The Closing Bulletin Joe Baguley - VMware's Joe Baguley on AI in the workplace

Following consumer adoption and changing attitudes, purpose-built smart assistants like Alexa for Business are paving the way for AI at work. Smart assistants naturally complement intelligent smartphone apps, such as Edison, formerly EasilyDo. Using predictive analytics and deep learning, these smart apps extract meaningful, actionable data in real-time. For example, Edison proactively notifies you when it's time to leave based on traffic patterns and meeting start times. While these apps classify as consumer offerings, it's easy to understand why employees want these tools at work.
