Hercules builds high-quality, enterprise-grade AI solutions based on data extraction, transformation, and verification, while integrating with enterprise systems and tools for maintenance and monitoring. Join NFX general partner James Currier and HerculesAI CEO Alex Babin talk about the latest breakthroughs in the AI space of enterprise companies.

In this enlightening episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Alex Babin, CEO of ZERO Systems, a company at the forefront of AI innovation, working with Fortune 500 companies and recently recognized as a "Cool Vendor" by Gartner. Starting with debunking some of the most common misconceptions about AI, Alex explains that it's not an 'out-of-the-box' solution, nor a tool that flawlessly executes tasks with just any data. The path to AI effectiveness begins with understanding one's data and the company's ROI, taking a step-by-step approach. This episode dives deep into the evolution of AI, shedding light on the new layer of metric data - user-generated data or feedback loop - which is revolutionizing the way AI tools interact and learn. Listen to Alex as he illustrates how AI can be a bridging mechanism to connect ontologies, and how this can be leveraged by Fortune 1000 companies for more efficient data utilization. A core theme of our discussion is the lack of enterprise-scale AI solutions and the current trend of piecing together fragmented applications. As we navigate these challenges, Alex introduces us to the concept of skilled AI models (SAMs), a potential roadmap to achieving comprehensive, end-to-end solutions. As AI is rapidly advancing, an 'arms race' of sorts has been initiated. Alex underscores the urgent need for AI governance and ethical considerations to ensure this powerful tool doesn't spiral out of control. Join us in this riveting conversation as we explore the landscape of AI, its potential, its challenges, and the future it's carving out for enterprises across the globe.

This is the first interview in a two-part AI special! First up, we talk with Daniel Miessler, who has been following the generative AI trend very closely and is one of the most prolific writers and thought leaders on the topic. It's a massively divisive topic with the most successful product ever launched (ChatGPT). Some folks think it's overhyped, some think it's going to replace all the worst parts of the worst jobs, and others think it could be the beginning of the end for humanity. While other interviews on GenAI get deep into conversations on the future of humanity, we're going to stay closer to home on this one. It seems clear that GenAI will transform the enterprise more quickly than any other technology trend we've seen. We'll discuss what security needs to do to prepare for this shift, and why security teams should begin exploring GenAI themselves as soon as possible. Generative AI is taking the world by storm.

Today's guest is Alex Babin, Co-Founder and CEO at ZERO Systems. Alex joins Seth Earley and Chris Featherstone to share two of the biggest misconceptions of AI and a  new AI metric data tool. Using AI to track data improves performance. Takeaways:The biggest misconceptions about AI are:AI can work out of the box. ChatGPT shows people what it can do but that doesn't mean that AI can do everything.You can throw data at AI and it will execute your needs perfectly.  AI technology is changing, but it hasn't met this level of expertise yet.A best practice to avoid these misconceptions of AI is to start from the beginning. Figure out your company's ROI and reconstruct all the steps required.There's a new layer of metric data that has never existed before,  user-generated data or a feedback loop. As you interact with a tool a new type of metadata is born. As you feed more data and information to the tool it creates a data flywheel.Ontologies don't always overlap to give a full understanding. AI can be a stitching mechanism to join two ontologies that should be communicating. You can use AI to Alex explains how the two ontologies aren't connected. Fortune1000 companies can use AI to use data more effectively. Organizations need end-to-end solutions. An enterprise-scale solution doesn't exist right now. They're using fragmented solutions and piecing it together.Interconnecting data and compartmentalizing it can lead to end-to-end solutions, skilled AI models (SAMs).  AI is an arms race right now. The focus is on making things bigger, faster, and more powerful. Without governance it can be dangerous. We need to collectively figure it out. Quote of the Show:“Throwing ChatGPT on top of your problems will not solve it.” (04:51)Links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexbabin/ Website: https://zerosystems.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/zeromailapp?lang=en Ways to Tune In:Earley AI Podcast: https://www.earley.com/earley-ai-podcast-home Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1586654770 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5nkcZvVYjHHj6wtBABqLbE?si=73cd5d5fc89f4781 iHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-earley-ai-podcast-87108370/ Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/earley-ai-podcast Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/18524b67-09cf-433f-82db-07b6213ad3ba/earley-ai-podcast Buzzsprout: https://earleyai.buzzsprout.com/ Thanks to our sponsors: Marketing AI Institute CMSWire Earley Information Science AI Powered Enterprise Book

Welcome to the Use Case Podcast, episode 235. Today we'll be talking to Alex from ZERO about the use case or business case for why his customers choose ZERO.

After two years, it was great to feature an array of perspectives on legal technology during Legalweek 2022. Thanks to Alex Babin, Darin Bartik, Haresh Bhungalia, Dean Brown, Lydia Flocchini, Tim Follett, Ned Gannon, Laura Keily, Rakesh Madhava, Joshua Schnoll, Jason Smith, Ari Treuhaft, Laurence Winters, and Laura Wooster for sharing their views on the day before the conference began.

I spoke with Alex Babin, the CEO of ZERO, a company that provides productivity automation software for law firms. We discussed why law firms are leveraging productivity automation technology, the tasks for which legal professionals should apply artificial intelligence, the company's $12 million Series A investment round, and how the appeal of automation will evolve.

Alex Babin, CEO at Zero, says that the beautiful part about automating processes is to make the machines work the way the lawyers work so that you get a Return on Invest starting the very first day. For many of us, Alex brings up what we might think as the Holy Grail of implementing change in a law firm, and that is to allow the attorneys to continue working the same way and have the technology do the administrative tasks in the background. With little to no interaction from the attorneys. He says that the best product is the product that doesn't have to be implemented. The best software is no software so that you don't have to teach them how to use it. Babin's product Zero for email compliance, along with the new mobile time capture Apollo is designed to reduce the time spent on these non-billable, administrative tasks for lawyers. Information Inspirations Brittany Luce and Eric Eddings have returned to their podcasting roots after finally leaving The Nod and the mess at Gimlet Media, and their video version of The Nod after the collapse of Quibi. After seven years, they resurrected their original podcast, For Colored Nerds (FCN) on Stitcher/SiriusXM where they discuss Black culture from their own nerdy perspective. Brittany and Eric are great and vulnerable storytellers and their return to FCN, as more mature adults, is a great place to tell and listen to their stories. Sometimes hardcoding tech gets better results than what you might find with AI, machine learning, or neural networks. BRAIN was developed in the 1980s and is still around today using the idea of "weaving" to identify objects like pastries. The accuracy of this established technology is very good and shows that not all shiny new things are better than the tried and established processes. The New Yorker has a great article on the use of BRAIN. Contact Us Twitter: @gebauerm or @glambert. Voicemail: 713-487-7270 Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.com.
