor to Google around micro-moments and also served as a CMO strategist to help brands design customer experiences and journeys that were optimized for mobile devices. Since then, search has continued to evolve with Youtube, Instagram, TikTok, and now genAI evolving search behaviors and journeys.

I call today’s search opportunities “Ignite Moments.” And they can happen anywhere now, requiring brands to reverse-engineer behaviors and technology platforms to build dynamic, contextual, native, and intuitive journeys for customers at the point of engagement.

SEO ad Content

Focus on Quality Over Quantity: SearchGPT’s emphasis on high-quality, well-structured content means that businesses need to focus on creating valuable and coherent content. This shift could penalize low-quality, hastily produced content, rewarding those who invest in thorough and meaningful content creation. Remember, Ignite Moments (more here).

Integrate Real-Time Data: The AI’s capability to access and integrate real-time web data means that SEO strategies must adapt to more dynamic and immediate content updates. This could involve more frequent content reviews and updates to stay relevant.

Marketing and Advertising

Clear Source Attribution: SearchGPT ensures that sources are clearly cited, like Perplexity, which can drive traffic to original content creators. This transparency can enhance the credibility of information and improve trust among users.

Reduced Dependency on Ads: The ad-free nature of SearchGPT might challenge traditional advertising models. Businesses will need to explore new ways to reach their audience, possibly focusing more on organic search strategies and content marketing.

Challenges and Opportunities

Adoption and Adaptation: Convincing users to switch from established search engines like Google will be a challenge. However, businesses that adapt early to the new search paradigm can gain a competitive edge.

Operational Costs and Scalability: The high operational costs associated with AI-powered search engines could be a barrier. Businesses must weigh the benefits against the costs and consider how to scale their digital marketing efforts effectively.

Future Directions

Integration with ChatGPT: OpenAI plans to integrate the best features of SearchGPT into ChatGPT, potentially expanding its reach and utility. This integration could provide businesses with more comprehensive tools for customer interaction and support.

Local and E-commerce Information: SearchGPT’s ability to provide localized results and handle e-commerce queries can be leveraged by businesses to enhance their local SEO and online sales strategies

SearchGPT represents a significant shift in the search landscape, offering both opportunities and challenges for business and marketing executives. By focusing on high-quality content, adapting to new SEO practices, and leveraging the AI’s advanced capabilities, businesses can position themselves to thrive in this evolving intelligent, digital environment.

“AI search is going to become one of the key ways that people navigate the internet, and it’s crucial, in these early days, that the technology is built in a way that values, respects, and protects journalism and publishers. We look forward to partnering with OpenAI in the process, and creating a new way for readers to discover The Atlantic.” – Nicholas Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic

AInsights: OpenAI Defines Five Stages to Track Progress Toward Human-Level Intelligence

AInsights: Your executive-level insights making sense of the latest in generative AI…

OpenAI has outlined a five-level system to track the progress of artificial intelligence (AI) towards achieving human-level intelligence, also known as Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). According to an OpenAI spokesperson, the company told Bloomberg that the company is close to level two, “Reasoners,” where AI can perform problem-solving at the level of a human with a doctorate degree but no access to tools.

How close is OpenAI to level 2?

Let’s take a step back to understand the difference between where we are today with generative AI and how it compares to artificial general intelligence (AGI).

Generative AI and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) represent two distinct stages in the evolution of artificial intelligence, each with unique capabilities and limitations.

Generative AI is currently a powerful tool for specific tasks involving content creation and pattern recognition, widely used across various industries to enhance productivity and creativity. However, it lacks true understanding and adaptability.

AGI is a type of AI that could learn to accomplish any intellectual task that human beings or animals can perform, or surpass human capabilities in the majority of economically valuable tasks. It represents the future goal of AI research, aiming to create machines with human-like cognitive abilities capable of understanding, learning, and innovating across diverse domains. While promising transformative potential, AGI remains a theoretical pursuit with significant challenges to overcome.

However, OpenAI articulated the perceived stages to get from genAI to AGI.

Let’s review a summary of each stage:

Level 1: Conversational AI (we are currently here)
At this initial stage, AI systems can engage in natural language conversations with humans. Examples include chatbots and virtual assistants like OpenAI’s ChatGPT. These systems can handle customer service interactions and provide basic assistance but are limited to language-based tasks and lack complex problem-solving abilities.

Level 2: Reasoners
The second stage involves AI systems capable of solving problems at the level of a human with a doctorate degree, but without access to external tools. These “Reasoners” are expected to excel in academic and professional fields, tackling complex problems independently. This marks a significant leap in AI’s cognitive abilities, enabling applications in research, medicine, and engineering.

Level 3: Agents
At this stage, AI systems, referred to as “Agents,” can autonomously perform tasks on behalf of users over an extended period. These systems can operate independently without constant human intervention, potentially revolutionizing business operations and efficiency by handling a variety of tasks across different domains.

Level 4: Innovators
The fourth level, known as “Innovators,” describes AI systems that can aid in developing new inventions. These systems can contribute to scientific discoveries and technological advancements by generating innovative solutions and ideas. This stage signifies AI’s ability to not just perform tasks but also to create and innovate.

Level 5: Organizations
The final stage envisions AI systems capable of performing the work of an entire organization. These “Organizations” can manage and execute all functions of a business, surpassing traditional human-based operations in terms of efficiency and productivity. This stage represents the pinnacle of AI development, where AI can autonomously run complex organizational structures.

OpenAI believes it is currently at Level 1 and is approaching Level 2. The timeline for achieving these advanced levels of AI varies, with estimates ranging from a few years to several decades. The progression through these stages highlights the incremental advancements in AI capabilities and the transformative potential of AGI.

Let’s revisit the question, how close is OpenAI to achieving level two, “Reasoners”?

The answer is a secret and appears to be codenamed “Project Strawberry.”

Project Strawberry aims to enhance AI’s reasoning capabilities, enabling models to plan ahead, navigate the internet autonomously, and perform deep research. The project builds on techniques like Stanford’s Self-Taught Reasoner (STaR), which allows AI models to iteratively create their own training data, thus improving their reasoning skills over time.

Current Capabilities and Demonstrations:

Recent demonstrations within OpenAI have shown promising strides towards human-like reasoning. For instance, internal tests have reportedly seen AI models scoring over 90% on challenging math tests, a significant indicator of advanced problem-solving abilities. These capabilities suggest that OpenAI is on the cusp of achieving the reasoning skills required for Level 2.

Challenges and Outlook:

Despite these advancements, the exact timeline for publicly releasing these capabilities remains, well, uncertain. From what I understand, the development process involves continuous fine-tuning and testing to ensure reliability and effectiveness. While there have been significant advancements, the leap from current capabilities to fully achieving Level 2 is still a work in progress.

I guess we’ll know when they’re ready for us to know.

AInsights
