Insights from Ramy Nassar

Watch our full conversation here: How AI Technology is Shaping Our Tomorrow

"The biggest mistake I see is when we look at the capabilities of today and assume those to be the capabilities of tomorrow."

- Ramy Nassar

"We don't want everything to sound robotic, to sound like it was generated by a piece of software, by an algorithm."

- Ramy Nassar

"The person who knows how to ask the question's more likely to get promoted than the person who knows the answer to the question."

- Ramy Nassar

"Just because it's not possible today, how do we set ourselves up for success when that is available to us? That mindset shift is a leadership shift, that's a cultural shift."

- Ramy Nassar

"Creativity, curiosity, critical thinking, those are the skills of tomorrow... It's curiosity, it's skepticism, it's creativity. Those are the future-proof skills."

- Ramy Nassar

"We'll miss the diamond in the rough. These tools do not predict, or they do not tell you what is correct. They tell you what is most likely one word at a time.
