In this episode of Telaid Tech Connect, host Beth Bergmann has a conversation with Susan Sly, co-founder of Radius AI, about human-centric AI and the future for AI in retail. They explore use cases for AI as well as what the technology looks like today versus what it may look like in the future.   IN THIS EPISODE:    [2:57] What is AI and what isn't it? [6:39] What is human-centric AI?   [12:45] What does the art of AI mean to Radius AI and to the industry?  [16:23] What is the potential for sentient AI in the future?  [17:50] How are the savviest retailers who are deploying AI looking at the big picture? What differentiates the first movers in the industry? [24:14] What do the next few years have in store for AI in retail?    KEY TAKEAWAYS:    There are three key types of AI right now: Text AI – Can process documentation faster than humans Language AI – Can process auditory language like Siri or Alexa Computer vision – Can process visual data, able to filter video and point humans to the relevant portions Human-centric AI is AI that is designed to empower humans. Some things people do better than AI, for example, understanding the context for why someone might be on the ground. AI does a better job of flagging the fact that someone is now on the ground. AI and humans working together experience optimal results.  Sentient AI can “think for itself.” However, that AI has to receive training from somewhere. Many of the beneficial applications for sentient AI coming in the near future may be companion care, whether for pets or the elderly. An AI-based companion may be able to provide early diagnosis of a parent with Alzheimer's, for example.  A recent study indicated that 54% of AI pilots go to production, up from 8% in recent years. Retailers can increase that number by aligning with qualified partners who have vetted providers and who can help them pilot projects prior to large scale rollout.  AI enablement for customer experience may include something like customers opting into facial recognition so when they show up in a store to shop, an associate can bring them their favorite beverage or they can receive a notification that there are new items from their favorite brand in store and here's a map to locate those items. The retailers who experiment early and pioneer new use cases are going to be the winners.    LINKS MENTIONED    Radius AI   LinkedIn – Susan Sly   BIO:    Susan Sly is a tech investor, co-founder, best-selling author, keynote speaker, entrepreneur and podcast host of Raw and Real Entrepreneurship.

CoreNet Global's the SOURCE magazine, October 2022 Workplace planning requires accurate and timely information. Then why do so many companies have an incomplete picture of their real estate portfolio? In this article, HOK's On-Site Space Management team offers guidance to help companies improve their real estate data and develop clear insights. Written By: William Mitchell Narrated By: Gayle Crew

CoreNet Global's the SOURCE magazine, September 2022 Written By: Barry Wood Narrated By: Gayle Crew For facility owners and operators, planning is the critical first step in preparing for an emergency. Whether it's a severe-weather situation (hurricane, tornado, etc.), earthquake, or human threat such as an active shooter, a strong and proven plan of action is vital to keep everyone safe and protect the asset. While the planning will vary depending upon property type (office, retail, industrial, or medical facility) and location (city, suburbs, or rural area), it is critical to have a plan that is site-specific. Generic plans cannot possibly anticipate all the potential scenarios at the property.

CoreNet Global's the SOURCE magazine, September 2022 Everyone has likely heard of the trend to consolidate office space by implementing various strategies such as desk sharing and free-address employee workstations for hybrid work schedules or smaller touchdown stations for remote workers. Many people have likely even experienced some of these strategies in their own space or in other office environments they have encountered. Some companies will be able to provide data that support these strategies based on tangible outcomes, such as reduced overall expenses or higher staff satisfaction. However, no one can be certain whether or not these are long-term strategies, and whether they will create the need for less overall square footage for office space in the future.

CoreNet Global's the SOURCE magazine, September 2022 The benefits companies offer play a key role in attracting employees and retaining them. Workplace wellness has grown in importance to both employees and employers in recent years, and such programs will continue to evolve – in part as a response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the Great Resignation. Written By: James Harold Webb Narrated By: Gayle Crew

CoreNet Global's The SOURCE Magazine, September 2022 Authors: Kim Jensen and Ben Webne Narrated By: Gayle Crew In both our personal and professional lives, our relationship with food has evolved. We are now more aware of the correlations between our diets and the impact they have on our long-term physical wellness. If the last two years have taught us anything, it is the importance of slowing down and enjoying one another's company. In that regard, the communal food experience can positively impact our mental well-being as well.

Hybrid working is forcing organizations to reevaluate their real estate footprints. At the same time, corporate real estate (CRE) professionals are juggling a multitude of issues, including technology and automation, supply chain reorganization, DEI, sustainability, and climate risk, that are adding new dimensions to discussions on portfolio strategy. CRE professionals agree that there is widespread rightsizing of portfolios occurring which is resulting in space reduction, the shedding of excess or inefficient space to cut costs, as well as ongoing efforts to reposition existing space so that it is more functional and valuable in attracting and retaining talent. However, what used to be a straightforward exercise of analyzing space needs around occupancy has shifted. How are CRE professionals wading through this new landscape and optimizing their portfolios to best suit both their business's and employees' needs? Tune in to CoreNet Global's insightful panel discussion as we discuss the role of CRE professionals in this rapidly evolving field.

CoreNet Global's the SOURCE magazine, August 2022 The Source recently spoke with Scott Weiskopf, director of the Global Workplace Services Center of Innovation at Microsoft. He's here to talk with us about the new and innovative corporate real estate (CRE) technologies and tools enabling today's hybrid workplace. Interviewed: Scott Weiskopf Narrated by: Gayle Crew

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is having a transformative effect on how companies operate, and corporate real estate (CRE) professionals have an opportunity to play both a tactical and strategic role in helping the C-Suite develop, execute, and benchmark ESG strategies. What is the role of the CRE professional in this new landscape, and where can CRE teams add value for their organizations in the rapidly evolving world of ESG?

CoreNet Global's the SOURCE magazine, July 2022 Written by: Sanjay Rishi What is the value of the workplace today? While hybrid work is the most popular way of working among employees, particularly among office workers, more individuals are returning to the workplace on a regular basis, at least once per week. Once there, they are increasingly expecting design and programming that drive culture, collaboration, creativity and community – the four Cs of value.
