A chatbot is an Artificial Intelligence program that chats with you. The 1960s saw the first chatbot. It was called ELIZA and was developed by MIT professor Joseph Weizenbaum. Six decades later, we have ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot joining the likes of Alexa and Siri.While chatbots use pattern matching and natural language processing to interpret user inputs and choose the right responses from a set of pre-programmed options, AI agents engage in more complex, multi-step interactions that may span different platforms or services. AI agents take the next step from chatbots moving the needle of engagement between human and machines.In this PodChats for FutureCIO, we are joined by David Irecki, chief technology officer for Asia Pacific and Japan at Boomi to walk us through the realities of AI agents – what you and I need to know, separating hype from reality.1.       Define AI agent as understood by most users in Asia (both tech and non-tech)?2.       What key factors differentiate AI agent hype from reality for organizations?3.       Since you brought it up, how can businesses ensure high data quality for effective AI deployment?4.       Scale out issues have been a recuring topic when RPAs came out and it may be part of the challenge with AI. From your experience, what common pitfalls should organizations avoid when adopting AI agents?5.       One of the promises of AI is improving productivity – at least this is the hope. In what ways can AI agents drive productivity and cost savings in specific industries? Any pitfalls to avoid?6.       How can AI agents enhance customer experiences across different sectors?7.       How can businesses maintain accountability and governance while leveraging AI agents effectively?8.       This 2025, what is your advice for lines of business, finance, IT and security work together to design or architect or transform processes so they can avail of the promise of AI agents without introducing unnecessary risks in the process?

In this solo episode of the Leaders in Medical Billing podcast, I reflect on the insights and lessons learned from the past two years of engaging with industry leaders. As we step into 2024, I aim to provide valuable takeaways for medical billing companies looking to strategize their growth in the coming years. Key Themes from Past Episodes Delegation: A recurring topic has been the challenge of delegation. I shared my personal experience with Dan Sullivan's unique ability exercise, which helps identify tasks to delegate, allowing business owners to focus on their strengths. Decreasing Reimbursements: Many guests discussed the use of offshore labor to manage payroll expenses and the balance between onshore and offshore teams. Innovative Pricing Models: Robert Kowalik's approach to variable pricing based on claim processing time was highlighted as a creative solution to decreasing margins. Employee Growth: The importance of providing growth paths for billing staff was emphasized by guests like Gary Siano and Emily Ostek. Impact of Private Equity: The influx of private equity in healthcare and its implications were discussed, along with strategies for sales growth and acquisitions. Compliance and Transparency: Mark Haskelson spoke on compliance, and the challenges of price transparency and the No Surprises Act were addressed. Government Engagement: Andrew Graham and Matt Tamez shared their experiences with lobbying and advocating for change at the state level. Front Desk Efficiency: Robin Goldberg's strategies for addressing billing issues at the front desk were explored. Technology and Automation: The role of AI, RPAs, and machine learning in the future of medical billing was a significant focus, with the emphasis on the need for clean data. Personal Advice and Future Plans Customer Engagement: I advise engaging with clients to understand their concerns, opportunities, and strengths. This understanding can lead to creating more value and avoiding commoditization. Education and Networking: Staying informed through industry conferences, publications, and other resources is crucial for success. Upcoming Guests: We look forward to featuring guests who are not only identifying problems but also offering solutions and success stories. This episode is sponsored by 4D Global.

The Cognitive Crucible is a forum that presents different perspectives and emerging thought leadership related to the information environment. The opinions expressed by guests are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of or endorsement by the Information Professionals Association. During this episode, Wing Commander Shane Rutherford discusses his Joint Forces Staff College, Joint Advanced Warfighting School (JAWS) thesis entitled: Back to the Future: Political Paralysis Cost Britain America, What Will it Cost the United States? His thesis received the Paul Cerjan distinguished writing award from the National Defense University. The year is 1763 and despite presiding over a vast commercial and political empire, Britain's. parliament has failed to embrace the buds of what will eventually become understood as collective responsibility. Instead, the British government is characterized by paralysis and polarization. Worse, the government has been exposed by separate internal factions that are infatuated with economic speculation, personal power, wealth, status, and estate. Consequently, the common ground could only be found in a common enemy, leading to strategic mistakes, such as the mistreatment of allies and partners that would prove catastrophic at Yorktown some two decades later. The Colonies are mistaken as a periphery issue, debated infrequently in the Houses of Parliament, and in 1765, it elects to pass a taxation law without deliberation, known as the Stamp Duty Act, that lights the tinderbox of rebellion in America. Concurrently struggling with the application of a constitutional monarchy, a deteriorating political situation set the stage for the abuse of executive power. The conditions were set for catastrophic strategic failure.

Fotografēšana kā sevis izzināšana – to var teikt par laikmetīgā teātra režisores Elīnas Cērpas multimediju izstādi „Jūtīgā virsma”. Vispirms Nīderlandē tika veidota dokumentāla teātra izrāde, tagad, pēc 11 gadiem - vizuālās mākslas projekts. Izstāde Rīgā tapusi sadarbībā ar pieciem dalībniekiem, kas atsaucās aicinājumam dalīties ar saviem ļoti personiskiem attēliem. Izstādes atklāšana ISSP Galerijā piektdien, 24. martā, tās iekārtošanas brīdi vēroja un ar tās veidotājiem tikās Laima Slava. Starpdisciplināra multimediju izstāde „Jūtīgā virsma” piesaista garāmgājēju uzmanību ISSP Galerijai, ne tikai skatam atvērtā stikla siena, šoreiz arī skaņa, kas ar vibroskaļruņa palīdzību savij pilsētas trokšņus, garāmgājēju soļus ar ļoti personiskiem attēliem telpā. Projekta autore Elīna Cērpa ir latviešu laikmetīgā teātra režisore, kas 14 gadus dzīvojusi Nīderlandē, bet kopš pērnā gada nogales atgriezusies Latvijā. Vizuālā mākslas projekta „Jūtīgā virsma” pamatā ir dokumentālā teātra izrāde, kas radusies 2011.gadā Nīderlandē, viss aizsācies, kad ilgstoši Elīna fotografējusi pašportretus. Atgriežoties pie Nīderlandē tapušās izrādes „Jūtīgā virsma”, sākums bijis tāds, ka Elīna vairāk nekā gadu katru dienu atkārtoja vienu un to pašu darbību - fotografēja sevi. Tagad pēc vairāk nekā desmit gadiem, māksliniece uzdos to pašu jautājumu - kas rada nepieciešamību fotografēt? Latvijas projektā svarīga loma kuratorei Ivetai  Gabaliņai. Izstādes telpiskie risinājumi top sadarbībā ar mākslinieku Alekseju Beļecki, ar kuru kopā esmu nostājusies  pie galerijas durvīm, skatu raidot uz pretējo sienu, uz kuras veidojas atspulgs. Izstādē īpaša arī gaisma, nebūs neviens tiešs gaismas avots. Skaņa un atspulgi neuzbāzīgi, tomēr pievērš  garāmgājēju uzmanību multimediju izstādei „Jūtīgā virsma”, kurā projekta dalībnieki Gundega Melberga, Gustavs Grasis, Valda Biteniece, Irēna Andrējeva un viens anonīms autors – satiekas vienā telpā un veido savstarpējai sarunai līdzīgu pieredzi caur fotogrāfiju, tekstu un video. Izstāde „Jūtīgā virsma” ISSP Galerijā būs apskatāma līdz 4. maijam.

Our guest today is Charlton Evans, founder and CEO of End State Solutions, a firm focused on certification and airworthiness for drones and other forms of advanced air mobility. Given some of the recent milestones and rumors about drone regulations in the United States, we thought you would appreciate a discussion on the hot topics in FAA drone regulations from a true subject matter expert, whose firm recently helped Matternet receive the industry's first drone type certification. We covered a lot of ground with Charlton, starting with the first unmanned aircraft type certifications in the restricted category in 2013 and ways in which those operations failed to properly address the needs of the oil&gas industry at the time. We then followed regulatory and industry milestones to present day, discovering along the way the remaining challenges and opportunities facing the drone industry.Charlton assigns responsibility to both the FAA and the industry for the state of commercial drone adoption among enterprises. Since 2013, there have been fewer champions within the FAA doing the heavy lift to tackle advanced air mobility and drive integration of drones into the national airspace system – resulting in a natural bureaucratic filter to innovation at the FAA.  At the same time, the industry is still notorious for not coming to the table with fully developed products and concepts of operations. The gap between rigorous safety-centric FAA processes and the spirit of rapid innovation borrowed from the tech world still exists but is definitely closing as both the industry and regulators gain more experience from ongoing projects and initial operations. There is a ton of insights from this deep dive with Charlton, but let us highlight a few: you'll hear what Charlton means by “any change is a change” or “ there is no certification by obvious”, how the FAA needs to get more comfortable with an appropriate assessment of risk, what three things type certification applicants need to bring to the table, how appropriate the durability & reliability type certification process really is, the black hole of 21.17(b) certification, in what ways drones and Light Sport Aircraft are similar, opportunities for innovation, and of course advice for entrepreneurs. As mentioned, Charlton Evans is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of End State Solutions, a firm focused on certification and airworthiness for AAM, drone delivery, HAPS and RPAS. Charlton was a Harrier Pilot and Tactical Air Controller in the Marine Corps and still flies for business and pleasure as a commercial pilot. Charlton has led several successful civil and military drone certifications as well as historic BVLOS flight operations. Recently End State Solutions assisted with the FAA type certification of the Matternet M2 delivery drone. Charlton also led historic linear infrastructure and disaster response flights with the type certified ScanEagle UAS that resulted in the induction of ScanEagle N202SE into the Smithsonian Institute in 2016. Today End State Solutions is considered a trusted advisor by both industry and FAA, engaged across the spectrum of Type, Production, Operational approvals as well as regulatory affairs – building relationships that build trust and products that are trusted through certificationWe hope you'll enjoy the conversation as much as we did!

Episode Summary: In episode 115 of the Aerospace Advantage, Aerospace Chief Conversation: RCAF Commander Lt Gen Kenny, John “Slick” Baum and Lt Gen Dave Deptula, USAF (Ret.) chat with the Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). The RCAF is one of the U.S. Air Force's and Space Force's closest partners. We've repeatedly gone to war together—going all the way back to the dawn of air combat in WWI. And given that we share the same continent, Canada and the U.S. are fundamentally aligned when it comes to the northern tier defense mission, something that is more relevant than ever given adversary activity we are seeing in the Arctic. Canada, as a key NORAD partner, holds a very special place in the U.S. homeland defense mission. This cooperation also extends on orbit, with the RCAF and Space Force closely aligned, especially with a new memorandum of understanding. Learn more about the RCAF as they undergo a major transformation with their capabilities in air and space. This conversation includes specific focus on Canada's acquisition of the F-35, remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS), a new training aircraft, a new aerial tanker, and spacepower initiatives.

Johnson Controls is on a mission to make buildings smarter and to transform the environments in which we live, work, learn and play.In this episode, we're talking with Marc Vandiepenbeeck, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of North American Building Solutions at Johnson Controls. It's a fascinating discussion about the digitization of building controls, smart buildings, smart supply chains, and how digitization is impacting every aspect of the business, including finance.Get ready to take notes. Because we're not just talking about emerging technologies - but how to know when and where to invest in digital solutions, how to focus on value-add for the customer, how to carry these strategies along your entire supply chain, and the value of risk taking in innovation.3 Big Takeaways from this episode:The ultimate goal of digitization is to make a better product for the end user: Like every sector, building controls are being transformed by digitization. But without a clear focus, organizations will be lost in the noise of all the digital technologies and solutions they could invest in. Marc reminds us that digitization (in building solutions) enables JCI to bring multiple systems and products together in one connected smart building, making it easier for the building owner to control their smart solutions.The two biggest drivers of technology in finance: Big Data and RPAs: Big Data enables JCI to bring all their disparate data into one dataset, analyze it and make better business decisions, especially around supply chain and market intelligence. RPAs (robotic process automation) automate many of the low-skill activities in the finance team, enabling humans to do value-added tasks that give them a more fulfilling work experience.A crucial key to success in 2022 is getting smart about your supply chain: We discuss how to use technologies like Big Data to understand your entire supply chain, forecast future demand, and feed those insights all the way back up the value chain. This is especially crucial in sectors like building controls and construction where an organization is managing multiple supply chains at once. Find out why we might be moving away from just-in-time manufacturing and toward a system of smart connected supply chains.ResourcesTo learn more about Johnson Controls, visit: https://www.johnsoncontrols.com/Connect with Johnson Controls on social media:YouTube  |  LinkedIn  |  Facebook  |  Instagram  |  TwitterEpisode page: https://techedpodcast.com/johnsoncontrols/

Wealth management and retirement planning are two important aspects of financial planning. While they are often discussed separately, the convergence of these two industries allows people to take a holistic approach to their finances and create a comprehensive financial plan that helps them achieve their financial goals. In today's episode, Jack talks with Fred Barstein, Founder and CEO of The Retirement Advisor University (TRAU) and The Plan Sponsor University (TPSU). He is also the contributing editor for WealthManagement.com's RPA Edge and Editor in Chief & Founder of 401kTV, a media channel helping mid-size and smaller companies better manage their defined contribution plans. Fred talks with Jack about what he does to serve the DC 401k market, how wealth management and retirement can work together, and how big players in the wealth management industry are now focusing on retirement. Key Takeaways [01:11] - What Fred does to advance the retirement and advice space. [02:52] - How Fred collaborates with institutions to help educate plan sponsors.

[21:18] - How big players in the wealth management industry are now focusing on retirement. [25:52] - How retirement plan advisors are changing their strategies. [29:08] - Fred's three key takeaways. [31:00] - Activities that Fred enjoys doing outside of work. Quotes [03:17] - "We saw that there were a lot of designations and it seems like there's a lot popping up. But the credibility of them, if you can just do it online and take a test, doesn't make you an expert. So, we wanted to have a designation and training that plan sponsors could be sure of or we are confident that this advisor is actually well trained and has the experience." - Fred Barstein [08:24] - "Part of the reason that I work with wealth management is they want a platform.  The DC industry wants to get into and speak to the wealth management industry. They see a huge opportunity in the convergence of wealth, retirement, and benefits." - Fred Barstein [14:40] - "RPAs have a huge advantage over traditional wealth management when it comes to getting access and credibility." - Fred Barstein [26:55] - "DC plans have now become a strategic benefit rather than tactical. Retirement plan advisors have moved from the waiting room with the rest of the salespeople to the boardroom talking strategy." - Fred Barstein Links  Fred Barstein on LinkedIn The Retirement Advisor University The Plan Sponsor University 401kTV 401(k) Real Talk InvestmentNews Wealth Management RPA Edge Podcast UCLA Anderson School of Management SPARK Institute Newport Group Empower Retirement Prudential Financial MassMutual Morgan Stanley VestWell UBS Merrill Lynch Fidelity Investments Vanguard Charles Schwab CapTrust Sageview Capital NFP Edmund Murphy Aaron Schumm Lockton Hightower Advisors Mercer Wealthfront E*trade Connect with our hosts LifeYield Jack Sharry on LinkedIn Jack Sharry on Twitter Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify LinkedIn Twitter Facebook

If you look around your home, it's very likely you have at least one item from the Unilever family of brands lying around. From the soap in your shower to the ice cream bars in your freezer, Unilever delivers everyday products that help people get more out of life. And they rely on data to ensure they're doing so sustainably. Today's guests are Unilever Director of Digital Finance Transformation, Vandana Khanna, and Director of Data and Analytics, Deeksha Singh. On this episode, the two leaders join Cindi to share exactly how they're using data to impact everything from supply chain decisions to employee belonging. They also dive into how they are demystifying data at every level, eliminating manual reporting and data visualization work, and using data and AI to be a more sustainable company. All of this and more in today's episode with Vandana Khanna and Deeksha Singh. Get even more insights from data and analytics leaders like Vandana and Deeksha on The Data Chief.  Key TakeawaysChange starts with inspiration: When an organization is used to manually creating dashboard reports for every business question or visualizing data in Excel, it can be hard to break these habits and change behaviors at scale. The key is inspiring people with the art of the possible. Show users what good looks like and how technology can empower them to be faster and smarter, and the rest will follow.Digital transformation goes hand in hand with opportunity: It's common for business people to run for the hills when they hear the word “transformation.” As a leader, it's important to communicate that there's nothing to fear. There is no transformation without people. You need both to move the needle, and often people's roles become even more important because they're needed to ensure the technology is working as it should.You may never be bias-free, but you can be bias-aware: People and data are inherently biased, but thankfully bias awareness is growing in corporate culture. One of the most effective ways that global brands like Unilever are achieving less bias and more diversity is by bringing more diverse leaders into the fold. These leaders bring new perspectives and context to processes that increase the inclusivity of your product and organization overall. Key QuotesVandana:“So an example would be when we started working on RPAs, we started taking away all the manual reporting. Imagine the width and the breadth of the manual reporting we had! As soon as RPA were put in place we had triggered momentum across the sourcing units with these RPAs. They became the biggest hit because people said, ‘Oh, wow, I'm able to save so much time.'” “Human beings have biases. We cannot eliminate our biases. No matter how we try, we will never be bias-free. We will be bias-aware.” Deeksha:“I also believe that data is one of the key strategic assets for any transformation to happen for any organization for that matter. And it's growing, it's growing in variety in volume in velocity. Any organization will be able to manage the complexity and make sense of this data in a timely manner, which I think will thrive when it comes to digital transformation today and in future.” “Sustainability is at the core, the heart of everything we do. Unilever's purpose is about making sustainable living commonplace, and yes, a large amount of data is being used – in terms of how we enable a reduction in carbon reduction in plastic deforestation and its impact and even sustainable sourcing. So if I were to pick an example, a case in point of sustainable sourcing. We've partnered with a third party who provides us with the cloud services that, along with the satellite data that is available – in terms of monitoring the impact of these ingredients that are being sold from different locations across the globe, coupled with the power of AI. We mix all of this [and] we get very rich geospatial data, which we are using in a lot of decision making when it comes to, where we are sourcing from. So for example, if these ingredients are being sourced from a location, which is impacted by deforestation and has a future impact of deforestation, we can take a quick decision of not sourcing from those locations, from those places where there is deforestation in act.”“I feel that as an organization, what we have also realized is the power of data and digital literacy, which is around raising the floor and bringing people along – in terms of making them literate [and] making them aware of things that are coming their way, rather than just giving them a surprise, blow to their heads to say that we are changing tomorrow.”“Everybody wants change, but nobody wants to change.” MentionsUnstereotype - Unilever's bias awareness and trainingMagnum Ice Cream - Mentioned guest productInvisible Women - Book recommendation BiosVandana KhannaAs a digital transformation Leader and Director of Digital Finance Transformation at Unilever, Vandana has extensive experience in Finance, IT, Supply Chain, and Product Management — delivering analytics, data science, and automation capabilities that help companies thrive.

Hunters have come up with euphemisms to make what they do sound… well, less unpleasant. For example, animals aren't killed, they're “harvested.” Corporate America is now adopting this verbal ploy, for CEOs urgently need to soften the image of their constant hunt for ways to kill jobs. Their urgency is that they're now pushing a huge new surge in cuts – this time targeting college-educated, white-collar professionals. Their weapon is the same sort of neutron bomb they've used to dispatch millions of blue-collar workers: Robots. But robot is a negative term, so it's been replaced with a nondescript acronym: RPAs – “Robotic Process Automation.” These sophisticated automatons are armed with artificial intelligence, enabling them to take over cognitive work that had been the niche of such highly-paid humans as financial analysts, lawyers, engineers, managers, and doctors. More than just an incremental extension of a long, slow automation process, this is a Big Bang. It's presently ripping through the workforce at warp speed and most of America's vulnerable employees have no idea of what's coming. In a survey of corporate executives last year, nearly 80 percent of them had already put some forms of RPA in place, with an additional 16 percent planning to do so within three years. That's 96 percent of corporate employers! McKinsey, the world's biggest corporate strategy consultant, had calculated in 2019 that the thinking robotics would displace 37 million US workers by 2030. Now, seeing the current corporate stampede to impose RPAs on US workplaces, McKinsey has upped its projection to 45 million job losses in this decade. Returning to the hunting analogy, professional jobs requiring human-level judgement have been presumed to be beyond the range of robotic firepower. But, as one labor economists now notes, with the mass deployment of RPA technology, “that type of work is much more in the kill path.”
