Speaker 1 (00:00):
Joining us. Now, let's talk a bit more about artificial
intelligence as Daniel Haritos joins US, an innovation expert in
a CEO. Daniel, welcome in, Thanks for being.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Here, great, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Well, I got to tell you AI's infiltration into our
worlds is at lightning speed right now. It's like a Sudnam.
Every time you turn around, there's something new and innovative
with it in how we apply it in our jobs,
in our personal life, everything. And now we're starting to
see the effects on laying folks off with Amazon what
(00:31):
thirty thousand plus jobs I think, or was it fifteen thousand.
Either way, we're seeing the job market kind of slowed
down a little bit in general this time of the
year as companies readjust for their budgets for next year.
But AI is taking the places some of the jobs
out there right now. But a lot of people say,
on the other side of this, and this is what
I want to ask you, even though there's going to
(00:52):
be job cuts because of AI, will there be other
jobs that come on because of AI?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah? Absolutely, I mean that's a big part of it.
I think I heard the other day somebody say that
they're going to you know, get rid of everybody first
before they bring in new talent and find out what
roles they're going to need people for, because you know,
this is a whole new technology. It's not just the technology.
It's done used for coding, it's used for admin, it's
(01:18):
used through a lot of different things. So we have
to figure out where everything lands once it's all implemented.
And I think that's that's what we're waiting on.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, you know, a lot of people compare this to
the Internet. When it first launched. It's like, wow, look
at this beast of a new thing that apparently al
Gore invented. But then we say the applications of the
Internet and what it can do, and yeah, some of
it takes you into the dark world and you end
up with, you know, not so good things going on.
But for the most part, the Internet changed our lives.
(01:49):
Do you anticipate this being very similar or something maybe
even larger than that, and we're just now trying to
wade into the water here instead of diving into the
deep end.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, it's definitely a double edged So I think it's
I refer to it a lot like the Internet. I
think we're going to you know, there's things you do
have to be careful of with it, and I think
a lot of people are voicing their concerns and that's
good to hear.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I like hearing it myself.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
But it's going to bring a lot of convenience and
you know, we can be way more efficient now and
I think that's going to be very important. And with
that extra time that we have, you know, I guess
what do we do with that? Do we become more artistic?
Do we have three day work weeks or you know,
people struggling because they don't have work. Yeah, I think
it's going to.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
I was just going to say, I wonder, you know,
if there's changes things and takes us into that direction
where you know they always say work smarter, not harder.
Does this launch us into a world of Hey, this
really allows us to be able to work smarter and
not harder and increase the economic outlook for the world.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
There's that fasts we do it? Yeah, I think we
think it's going to be a fast implementation and it's
going to happen overnight, but just like the Internet, it
creeps up us on us in twenty years, and I
think this is going to be very similar. We're not
just going to it's much like check out aisles at
the grocery store. I think we all thought when they
came out they were just going to be a big
hitten within five years there was nobody there to check
(03:12):
us out. But that's not the case, you know, and
a lot of people do still want human connection and
I think we're going to see a lot of that still.
So it's going to be a slower process than we think,
but you know, they're.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
More on it the better, right, Right, you're the CEO
and founder of Switch your roof. First of all, what
is switcheroo and how is AI used in your world?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Switcheroo is an app. It has a tend to interface,
so you can swipe left and right and you can
swap goods. So, you know, in tougher times that's good
because we have you know, people are able to swap stuff,
which is what people tend to do a lot. And
we use AI you know, to match people up with
personality types of you know, and products and if they're
into those interested items. And we're still working with how
(03:52):
to implement it. You know, everybody's implemented to a certain degree,
even in the admin, writing letters and things like that. That's
that's a I too, you know. It's not just the
coding and the bigger things. So yeah, we use it
across the board, and we're implementing it as we you know,
as we find places for it to sit.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
All right, very good, love your insight. Thank you, Daniel,
I appreciate you once again. The CEO of a app
