Check out this insightful interview with Fuse Classroom's Manager of AI development, Mr. Rakesh Katuwal where we discuss what it's like to build AI models and integrate them into LMS platforms, and what daily challenges he and his team face while testing these models.

Labor shortages have been a topic of conversation and concern as we continue to reel from the economic disruption of the pandemic and small business struggle to bounce back. Paired with this, an increase in customer demand for fast service makes it hard to keep up. Fast food restaurants will leverage AI to meet demands despite the labor shortages afflicting them. AI will automate order taking, NLP and recommendation systems will speed drive through times and improve recommendations. In large supermarkets and big box stores, retailers will use intelligent video analytics and computer vision to create autonomous, self-checkout systems and cashier-less shopping.

In our third episode, we chat with Igor Joblokov, CEO & Founder of Pryon, an AI company that delivers knowledge management platforms to enterprises and Sameer Maskey, our CEO & Founder. We discuss democratizing AI through access to AI education and career opportunities, current STEM education challenges and the role of emerging AI trends in the overall advancement of technology.

AI solutions & services provider empowering everyone to leverage AI by running schools in underserved communities and connecting talent with job opportunities.

As we all know, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is taking the HR industry by storm – impacting job descriptions and redefining how HR and talent management professionals work. For instance, not only does AI speed up the sorting and filtering process for HR professionals by helping them scan resumes, but now, AI technology is humanizing the process by giving recruiters more time to talk to strong candidates. Additionally, recruiters are no longer separated by time and distance from candidates because chatbots can now answer simple questions across all time zones, resulting in more efficiency for HR professionals and faster responses for prospective candidates. With this in mind, we had the chance to speak with Anish Joshi, VP of Technology at Fusemachines, about how organizations today are using AI technology to optimize the HR screening process and his thoughts about this new "digital HR" era. AJ: Hours of manual and administrative work are put into recruiting the right candidates for organizations.

Nearly every industry is using artificial intelligence in one way or another to improve business outcomes. AI holds great promise as new and exciting applications are discovered, but there is a catch. There aren't enough trained AI engineers capable of carrying out the work. Karen Roby talks with Sameer Maskey, a professor of AI at Columbia University and founder of Fusemachines, about the shortage and what can be done. The following is an edited transcript of the interview.
