Marcin, who worked in worked in V and C-suite in Global Leadership Team in some of the largest corporations inc. ZEISS Group, is brilliant in breaking down the very complex topics and give actionable insights. We’ve had a great chat and recorded so far the longest episode on AYH. In this episode, Marcin Bauza shared insights on innovation, AI, and problem-solving in manufacturing and technology. He emphasised the importance of modularity and flexibility in technological solutions, contrasting this with traditional monolithic approaches. Marcin discussed how AI can complement human skills rather than replace them, and highlighted the need to distinguish between AI hype and genuine innovation. He stressed the importance of empowering teams, learning from failures, and maintaining a forward-thinking approach to stay competitive.
Marcin also shared his current work on closing the loop in manufacturing processes, potentially revolutionising the industry. Throughout the conversation, he emphasised the value of collaboration, smart work over hard work, and the need for businesses to adapt to changing technologies and market demands. His experiences provide valuable lessons for leaders and innovators in navigating the challenges of technological advancement and corporate innovation.
Enjoy the listen!

don’t want to miss it so let’s dive in
55
00:02:57,560 –> 00:03:04,920
Martin it’s not so a long time ago that
56
00:03:01,200 –> 00:03:07,319
I’ve seen you I don’t know about you but
57
00:03:04,920 –> 00:03:10,760
you know since you and I uh we are both
58
00:03:07,319 –> 00:03:14,360
polish I still have after so many years
59
00:03:10,760 –> 00:03:16,239
I still have those this weird feeling
60
00:03:14,360 –> 00:03:18,519
when I speak someone with someone who is
61
00:03:16,239 –> 00:03:22,319
Polish uh in English do you have the
62
00:03:18,519 –> 00:03:25,080
same thing um yeah it’s I have this
63
00:03:22,319 –> 00:03:27,959
switch in my head so at home I speak
64
00:03:25,080 –> 00:03:32,319
Polish my wife speaks Polish my kids
65
00:03:27,959 –> 00:03:34,040
they uh they bage well and um but I
66
00:03:32,319 –> 00:03:37,959
automatically starts when I’m in
67
00:03:34,040 –> 00:03:41,000
business I speak English and um what is
68
00:03:37,959 –> 00:03:43,560
strange for me when I need to explain
69
00:03:41,000 –> 00:03:47,959
things in business wise business-wise in
70
00:03:43,560 –> 00:03:51,879
Polish that’s not something that that is
71
00:03:47,959 –> 00:03:54,159
um normal it’s so automatic at home I’m
72
00:03:51,879 –> 00:03:56,840
automatically polish outside I’m
73
00:03:54,159 –> 00:03:59,079
automatically English and uh however
74
00:03:56,840 –> 00:04:00,360
like you like you said when we uh when
75
00:03:59,079 –> 00:04:04,040
we speak
76
00:04:00,360 –> 00:04:07,400
uh in person uh we speak Polish but um
77
00:04:04,040 –> 00:04:10,680
English is is perfectly fine yeah it’s
78
00:04:07,400 –> 00:04:13,720
International but also um so many
79
00:04:10,680 –> 00:04:15,720
Concepts so many things are easier and
80
00:04:13,720 –> 00:04:18,759
faster to explain in
81
00:04:15,720 –> 00:04:23,360
English uh I think so um what I also
82
00:04:18,759 –> 00:04:26,040
found that a lot of my technical F uh
83
00:04:23,360 –> 00:04:30,080
vocabulary um I acquired when I was in
84
00:04:26,040 –> 00:04:32,360
the US and I often search for polish
85
00:04:30,080 –> 00:04:36,160
word if I want to explain something in
86
00:04:32,360 –> 00:04:38,759
Polish um which is a technical nature it
87
00:04:36,160 –> 00:04:40,840
feels like oh he forgot his language no
88
00:04:38,759 –> 00:04:44,720
I did not forgot I’ve never learned that
89
00:04:40,840 –> 00:04:46,400
word because it’s so specialized and uh
90
00:04:44,720 –> 00:04:50,520
and this is um this is something
91
00:04:46,400 –> 00:04:53,800
interesting especially that I have not
92
00:04:50,520 –> 00:04:57,680
started learning English until I was 23
93
00:04:53,800 –> 00:05:00,039
oh really it to so for for people who
94
00:04:57,680 –> 00:05:03,320
don’t know you would be great to
95
00:05:00,039 –> 00:05:05,280
understand your transition your journey
96
00:05:03,320 –> 00:05:09,199
uh you were raised in Poland and then
97
00:05:05,280 –> 00:05:13,639
you moved to us and you ended up working
98
00:05:09,199 –> 00:05:18,240
in quite um high level senior uh roles
99
00:05:13,639 –> 00:05:21,600
um in quite technical uh background so
100
00:05:18,240 –> 00:05:23,680
maybe just give us a little bit of um
101
00:05:21,600 –> 00:05:27,000
you know history of your of your
102
00:05:23,680 –> 00:05:30,280
professional and personal if you wish uh
103
00:05:27,000 –> 00:05:33,880
Journey uh sure uh I was born still
104
00:05:30,280 –> 00:05:36,560
behind the Iron Curtain um and that was
105
00:05:33,880 –> 00:05:41,720
that was a time and um to be frankly
106
00:05:36,560 –> 00:05:46,080
honest I’ve never imagined myself as
107
00:05:41,720 –> 00:05:48,680
um leaving abroad a speaking for
108
00:05:46,080 –> 00:05:51,680
language um I started learning Russian
109
00:05:48,680 –> 00:05:54,560
and then German but I’ve never spoken
110
00:05:51,680 –> 00:05:59,400
those languages it was always very
111
00:05:54,560 –> 00:06:01,960
painful um and then when I studied that
112
00:05:59,400 –> 00:06:06,240
post University of Technology I had a
113
00:06:01,960 –> 00:06:08,960
professor who um I really I seen that he
114
00:06:06,240 –> 00:06:12,919
can speak English he can um he was
115
00:06:08,960 –> 00:06:16,360
always talking about U International um
116
00:06:12,919 –> 00:06:19,560
research and um I realized okay if I
117
00:06:16,360 –> 00:06:23,280
would like to do more than a master
118
00:06:19,560 –> 00:06:26,319
degree if I would like to um do a a
119
00:06:23,280 –> 00:06:29,599
research I need to know English so that
120
00:06:26,319 –> 00:06:32,479
was a motivator um I started studying
121
00:06:29,599 –> 00:06:34,199
English and um one of the things there
122
00:06:32,479 –> 00:06:36,960
was um a
123
00:06:34,199 –> 00:06:41,479
breakthrough um in one of the Summers
124
00:06:36,960 –> 00:06:45,160
right when I started um a group from us
125
00:06:41,479 –> 00:06:47,520
uh came called bridges for education and
126
00:06:45,160 –> 00:06:50,720
they they stayed with us for three weeks
127
00:06:47,520 –> 00:06:53,599
and the purpose was to teach us English
128
00:06:50,720 –> 00:06:55,919
and amazingly after three weeks I was
129
00:06:53,599 –> 00:06:58,800
able to make some level of communication
130
00:06:55,919 –> 00:07:00,759
it was very broken was it after or
131
00:06:58,800 –> 00:07:03,360
before or like without
132
00:07:00,759 –> 00:07:07,280
vodka no no no it was no there was no
133
00:07:03,360 –> 00:07:11,080
vodka actually in in this process okay
134
00:07:07,280 –> 00:07:14,840
it’s which which is very no no it was it
135
00:07:11,080 –> 00:07:18,520
was very it was very uh very nice and
136
00:07:14,840 –> 00:07:21,280
and I have to say that I was impressed
137
00:07:18,520 –> 00:07:24,199
that I can communicate with someone with
138
00:07:21,280 –> 00:07:27,680
different language this is amazing I’ve
139
00:07:24,199 –> 00:07:30,000
never thought that I could ever do this
140
00:07:27,680 –> 00:07:33,039
and this was only 3 weeks but I spent a
141
00:07:30,000 –> 00:07:35,560
lot of time with them and that motivated
142
00:07:33,039 –> 00:07:37,520
me okay let’s let’s take some more
143
00:07:35,560 –> 00:07:40,000
classes let’s spend
144
00:07:37,520 –> 00:07:43,199
time three years
145
00:07:40,000 –> 00:07:46,080
later I was doing my PhD in the
146
00:07:43,199 –> 00:07:48,360
US why did you choose why did you choose
147
00:07:46,080 –> 00:07:51,560
uh us and not Britain which was which is
148
00:07:48,360 –> 00:07:54,479
closer home closer to home it’s a pure
149
00:07:51,560 –> 00:07:56,759
coincidence um I was studying a
150
00:07:54,479 –> 00:08:00,360
Metrology which is a science of
151
00:07:56,759 –> 00:08:03,039
measurement and um one of the professors
152
00:08:00,360 –> 00:08:05,479
had he was on a bigger conference and
153
00:08:03,039 –> 00:08:08,440
and someone from us was a center for
154
00:08:05,479 –> 00:08:11,919
Precision Metrology at UNC Charlotte was
155
00:08:08,440 –> 00:08:14,840
there uh Professor J Raja and he he was
156
00:08:11,919 –> 00:08:17,639
looking for students uh to join the
157
00:08:14,840 –> 00:08:21,280
program and um he asked him do you have
158
00:08:17,639 –> 00:08:24,840
anybody who may be interested and I
159
00:08:21,280 –> 00:08:28,319
received that note and uh back then was
160
00:08:24,840 –> 00:08:30,840
um I was okay yeah sure I I can try I
161
00:08:28,319 –> 00:08:33,440
already been I already started my PhD in

163
00:08:33,440 –> 00:08:40,039

00:09:22,839 –> 00:09:28,200
so I went to or so uh it was very
181
00:09:25,760 –> 00:09:31,839
interesting exam with cameras facing you
182
00:09:28,200 –> 00:09:35,320
and and and all the security I passed
183
00:09:31,839 –> 00:09:38,760
the exam and I got invited um to study
184
00:09:35,320 –> 00:09:41,240
abroad and um one of the things that was
185
00:09:38,760 –> 00:09:43,040
still I remember I came only nine days
186
00:09:41,240 –> 00:09:44,959
before September 11th so you’re coming
187
00:09:43,040 –> 00:09:48,360
to us you’re starting this study you’re
188
00:09:44,959 –> 00:09:52,279
finding your place and nine days later a
189
00:09:48,360 –> 00:09:56,200
big catastrophe happens and days it was
190
00:09:52,279 –> 00:10:00,959
n days yes oh wow and uh and this was
191
00:09:56,200 –> 00:10:02,680
this was very um I’ll say uh emotional
192
00:10:00,959 –> 00:10:05,519
um I was wondering should I stay should
193
00:10:02,680 –> 00:10:07,720
I go but um I decided let’s let’s keep
194
00:10:05,519 –> 00:10:11,880
going let’s see what’s going to happen
195
00:10:07,720 –> 00:10:15,360
and um and I started actually I took a
196
00:10:11,880 –> 00:10:19,079
sabatical in Poland just in case if the
197
00:10:15,360 –> 00:10:21,399
US study doesn’t follow very good U um
198
00:10:19,079 –> 00:10:24,640
and in the same in parallel I even had
199
00:10:21,399 –> 00:10:27,640
um um a research Grant from polish
200
00:10:24,640 –> 00:10:31,680
Academia of science uh which I uh which
201
00:10:27,640 –> 00:10:33,640
I finished be being in us um and I was
202
00:10:31,680 –> 00:10:35,800
even invited to continue this but then I
203
00:10:33,640 –> 00:10:38,040
had to make decision uh you go one way
204
00:10:35,800 –> 00:10:41,160
or the other so I stopped the study in
205
00:10:38,040 –> 00:10:43,639
Poland and and focused on the one in the
206
00:10:41,160 –> 00:10:46,680
United States so y
207
00:10:43,639 –> 00:10:50,320
Us in science it’s always viewed as a
208
00:10:46,680 –> 00:10:53,279
place where the biggest breakthroughs
209
00:10:50,320 –> 00:10:56,639
happening or at least most frequently of
210
00:10:53,279 –> 00:10:59,880
course every nation has a a big impact
211
00:10:56,639 –> 00:11:02,639
on the science but us has a very special
212
00:10:59,880 –> 00:11:05,680
way in terms of the resources
213
00:11:02,639 –> 00:11:08,240
capabilities Etc so that’s from
214
00:11:05,680 –> 00:11:10,639
scientific perspective yeah that’s also
215
00:11:08,240 –> 00:11:13,200
but you know there are many more of of
216
00:11:10,639 –> 00:11:16,360
Americans compared to to Poland which is
217
00:11:13,200 –> 00:11:20,360
not even 40 million now um but we are
218
00:11:16,360 –> 00:11:23,880
doing well uh on the at least European
219
00:11:20,360 –> 00:11:27,240
um Arena as a nation and we have lots of
220
00:11:23,880 –> 00:11:29,920
uh great Innovations and lots of lots of
221
00:11:27,240 –> 00:11:32,040
talents which unfortunately as you
222
00:11:29,920 –> 00:11:35,240
probably like that was one of your
223
00:11:32,040 –> 00:11:40,839
decisions uh why you left it’s not
224
00:11:35,240 –> 00:11:44,560
properly funded uh and not properly um
225
00:11:40,839 –> 00:11:49,000
mentored yeah so um one of the things
226
00:11:44,560 –> 00:11:52,959
that um us is doing very well is
227
00:11:49,000 –> 00:11:56,279
the reduction to practice if I can put
228
00:11:52,959 –> 00:12:00,079
it this way the Academia Academia Works
229
00:11:56,279 –> 00:12:03,800
closely with industry when you are P
230
00:12:00,079 –> 00:12:06,800
student most likely you will have a
231
00:12:03,800 –> 00:12:10,600
project that is sponsored by the
232
00:12:06,800 –> 00:12:13,480
industry so whatever you’re working on
233
00:12:10,600 –> 00:12:16,240
it’s in general the intent that this
234
00:12:13,480 –> 00:12:18,600
becomes practical at some point
235
00:12:16,240 –> 00:12:20,959
commercialized at some point by the
236
00:12:18,600 –> 00:12:22,160
industry and this makes a quite a
237
00:12:20,959 –> 00:12:26,040
difference
238
00:12:22,160 –> 00:12:28,399
versus um in Poland in general in Europe
239
00:12:26,040 –> 00:12:31,160
I I’m not sure the other countries but
240
00:12:28,399 –> 00:12:33,920
in Poland for sure um you have a lot of
241
00:12:31,160 –> 00:12:36,279
science for science unfortunately there
242
00:12:33,920 –> 00:12:39,959
is no strong industry that can support
243
00:12:36,279 –> 00:12:42,920
this that’s part of the problem and you
244
00:12:39,959 –> 00:12:45,279
need this you need this um cooperation
245
00:12:42,920 –> 00:12:46,959
industry understands in the US that if
246
00:12:45,279 –> 00:12:49,440
they want to in innovate and move
247
00:12:46,959 –> 00:12:51,680
forward they have to um have those
248
00:12:49,440 –> 00:12:53,839
connections with Academia and vice versa
249
00:12:51,680 –> 00:12:56,600
Academia likes to work with industry
250
00:12:53,839 –> 00:13:00,839
because there is a source of um a
251
00:12:56,600 –> 00:13:04,639
purpose and Novelty at at Etc so this is
252
00:13:00,839 –> 00:13:07,800
a a very good uh combination I believe
253
00:13:04,639 –> 00:13:09,839
that really helped you as well with all
254
00:13:07,800 –> 00:13:12,240
your transitions right like you started
255
00:13:09,839 –> 00:13:14,639
with Academia then you moved into
256
00:13:12,240 –> 00:13:17,480
corporate and right now you are focusing
257
00:13:14,639 –> 00:13:19,920
on entrepreneurship actually right after
258
00:13:17,480 –> 00:13:23,240
Academia I was in entrepreneurship uh
259
00:13:19,920 –> 00:13:27,279
for the seven years um together with a
260
00:13:23,240 –> 00:13:31,399
few of my uh colleagues from study uh we
261
00:13:27,279 –> 00:13:33,320
co-founded a company and um I was uh
262
00:13:31,399 –> 00:13:37,560
there to make the world
263
00:13:33,320 –> 00:13:41,199
better uh creating um um very fine
264
00:13:37,560 –> 00:13:44,839
motion and measurement systems U working
265
00:13:41,199 –> 00:13:48,079
on the GRS from nist National Institute
266
00:13:44,839 –> 00:13:50,839
of sard and Technology um NSF which is
267
00:13:48,079 –> 00:13:55,680
National Science Foundation and during
268
00:13:50,839 –> 00:13:59,959
one of those grants I have um a goal to
269
00:13:55,680 –> 00:14:03,360
meet or to interest one of the primary
270
00:13:59,959 –> 00:14:06,600
providers in Metrology space so I took a
271
00:14:03,360 –> 00:14:11,320
phone and I started calling them and um
272
00:14:06,600 –> 00:14:13,759
and that’s how I came across Ze um I I I
273
00:14:11,320 –> 00:14:15,600
still remember a discussion with with
274
00:14:13,759 –> 00:14:17,399
one of the leaders over there it was
275
00:14:15,600 –> 00:14:20,680
right around the crisis time it was
276
00:14:17,399 –> 00:14:23,440
around 2008 or so so when everything
277
00:14:20,680 –> 00:14:24,240
tanked down and nobody had any thoughts
278
00:14:23,440 –> 00:14:26,199
for
279
00:14:24,240 –> 00:14:28,120
Investments and I was looking for a
280
00:14:26,199 –> 00:14:29,839
letter of intent like typically this is
281
00:14:28,120 –> 00:14:31,680
done when you try to get a ground you
282
00:14:29,839 –> 00:14:36,480
get those letters of
283
00:14:31,680 –> 00:14:38,720
intent and uh I uh called them and I I
284
00:14:36,480 –> 00:14:41,480
was asking about CMM coordinate
285
00:14:38,720 –> 00:14:45,600
measuring machine that’s a 100,000 plus
286
00:14:41,480 –> 00:14:47,160
uh line item and and I was thinking my
287
00:14:45,600 –> 00:14:48,959
my goal is to get the letter of intent
288
00:14:47,160 –> 00:14:52,440
that if everything goes they will
289
00:14:48,959 –> 00:14:55,360
cooperate with us and he says uh maren I
290
00:14:52,440 –> 00:14:56,959
I can’t get you a a new machine the
291
00:14:55,360 –> 00:14:59,959
moment he said I can’t get you a new
292
00:14:56,959 –> 00:15:02,240
machine my my business business head
293
00:14:59,959 –> 00:15:04,920
turned it on and I said how about used
294
00:15:02,240 –> 00:15:07,399
one I’m I’m I’m good with used one and
295
00:15:04,920 –> 00:15:09,920
he said used one I I may be able to and
296
00:15:07,399 –> 00:15:12,480
I was like I remember shocked because I
297
00:15:09,920 –> 00:15:14,959
finished the call I said wow I think I
298
00:15:12,480 –> 00:15:17,440
got a CMM this is
299
00:15:14,959 –> 00:15:21,800
unbelievable and this is how this
300
00:15:17,440 –> 00:15:24,320
started um with Zeiss uh we have worked
301
00:15:21,800 –> 00:15:27,079
together for about two or three years
302
00:15:24,320 –> 00:15:30,279
the project was lasting and towards the
303
00:15:27,079 –> 00:15:34,079
end of the project it was a natural
304
00:15:30,279 –> 00:15:37,000
um fit um Ze was interested for me to
305
00:15:34,079 –> 00:15:41,319
joining them and I came to the
306
00:15:37,000 –> 00:15:45,199
conclusion that uh at this stage the uh
307
00:15:41,319 –> 00:15:49,800
startup life was not anymore fitting my
308
00:15:45,199 –> 00:15:51,639
needs or my um my interests and um I was
309
00:15:49,800 –> 00:15:54,480
looking for something that has more
310
00:15:51,639 –> 00:15:57,279
projects or more products versus what
311
00:15:54,480 –> 00:16:00,279
we’ve been doing is was more um
312
00:15:57,279 –> 00:16:03,079
services and there was very very um I’ll
313
00:16:00,279 –> 00:16:05,920
say critical uh so it was a smooth
314
00:16:03,079 –> 00:16:09,920
transition Z have created a Innovation
315
00:16:05,920 –> 00:16:11,639
role in us um which was very new because
316
00:16:09,920 –> 00:16:13,240
the entire organization was set as a
317
00:16:11,639 –> 00:16:15,480
sales and service so they’ve been mainly
318
00:16:13,240 –> 00:16:17,560
focused on servicing and selling and
319
00:16:15,480 –> 00:16:20,079
making equipment while all the
320
00:16:17,560 –> 00:16:23,240
Innovation was happening in oberan
321
00:16:20,079 –> 00:16:26,199
Germany so now you think about the you
322
00:16:23,240 –> 00:16:29,920
go against the tide everything is there
323
00:16:26,199 –> 00:16:33,120
you the only one here and that’s how the
324
00:16:29,920 –> 00:16:34,000
journey started okay and so then you
325
00:16:33,120 –> 00:16:38,959
you’ve
326
00:16:34,000 –> 00:16:41,560
done many years of uh corporate and
327
00:16:38,959 –> 00:16:46,839
quite recently you’ve been focusing on
328
00:16:41,560 –> 00:16:49,160
on few um selected projects yeah so I’ve
329
00:16:46,839 –> 00:16:53,560
uh I think it’s a total of 12 Years of
330
00:16:49,160 –> 00:16:55,959
corporate uh work um I I started in
331
00:16:53,560 –> 00:16:59,720
North America then I was globally
332
00:16:55,959 –> 00:17:02,440
responsible um for um various aspects of
333
00:16:59,720 –> 00:17:03,959
technology and um not only technology
334
00:17:02,440 –> 00:17:06,480
but also business I always been
335
00:17:03,959 –> 00:17:08,120
connected on when you create something
336
00:17:06,480 –> 00:17:09,839
new you also need to figure out how to
337
00:17:08,120 –> 00:17:12,959
sell it what is the true value for the
338
00:17:09,839 –> 00:17:15,360
customer ideally you sell it before you
339
00:17:12,959 –> 00:17:17,640
start like you know working on without
340
00:17:15,360 –> 00:17:20,360
putting too much of the resources
341
00:17:17,640 –> 00:17:22,240
usually usually I it was in my group I
342
00:17:20,360 –> 00:17:25,319
used to sold something that did not
343
00:17:22,240 –> 00:17:27,799
exist and then we had to create this
344
00:17:25,319 –> 00:17:30,480
when a customer was interested so uh
345
00:17:27,799 –> 00:17:33,520
there was always a interesting uh
346
00:17:30,480 –> 00:17:36,039
Dynamics and um but that was actually
347
00:17:33,520 –> 00:17:38,520
really propelling forward yes we’ve been
348
00:17:36,039 –> 00:17:41,760
able to achieve things that um have not
349
00:17:38,520 –> 00:17:43,679
been possible if you would um approach
350
00:17:41,760 –> 00:17:45,600
this the classic way hey let’s create
351
00:17:43,679 –> 00:17:49,480
something first when we ready we showed
352
00:17:45,600 –> 00:17:52,480
the world it was just the other way um
353
00:17:49,480 –> 00:17:55,320
right now I’m uh working at
354
00:17:52,480 –> 00:17:58,000
4mp um which is for manufacturing
355
00:17:55,320 –> 00:18:00,799
progress um so I’m coming back to
356
00:17:58,000 –> 00:18:03,200
Manufacturing um after two years break
357
00:18:00,799 –> 00:18:06,960
from manufacturing world I started
358
00:18:03,200 –> 00:18:09,000
having a very different view on the
359
00:18:06,960 –> 00:18:12,400
processes of everything that’s happening
360
00:18:09,000 –> 00:18:15,159
over there and one of the questions that
361
00:18:12,400 –> 00:18:19,760
I started asking myself which I did ask
362
00:18:15,159 –> 00:18:22,120
before as well is why the manufacturing
363
00:18:19,760 –> 00:18:24,559
still is set up the way how it is what
364
00:18:22,120 –> 00:18:27,480
that means is you create a part in a
365
00:18:24,559 –> 00:18:30,400
computer you generate a code you sent
366
00:18:27,480 –> 00:18:34,840
the code to a CNC machine the machine
367
00:18:30,400 –> 00:18:38,080
cuts the part and then you have to
368
00:18:34,840 –> 00:18:40,080
validate this part on a separate machine
369
00:18:38,080 –> 00:18:43,080
and then if everything is okay you keep
370
00:18:40,080 –> 00:18:47,080
going if wrong you start adjusting it’s
371
00:18:43,080 –> 00:18:48,960
a long process and expensive and
372
00:18:47,080 –> 00:18:51,120
expensive yes it requires a lot of
373
00:18:48,960 –> 00:18:53,679
skills it requires a lot of
374
00:18:51,120 –> 00:18:55,360
coordination and why can’t you do that
375
00:18:53,679 –> 00:18:58,080
on a machine and I know this question
376
00:18:55,360 –> 00:19:00,039
been asked many many times and people
377
00:18:58,080 –> 00:19:02,159
have been working on this and there are
378
00:19:00,039 –> 00:19:06,039
some solutions merging coordinate
379
00:19:02,159 –> 00:19:09,760
measuring machines called CMM with the
380
00:19:06,039 –> 00:19:11,880
CNC um which is the um computer
381
00:19:09,760 –> 00:19:17,960
numerically controlled machine which is
382
00:19:11,880 –> 00:19:20,640
the mill or late um or grinder and those
383
00:19:17,960 –> 00:19:23,200
the problem is you can’t really see
384
00:19:20,640 –> 00:19:25,360
geometrical and form errors which are
385
00:19:23,200 –> 00:19:28,480
critical so think about right angles
386
00:19:25,360 –> 00:19:30,360
straightness etc those are not possible
387
00:19:28,480 –> 00:19:33,480
to be measured right on this for I’m not
388
00:19:30,360 –> 00:19:37,480
going to go in the details why and the
389
00:19:33,480 –> 00:19:39,880
solutions that have been there are fly
390
00:19:37,480 –> 00:19:42,360
cumbersome uh expensive because it’s
391
00:19:39,880 –> 00:19:44,799
merging two machines and it’s not really
392
00:19:42,360 –> 00:19:47,039
finding its way in a in a commercial
393
00:19:44,799 –> 00:19:50,600
word the success is if you can enable
394
00:19:47,039 –> 00:19:53,000
Mom and Pop Shop of
395
00:19:50,600 –> 00:19:55,520
providing providing them technology they
396
00:19:53,000 –> 00:20:00,480
can use without really going in depth
397
00:19:55,520 –> 00:20:03,840
how does it work so so the challenge um
398
00:20:00,480 –> 00:20:06,480
um last early fall I started really
399
00:20:03,840 –> 00:20:08,679
looking into this more and more and
400
00:20:06,480 –> 00:20:12,360
there was a moment when I started
401
00:20:08,679 –> 00:20:15,760
realizing wow we could we could do it a
402
00:20:12,360 –> 00:20:19,080
different way and um and I started
403
00:20:15,760 –> 00:20:22,360
really um uh uh pushing through in in in
404
00:20:19,080 –> 00:20:24,760
this direction so that’s I’m I’m very uh
405
00:20:22,360 –> 00:20:27,159
Focus to close it’s called close the
406
00:20:24,760 –> 00:20:28,880
loop so make those feedbacks on the
407
00:20:27,159 –> 00:20:31,760
machine so the machine of the future
408
00:20:28,880 –> 00:20:34,919
will be I can recognize there is a
409
00:20:31,760 –> 00:20:36,760
problem I will self-correct the problem
410
00:20:34,919 –> 00:20:39,840
and I will make a good part every single
411
00:20:36,760 –> 00:20:43,159
time without the need of a human to tell
412
00:20:39,840 –> 00:20:45,880
me what to do this is the Holy Grail for
413
00:20:43,159 –> 00:20:47,919
manufacturing and that’s the direction
414
00:20:45,880 –> 00:20:52,880
where I’m going with the with the
415
00:20:47,919 –> 00:20:54,760
Innovation topic it fits very well since
416
00:20:52,880 –> 00:20:56,320
um you know I don’t know how many years
417
00:20:54,760 –> 00:20:59,120
we know each other already like it’s
418
00:20:56,320 –> 00:21:02,320
it’s been four five I guess maybe
419
00:20:59,120 –> 00:21:05,280
somewhere yeah something around right I
420
00:21:02,320 –> 00:21:09,640
met you when uh you were still uh in
421
00:21:05,280 –> 00:21:13,360
your previous corporate um position and
422
00:21:09,640 –> 00:21:16,279
we started talking about similar um
423
00:21:13,360 –> 00:21:18,600
issues around inefficiencies corporate
424
00:21:16,279 –> 00:21:22,760
inefficiency I was trying to sell you
425
00:21:18,600 –> 00:21:26,039
our solution uh to the to the company
426
00:21:22,760 –> 00:21:29,440
you you were working on um and you
427
00:21:26,039 –> 00:21:33,279
became interested because right now uh
428
00:21:29,440 –> 00:21:36,320
we are um working together let me take a
429
00:21:33,279 –> 00:21:39,679
step back and one of the most important
430
00:21:36,320 –> 00:21:43,200
things in Innovation is to trying to
431
00:21:39,679 –> 00:21:45,559
imagine what the world would look like
432
00:21:43,200 –> 00:21:49,840
some years ahead so let’s take a 10
433
00:21:45,559 –> 00:21:51,440
years and if I give you a an example as
434
00:21:49,840 –> 00:21:55,159
an introduction
435
00:21:51,440 –> 00:21:58,279
here if I would right now we’re talking
436
00:21:55,159 –> 00:22:00,080
through the network we have a video um
437
00:21:58,279 –> 00:22:03,120
let’s say I’ll take a movie today of
438
00:22:00,080 –> 00:22:06,320
this situation we have this video let’s
439
00:22:03,120 –> 00:22:09,679
say I have some smart device in the home
440
00:22:06,320 –> 00:22:12,120
like Alexa I can talk to and uh let’s
441
00:22:09,679 –> 00:22:15,159
add a self-driving car if I would show
442
00:22:12,120 –> 00:22:18,559
you this video of today World which is
443
00:22:15,159 –> 00:22:21,200
normal and I’ll move it back uh maybe
444
00:22:18,559 –> 00:22:24,480
today 15 years you would think it’s a
445
00:22:21,200 –> 00:22:26,679
Hollywood it’s no way this doesn’t exist
446
00:22:24,480 –> 00:22:28,600
and a world have moved significantly
447
00:22:26,679 –> 00:22:31,120
from the moment when a smartphone was
448
00:22:28,600 –> 00:22:32,919
invented we started think completely
449
00:22:31,120 –> 00:22:36,120
differently how to communicate how to do
450
00:22:32,919 –> 00:22:39,320
certain things and so what’s critical in
451
00:22:36,120 –> 00:22:42,200
Innovation is to try to think is this
452
00:22:39,320 –> 00:22:44,200
really how it’s going to be is this
453
00:22:42,200 –> 00:22:45,760
really the 10 years from now what it’s
454
00:22:44,200 –> 00:22:47,720
going to be and and one of the things
455
00:22:45,760 –> 00:22:51,279
that attracted me so I already been
456
00:22:47,720 –> 00:22:54,600
working with AI we been doing uh visual
457
00:22:51,279 –> 00:22:59,320
analysis or or data analysis of of
458
00:22:54,600 –> 00:23:01,840
images and 2D and 3D and we start using
459
00:22:59,320 –> 00:23:04,320
some AI components so I understand the
460
00:23:01,840 –> 00:23:08,360
potential of this technology very well
461
00:23:04,320 –> 00:23:12,880
um and uh when I started through my
462
00:23:08,360 –> 00:23:14,760
corporate career I’ve seen often that um
463
00:23:12,880 –> 00:23:18,799
one of the struggles that corporations
464
00:23:14,760 –> 00:23:23,000
have there is a vast number of data in
465
00:23:18,799 –> 00:23:26,440
organizations but because of the last 20
466
00:23:23,000 –> 00:23:29,000
years each of the subgroup in a an organ
467
00:23:26,440 –> 00:23:33,120
in company would have
468
00:23:29,000 –> 00:23:35,480
own software own platform own little
469
00:23:33,120 –> 00:23:37,640
Digital World some of them faster more
470
00:23:35,480 –> 00:23:40,440
advanced and the others everything is
471
00:23:37,640 –> 00:23:45,159
disconnected everything is somewhere
472
00:23:40,440 –> 00:23:46,679
else and what people doing today is
473
00:23:45,159 –> 00:23:51,279
they’re trying to create now we’re going
474
00:23:46,679 –> 00:23:53,559
to create now big giant uh central place
475
00:23:51,279 –> 00:23:56,880
where we’re going to keep all this data
476
00:23:53,559 –> 00:23:59,159
and this is just unbelievable task
477
00:23:56,880 –> 00:24:02,440
extremely difficult I’ve been seeing or
478
00:23:59,159 –> 00:24:05,000
hearing up close all the problems that
479
00:24:02,440 –> 00:24:07,720
happening with this people don’t have
480
00:24:05,000 –> 00:24:10,360
time they don’t have a even knowledge or
481
00:24:07,720 –> 00:24:13,279
expertise to help those you you hire a
482
00:24:10,360 –> 00:24:16,720
company the company needs collaboration
483
00:24:13,279 –> 00:24:19,640
this is a very painful process and one
484
00:24:16,720 –> 00:24:22,679
of the things that I
485
00:24:19,640 –> 00:24:24,159
really liked about what you brought is a
486
00:24:22,679 –> 00:24:26,559
very different
487
00:24:24,159 –> 00:24:28,880
approach why should we create a big
488
00:24:26,559 –> 00:24:32,240
ocean of data so everybody can put their
489
00:24:28,880 –> 00:24:36,000
fishing rods and and get what they want
490
00:24:32,240 –> 00:24:38,399
why can’t we have a series of ponds a
491
00:24:36,000 –> 00:24:40,760
lot of them and connect them any way we
492
00:24:38,399 –> 00:24:42,240
want do we want information from this
493
00:24:40,760 –> 00:24:44,679
this and this okay I create those
494
00:24:42,240 –> 00:24:48,399
connections and and I leave I leave I
495
00:24:44,679 –> 00:24:50,960
leave those pawns alone and this helps
496
00:24:48,399 –> 00:24:54,960
tremendously from many aspects
497
00:24:50,960 –> 00:24:57,760
maintenance if you have a a big source
498
00:24:54,960 –> 00:24:59,720
of data down the whole company’s down if
499
00:24:57,760 –> 00:25:01,679
I have a multiple sources and one of
500
00:24:59,720 –> 00:25:03,880
them is down it’s only one component
501
00:25:01,679 –> 00:25:07,679
that’s missing so everything else is
502
00:25:03,880 –> 00:25:09,640
working yes if I need to do changing
503
00:25:07,679 –> 00:25:12,120
let’s say I need to make an upgrade I’m
504
00:25:09,640 –> 00:25:14,640
working on a small Lego block so Lego
505
00:25:12,120 –> 00:25:17,480
blocks is a great example here yes you
506
00:25:14,640 –> 00:25:19,880
have those Lego blocks I can reinvent
507
00:25:17,480 –> 00:25:21,000
and restructure those Lego blocks any
508
00:25:19,880 –> 00:25:24,080
way I
509
00:25:21,000 –> 00:25:26,240
like and if I need few extra blocks I
510
00:25:24,080 –> 00:25:28,480
can make them if I don’t need some of
511
00:25:26,240 –> 00:25:30,399
the blocks I take them out but but I
512
00:25:28,480 –> 00:25:34,159
don’t have to worry about all of this
513
00:25:30,399 –> 00:25:37,799
and this is how I think the future have
514
00:25:34,159 –> 00:25:41,360
to look like it is impossible to create
515
00:25:37,799 –> 00:25:43,880
those massive data sets that sits as a
516
00:25:41,360 –> 00:25:47,240
one platform this will be extremely
517
00:25:43,880 –> 00:25:50,159
challenging so the modularity I call it
518
00:25:47,240 –> 00:25:52,760
or um that’s something that I truly
519
00:25:50,159 –> 00:25:56,120
believe it’s it’s it’s the way to go
520
00:25:52,760 –> 00:25:59,039
this is there’s no no other way and
521
00:25:56,120 –> 00:26:01,480
people going to learn that yeah but you
522
00:25:59,039 –> 00:26:05,399
are Forward Thinking you see the
523
00:26:01,480 –> 00:26:08,440
opportunities but from from your
524
00:26:05,399 –> 00:26:12,200
experience I you see this as well
525
00:26:08,440 –> 00:26:15,720
companies or company decision
526
00:26:12,200 –> 00:26:18,080
makers usually don’t care they still
527
00:26:15,720 –> 00:26:21,039
like to work the way they’ve always
528
00:26:18,080 –> 00:26:24,080
worked and there’s so much inefficiency
529
00:26:21,039 –> 00:26:27,919
when you encountered those uh situations
530
00:26:24,080 –> 00:26:33,399
how did you make them change their mind
531
00:26:27,919 –> 00:26:36,760
how did you try to um you know push for
532
00:26:33,399 –> 00:26:39,760
Innovation um this is a uh always a
533
00:26:36,760 –> 00:26:43,279
challenge yes so there’s a two ways of
534
00:26:39,760 –> 00:26:46,720
um of thought in a corporation you can
535
00:26:43,279 –> 00:26:49,039
ask for permission or you can ask for
536
00:26:46,720 –> 00:26:51,039
forgiveness uh sorry I’m the one who
537
00:26:49,039 –> 00:26:54,000
asks for forgiveness I don’t ask for
538
00:26:51,039 –> 00:26:55,520
permission um that gets you in trouble
539
00:26:54,000 –> 00:27:00,360
at times
540
00:26:55,520 –> 00:27:03,720
but from your perspective you see things
541
00:27:00,360 –> 00:27:07,159
different than the top leader obviously
542
00:27:03,720 –> 00:27:10,200
and I had a a great example in my in my
543
00:27:07,159 –> 00:27:14,159
career um we’ve been working on the um
544
00:27:10,200 –> 00:27:17,600
some technology special machines um and
545
00:27:14,159 –> 00:27:19,840
um I knew that the machine that we got
546
00:27:17,600 –> 00:27:23,159
it’s it’s really impractical has a lot
547
00:27:19,840 –> 00:27:25,399
of problems it was designed by Optical
548
00:27:23,159 –> 00:27:27,360
Engineers they didn’t really had in mind
549
00:27:25,399 –> 00:27:29,520
serviceability they didn’t had in mind
550
00:27:27,360 –> 00:27:31,360
how easy can be something changed and
551
00:27:29,520 –> 00:27:33,320
and the fact that you could replicate so
552
00:27:31,360 –> 00:27:37,039
this was really a
553
00:27:33,320 –> 00:27:39,360
prototype and I I I said we we really to
554
00:27:37,039 –> 00:27:42,200
be successful we really need to start
555
00:27:39,360 –> 00:27:44,519
over and and rebuild this this machine
556
00:27:42,200 –> 00:27:45,919
of course in corporation world you have
557
00:27:44,519 –> 00:27:47,640
to have a budget you have to have a
558
00:27:45,919 –> 00:27:52,320
permission you have to have this this
559
00:27:47,640 –> 00:27:55,000
this well unless you um you do it
560
00:27:52,320 –> 00:27:57,760
slightly different um the trick is if
561
00:27:55,000 –> 00:27:58,760
you do your R&D within the same fiscal
562
00:27:57,760 –> 00:28:00,960
year
563
00:27:58,760 –> 00:28:03,799
and you sell what you have created in
564
00:28:00,960 –> 00:28:06,279
the same fiscal year you haven’t created
565
00:28:03,799 –> 00:28:08,840
any harm you actually can bring up
566
00:28:06,279 –> 00:28:12,320
Surplus to the company rather than lost
567
00:28:08,840 –> 00:28:16,039
money so the fiscal year started uh we
568
00:28:12,320 –> 00:28:18,960
started a work um I did not really tell
569
00:28:16,039 –> 00:28:23,159
anybody that we doing this and I showed
570
00:28:18,960 –> 00:28:26,159
my boss um when machine was ready uh I
571
00:28:23,159 –> 00:28:28,880
walked him in um and he almost fainted
572
00:28:26,159 –> 00:28:30,960
away when he seen the machine machine it
573
00:28:28,880 –> 00:28:32,840
was a big machine it was a very nice
574
00:28:30,960 –> 00:28:34,840
looking machine but he was almost
575
00:28:32,840 –> 00:28:38,440
getting a heart attack seeing this like
576
00:28:34,840 –> 00:28:41,519
oh my God this is going to be bad and
577
00:28:38,440 –> 00:28:43,279
the good news was I I just said look um
578
00:28:41,519 –> 00:28:47,240
don’t worry I’m gonna sell it before the
579
00:28:43,279 –> 00:28:50,480
fiscal ends and I did I actually did and
580
00:28:47,240 –> 00:28:53,159
um and the customer I mean the the
581
00:28:50,480 –> 00:28:55,159
corporate um leadership was actually
582
00:28:53,159 –> 00:28:56,720
impressed with the technology and and
583
00:28:55,159 –> 00:29:00,679
they started supporting this but it
584
00:28:56,720 –> 00:29:04,640
requires a bold steps
585
00:29:00,679 –> 00:29:07,840
majority yeah majority R&D is not that
586
00:29:04,640 –> 00:29:09,360
way people are very lenient they just go
587
00:29:07,840 –> 00:29:10,840
okay this is how we’re going to go this
588
00:29:09,360 –> 00:29:14,559
is what we’re going to set up you you
589
00:29:10,840 –> 00:29:15,640
need some of the of the boldness in in
590
00:29:14,559 –> 00:29:19,279
this
591
00:29:15,640 –> 00:29:21,600
process and did you have uh some
592
00:29:19,279 –> 00:29:24,559
something on paper from from the
593
00:29:21,600 –> 00:29:27,519
potential customer whom whom you were
594
00:29:24,559 –> 00:29:30,480
like you sold it after or was it just
595
00:29:27,519 –> 00:29:32,640
theor theoretical that if you deliver
596
00:29:30,480 –> 00:29:35,159
they will get it maybe
597
00:29:32,640 –> 00:29:37,720
not uh I have been working with the
598
00:29:35,159 –> 00:29:40,399
customer but that customer is known for
599
00:29:37,720 –> 00:29:42,840
changing their mind all the time and you
600
00:29:40,399 –> 00:29:44,919
still wanted to go ahead I wanted to go
601
00:29:42,840 –> 00:29:47,640
ahead not because of this customer but
602
00:29:44,919 –> 00:29:49,240
because I knew that to move the forward
603
00:29:47,640 –> 00:29:51,640
with this technology to make this
604
00:29:49,240 –> 00:29:55,080
successful you have to do it and I was
605
00:29:51,640 –> 00:29:58,200
willing to take the risk um I I really
606
00:29:55,080 –> 00:30:00,679
was certain about if I make those Chang
607
00:29:58,200 –> 00:30:04,519
es and we make re redesign this
608
00:30:00,679 –> 00:30:07,399
technology you we will it will work and
609
00:30:04,519 –> 00:30:10,640
why I was so short because I already
610
00:30:07,399 –> 00:30:13,600
worked few years uh in this space and
611
00:30:10,640 –> 00:30:16,279
and I’ve seen what’s the problem uh the
612
00:30:13,600 –> 00:30:19,559
the ever growing problems in in
613
00:30:16,279 –> 00:30:23,440
technology is that the customers um ask
614
00:30:19,559 –> 00:30:26,240
you for often ask you for horses while
615
00:30:23,440 –> 00:30:28,360
you have a car they don’t know to ask
616
00:30:26,240 –> 00:30:30,960
for it you have to think out of the box
617
00:30:28,360 –> 00:30:34,080
to be able to to Really solve their
618
00:30:30,960 –> 00:30:37,000
problem um so but you need to be willing
619
00:30:34,080 –> 00:30:39,880
to take a risks yes some sometimes they
620
00:30:37,000 –> 00:30:42,240
they could be painful but um if you
621
00:30:39,880 –> 00:30:48,120
don’t do this um you’re not moving
622
00:30:42,240 –> 00:30:50,679
forward true um yet you know in in my
623
00:30:48,120 –> 00:30:51,919
perspective working in a in a smaller
624
00:30:50,679 –> 00:30:56,639
company
625
00:30:51,919 –> 00:30:59,919
startup still there’s there is so much
626
00:30:56,639 –> 00:31:03,960
difficulty uh to to start working to get
627
00:30:59,919 –> 00:31:06,240
into corporate uh partnership or any
628
00:31:03,960 –> 00:31:08,840
kind of projects because you know that
629
00:31:06,240 –> 00:31:12,320
there is a saying nobody ever got fired
630
00:31:08,840 –> 00:31:14,720
for hiring IBM um even though if it’s
631
00:31:12,320 –> 00:31:16,120
it’s not working or you know it’s the
632
00:31:14,720 –> 00:31:18,480
the way they are thinking about
633
00:31:16,120 –> 00:31:22,799
approaching the problem is oldfashioned
634
00:31:18,480 –> 00:31:26,639
and there are more efficient um ways A
635
00:31:22,799 –> 00:31:29,760
change is slow uh I agree with you that
636
00:31:26,639 –> 00:31:33,159
the corporations are averse however the
637
00:31:29,760 –> 00:31:37,519
moment when they see that something new
638
00:31:33,159 –> 00:31:40,080
works um they starts moving there um and
639
00:31:37,519 –> 00:31:42,960
uh you know IBM is great companies is uh
640
00:31:40,080 –> 00:31:46,840
no doubt about it but there is a reason
641
00:31:42,960 –> 00:31:51,000
why in us there is a lot of startups
642
00:31:46,840 –> 00:31:53,720
that come from nowhere and suddenly um
643
00:31:51,000 –> 00:31:56,960
they grow pretty fast I mean look a lot
644
00:31:53,720 –> 00:32:01,000
of the very famous companies they they
645
00:31:56,960 –> 00:32:03,840
barely many of them 10 15 20 years old
646
00:32:01,000 –> 00:32:06,559
and they ruling the world um and that’s
647
00:32:03,840 –> 00:32:08,720
the environment um if you solving
648
00:32:06,559 –> 00:32:11,960
somebody’s problem or creating a
649
00:32:08,720 –> 00:32:15,000
solution that is needed or at least
650
00:32:11,960 –> 00:32:18,919
suddenly people like it um the business
651
00:32:15,000 –> 00:32:21,880
starts growing very fast and um and it’s
652
00:32:18,919 –> 00:32:24,480
a it’s a process I I fully agree I mean
653
00:32:21,880 –> 00:32:27,279
part of a reason why maybe there is a
654
00:32:24,480 –> 00:32:28,760
still tendency to go to those large
655
00:32:27,279 –> 00:32:31,919
providers
656
00:32:28,760 –> 00:32:34,880
because the leaderships think from a
657
00:32:31,919 –> 00:32:37,559
massive big platform
658
00:32:34,880 –> 00:32:40,519
perspective if you have a big platform
659
00:32:37,559 –> 00:32:42,679
you need a secure provider but if you
660
00:32:40,519 –> 00:32:45,679
change your mindset it’s like why do I
661
00:32:42,679 –> 00:32:48,360
need a big platform I can have my small
662
00:32:45,679 –> 00:32:50,399
Lego sets and I just starts connecting
663
00:32:48,360 –> 00:32:52,279
them it changes completely their
664
00:32:50,399 –> 00:32:54,000
perspective and the willingness to risk
665
00:32:52,279 –> 00:32:56,519
because I’m not suddenly putting a great
666
00:32:54,000 –> 00:32:58,440
risk yes if I’m just making a
667
00:32:56,519 –> 00:33:03,039
connections between few blocks box or a
668
00:32:58,440 –> 00:33:05,080
few beta pools um it’s it’s um okay if
669
00:33:03,039 –> 00:33:07,519
this doesn’t work first of all I’m not
670
00:33:05,080 –> 00:33:11,039
disrupting what’s there because I’m more
671
00:33:07,519 –> 00:33:12,919
like an a listener mode uh I’m not
672
00:33:11,039 –> 00:33:15,480
changing the functionality of what
673
00:33:12,919 –> 00:33:17,440
exists I’m just building a top of it and
674
00:33:15,480 –> 00:33:20,240
this is something that I think it’s very
675
00:33:17,440 –> 00:33:22,080
critical for for the leaders to
676
00:33:20,240 –> 00:33:25,679
understand trying this type of
677
00:33:22,080 –> 00:33:28,480
Technologies is actually not causing a
678
00:33:25,679 –> 00:33:30,880
ton of risk because there is no
679
00:33:28,480 –> 00:33:32,679
disruption to what you’re doing there is
680
00:33:30,880 –> 00:33:34,440
no moment hey we going to have a power
681
00:33:32,679 –> 00:33:35,799
off or we going to have a data off or we
682
00:33:34,440 –> 00:33:38,600
going to have this oh my God everything
683
00:33:35,799 –> 00:33:43,000
went down that doesn’t work that way
684
00:33:38,600 –> 00:33:46,559
because you on the side yes but one of
685
00:33:43,000 –> 00:33:51,360
the obst not obstacles one of the
686
00:33:46,559 –> 00:33:54,159
excuses um we hear is they don’t have a
687
00:33:51,360 –> 00:33:59,880
Workforce they don’t have enough people
688
00:33:54,159 –> 00:34:01,360
to um to attach to to new project uh so
689
00:33:59,880 –> 00:34:03,039
so they can’t start anything else
690
00:34:01,360 –> 00:34:06,559
because they are overwhelmed with what
691
00:34:03,039 –> 00:34:08,040
what’s already there um how do you how
692
00:34:06,559 –> 00:34:11,240
do you respond to
693
00:34:08,040 –> 00:34:12,720
that this is because that’s what is
694
00:34:11,240 –> 00:34:13,679
expected from them when they work on
695
00:34:12,720 –> 00:34:17,679
those big
696
00:34:13,679 –> 00:34:20,760
platforms to have a army of people that
697
00:34:17,679 –> 00:34:23,159
are available and knowledgeable about
698
00:34:20,760 –> 00:34:25,480
this about what what’s really there in a
699
00:34:23,159 –> 00:34:27,440
company they don’t understand that for
700
00:34:25,480 –> 00:34:32,480
those projects you actually don’t need
701
00:34:27,440 –> 00:34:35,960
all of this is you need those who have a
702
00:34:32,480 –> 00:34:39,079
vision what truly I need to
703
00:34:35,960 –> 00:34:42,040
connect what information I’m always
704
00:34:39,079 –> 00:34:44,879
looking for and spending my time and
705
00:34:42,040 –> 00:34:47,320
trying to find to make my
706
00:34:44,879 –> 00:34:49,679
decisions and I get frustrated I have to
707
00:34:47,320 –> 00:34:52,280
ask 10 people to get this and this and
708
00:34:49,679 –> 00:34:56,000
that and and it takes time they all have
709
00:34:52,280 –> 00:34:58,240
to spend time calculating okay think
710
00:34:56,000 –> 00:35:00,920
different way just take this video
711
00:34:58,240 –> 00:35:03,520
problem that you always try to solve or
712
00:35:00,920 –> 00:35:06,359
every time new quarter comes or this you
713
00:35:03,520 –> 00:35:08,720
want this and just let’s automate this
714
00:35:06,359 –> 00:35:11,880
process let’s make this first step and
715
00:35:08,720 –> 00:35:15,480
do it this way don’t overthink this
716
00:35:11,880 –> 00:35:17,839
don’t try to create new solution from
717
00:35:15,480 –> 00:35:20,680
the ground and then you spending time on
718
00:35:17,839 –> 00:35:23,599
designing every single aspect it takes
719
00:35:20,680 –> 00:35:25,320
forever by the time you done the world
720
00:35:23,599 –> 00:35:28,599
already moved to the new
721
00:35:25,320 –> 00:35:31,240
space Your solution is already outdated
722
00:35:28,599 –> 00:35:34,240
in this case you can take a small
723
00:35:31,240 –> 00:35:36,440
chunk make a say hey we want to make the
724
00:35:34,240 –> 00:35:38,240
connections of this data I want to I
725
00:35:36,440 –> 00:35:39,960
want to get this information and this
726
00:35:38,240 –> 00:35:41,480
will be not only proof of concept it
727
00:35:39,960 –> 00:35:45,440
will be working proof of concept that
728
00:35:41,480 –> 00:35:48,560
you can actually use in immediately
729
00:35:45,440 –> 00:35:50,720
after the process starts this is the
730
00:35:48,560 –> 00:35:52,440
uniqueness in all of this process and
731
00:35:50,720 –> 00:35:54,880
that’s where the companies don’t
732
00:35:52,440 –> 00:35:57,200
understand they think they have a lot of
733
00:35:54,880 –> 00:36:00,520
resources into this but that’s not the
734
00:35:57,200 –> 00:36:03,040
case it’s not as resource hungry as as
735
00:36:00,520 –> 00:36:07,359
the classic projects do you think it’s
736
00:36:03,040 –> 00:36:08,560
due to artificial intelligence and how
737
00:36:07,359 –> 00:36:14,079
you know
738
00:36:08,560 –> 00:36:17,240
the the approach to um to building um
739
00:36:14,079 –> 00:36:20,560
has evolved in the recent years I mean
740
00:36:17,240 –> 00:36:25,800
AI of course helps here but um it’s
741
00:36:20,560 –> 00:36:30,319
always easier to build and control small
742
00:36:25,800 –> 00:36:32,319
blocks it’s much easier to um to make
743
00:36:30,319 –> 00:36:36,599
changes in those small blocks you just
744
00:36:32,319 –> 00:36:38,880
maintain interfaces versus if you have a
745
00:36:36,599 –> 00:36:41,680
big giant construction
746
00:36:38,880 –> 00:36:44,079
place and I’ve used this concept in
747
00:36:41,680 –> 00:36:46,599
building machines I call it Lego blocks
748
00:36:44,079 –> 00:36:49,000
I have the way how we approach this it’s
749
00:36:46,599 –> 00:36:51,800
a very similar uh the way we approach
750
00:36:49,000 –> 00:36:53,880
this is you building machine and visual
751
00:36:51,800 –> 00:36:56,640
inspection you’re very sensitive to a
752
00:36:53,880 –> 00:36:59,119
size of an object so you’re imagining oh
753
00:36:56,640 –> 00:37:01,680
yes this world is is is needs this type
754
00:36:59,119 –> 00:37:03,920
of parts to be inspected what’s going to
755
00:37:01,680 –> 00:37:05,800
happen next the next customer comes in
756
00:37:03,920 –> 00:37:08,319
they get a different part oh gosh it
757
00:37:05,800 –> 00:37:10,160
doesn’t fit to my machine oh my God now
758
00:37:08,319 –> 00:37:13,000
I need to develop new one this is never-
759
00:37:10,160 –> 00:37:15,720
Ending Story how can I solve this and
760
00:37:13,000 –> 00:37:20,200
then when you create all those machines
761
00:37:15,720 –> 00:37:22,680
how can you make sure that the service
762
00:37:20,200 –> 00:37:24,079
organization can keep up with it how can
763
00:37:22,680 –> 00:37:26,119
you make sure that application
764
00:37:24,079 –> 00:37:27,800
organization can keep up with it do you
765
00:37:26,119 –> 00:37:30,000
need to train everybody for different
766
00:37:27,800 –> 00:37:33,040
machines this is this is endless this
767
00:37:30,000 –> 00:37:35,920
this is nonsense so we created a Lego
768
00:37:33,040 –> 00:37:38,000
blocks and I say yeah from outside it
769
00:37:35,920 –> 00:37:40,480
may be an elephant and giraffe they may
770
00:37:38,000 –> 00:37:44,760
look very different but once you open
771
00:37:40,480 –> 00:37:48,920
the hood inside they look very same this
772
00:37:44,760 –> 00:37:52,680
is this is the the critical part that
773
00:37:48,920 –> 00:37:56,680
that is that is really good part of your
774
00:37:52,680 –> 00:38:00,079
of why you’ve been so successful uh and
775
00:37:56,680 –> 00:38:02,720
you reached the see sea levels in in
776
00:38:00,079 –> 00:38:05,000
your corporate career is that you’ve
777
00:38:02,720 –> 00:38:08,240
been asking so many questions right and
778
00:38:05,000 –> 00:38:11,000
people are afraid of asking questions
779
00:38:08,240 –> 00:38:14,680
because some of them are quite
780
00:38:11,000 –> 00:38:17,599
uncomfortable but how do you stay ahead
781
00:38:14,680 –> 00:38:20,040
of curve especially right now when
782
00:38:17,599 –> 00:38:22,319
there’s so many things as you said so
783
00:38:20,040 –> 00:38:26,079
many things uh happening in the same
784
00:38:22,319 –> 00:38:28,599
time um and whether you like it or not
785
00:38:26,079 –> 00:38:33,200
but with artificial intelligence
786
00:38:28,599 –> 00:38:35,839
uh everything seems to be accelerated
787
00:38:33,200 –> 00:38:37,760
exponentially um I don’t think it’s
788
00:38:35,839 –> 00:38:39,920
artificial intelligence alone that
789
00:38:37,760 –> 00:38:42,359
causes the acceleration I think in
790
00:38:39,920 –> 00:38:44,240
general in general the world accelerates
791
00:38:42,359 –> 00:38:50,119
you have to look at from a different
792
00:38:44,240 –> 00:38:53,160
perspective let’s say 10 15 years ago um
793
00:38:50,119 –> 00:38:55,800
you would need to be part of a certain
794
00:38:53,160 –> 00:38:58,440
Corporation to have access to the latest
795
00:38:55,800 –> 00:39:01,440
capabilities you would need to leave in
796
00:38:58,440 –> 00:39:04,640
the very location where the company is
797
00:39:01,440 –> 00:39:07,960
to do this so this is a significant
798
00:39:04,640 –> 00:39:10,960
barrier for a lot of population of the
799
00:39:07,960 –> 00:39:13,079
planet with the globalization and
800
00:39:10,960 –> 00:39:16,119
connectivity and internet you are right
801
00:39:13,079 –> 00:39:19,800
now in London I’m in Allentown
802
00:39:16,119 –> 00:39:24,160
Pennsylvania we can communicate we can
803
00:39:19,800 –> 00:39:26,520
talk without any barriers yes and now
804
00:39:24,160 –> 00:39:28,599
you can imagine you have individuals who
805
00:39:26,520 –> 00:39:31,440
could be whatever they want in the world
806
00:39:28,599 –> 00:39:34,520
as long as they can get access to the
807
00:39:31,440 –> 00:39:38,200
internet and they can have access to
808
00:39:34,520 –> 00:39:41,440
knowledge they can provide input so the
809
00:39:38,200 –> 00:39:44,640
number of people number of brains that
810
00:39:41,440 –> 00:39:47,800
are used to solve problems or that are
811
00:39:44,640 –> 00:39:50,680
curious about something is exponentially
812
00:39:47,800 –> 00:39:52,960
higher than it used to was it used to
813
00:39:50,680 –> 00:39:55,680
was a selective group of people that
814
00:39:52,960 –> 00:39:58,040
could do that now technically speaking
815
00:39:55,680 –> 00:40:01,359
anybody has access to it
816
00:39:58,040 –> 00:40:03,160
but you have the other side to it which
817
00:40:01,359 –> 00:40:06,240
is more
818
00:40:03,160 –> 00:40:07,800
noise yes there is more noise there is a
819
00:40:06,240 –> 00:40:11,800
a lot of information so you have to know
820
00:40:07,800 –> 00:40:15,560
how to how to cut through this noise yes
821
00:40:11,800 –> 00:40:17,760
however what this does is the speed of
822
00:40:15,560 –> 00:40:20,920
innovation is different I mean look
823
00:40:17,760 –> 00:40:23,880
great examples I mean Kodak they
824
00:40:20,920 –> 00:40:27,880
invented digital photography but they’ve
825
00:40:23,880 –> 00:40:30,599
been too busy to rape the profits of of
826
00:40:27,880 –> 00:40:33,599
what they had what’s worked in the past
827
00:40:30,599 –> 00:40:36,680
there was there was Nokia it’s it’s a
828
00:40:33,599 –> 00:40:39,319
great example in the in the C you know
829
00:40:36,680 –> 00:40:43,040
business in the in in the cell phones
830
00:40:39,319 –> 00:40:45,440
they just missed the boat by year and by
831
00:40:43,040 –> 00:40:49,400
the time they realized what’s going on
832
00:40:45,440 –> 00:40:50,599
it was done look at uh Blackberry this
833
00:40:49,400 –> 00:40:54,359
is a great
834
00:40:50,599 –> 00:40:56,119
example you the Blackberry was created
835
00:40:54,359 –> 00:40:58,520
because people started texting on their
836
00:40:56,119 –> 00:41:01,800
phones and it was practical to push the
837
00:40:58,520 –> 00:41:04,000
button three times to get the letter c
838
00:41:01,800 –> 00:41:05,680
so you got a separate keyboard but the
839
00:41:04,000 –> 00:41:08,000
moment you have a smartphone who cares
840
00:41:05,680 –> 00:41:11,160
for keyboard you have your digital
841
00:41:08,000 –> 00:41:14,119
version on the screen and the entire
842
00:41:11,160 –> 00:41:18,359
ecosystem have flourished and grew
843
00:41:14,119 –> 00:41:20,160
tremendously so all you need is those
844
00:41:18,359 –> 00:41:23,400
starting points and those starting
845
00:41:20,160 –> 00:41:26,000
points flare significant changes and
846
00:41:23,400 –> 00:41:29,119
that’s what’s causing this so AI of
847
00:41:26,000 –> 00:41:31,560
course it will be one of the those um
848
00:41:29,119 –> 00:41:34,200
there was nanotechnology one of those as
849
00:41:31,560 –> 00:41:36,599
well in the past but um and there will
850
00:41:34,200 –> 00:41:39,560
be a lot of people people think that AI
851
00:41:36,599 –> 00:41:42,280
is going to solve every problem no no AI
852
00:41:39,560 –> 00:41:44,480
is is good only for certain applications
853
00:41:42,280 –> 00:41:48,319
is good in a certain way and what you
854
00:41:44,480 –> 00:41:50,640
have to be very careful is you do need
855
00:41:48,319 –> 00:41:53,520
to have a quality data if you want to
856
00:41:50,640 –> 00:41:55,760
have a quality results there is a say
857
00:41:53,520 –> 00:41:58,880
junk in junk out no matter how good your
858
00:41:55,760 –> 00:42:01,359
model is so people don’t realize this oh
859
00:41:58,880 –> 00:42:04,880
I I just throw all this all this data
860
00:42:01,359 –> 00:42:06,640
there and get sorted out so no it’s not
861
00:42:04,880 –> 00:42:09,359
going to do it it’s not going to do it
862
00:42:06,640 –> 00:42:11,640
so you have to understand which aspects
863
00:42:09,359 –> 00:42:13,119
could be used for and there are some
864
00:42:11,640 –> 00:42:16,880
aspects that are
865
00:42:13,119 –> 00:42:19,200
obviously um a movie worthy very
866
00:42:16,880 –> 00:42:21,440
fashionable and there are aspects that
867
00:42:19,200 –> 00:42:23,119
are not as interesting for general
868
00:42:21,440 –> 00:42:26,680
public but it could be extremely
869
00:42:23,119 –> 00:42:27,640
impactful um think about a good example
870
00:42:26,680 –> 00:42:30,359
emotion
871
00:42:27,640 –> 00:42:32,280
so in the past the robots would be
872
00:42:30,359 –> 00:42:35,760
considered like this robotic movement
873
00:42:32,280 –> 00:42:39,359
yes you have this very very strange
874
00:42:35,760 –> 00:42:41,280
moves today with modern controls and if
875
00:42:39,359 –> 00:42:44,319
you add some AI you could get the
876
00:42:41,280 –> 00:42:47,079
humanlike movements um very different
877
00:42:44,319 –> 00:42:49,319
you may have a same mechanism but the
878
00:42:47,079 –> 00:42:52,640
movement structure the ability how it
879
00:42:49,319 –> 00:42:54,520
moves the ability how it how it um
880
00:42:52,640 –> 00:42:59,440
progresses is very different I’ve seen
881
00:42:54,520 –> 00:43:01,720
um a robotic toy that um all they did is
882
00:42:59,440 –> 00:43:03,760
they added a screen mimicking the face
883
00:43:01,720 –> 00:43:06,400
and the face was basically a cartoon
884
00:43:03,760 –> 00:43:08,359
like like from Disney movies it was
885
00:43:06,400 –> 00:43:09,680
making the faces and this and suddenly
886
00:43:08,359 –> 00:43:11,760
you have a completely different feeling
887
00:43:09,680 –> 00:43:13,559
about this device yeah it’s the same
888
00:43:11,760 –> 00:43:15,760
thing start developing emotions
889
00:43:13,559 –> 00:43:19,119
sometimes but it starts creating and
890
00:43:15,760 –> 00:43:20,680
showing emotions on the screen and
891
00:43:19,119 –> 00:43:22,880
they’ve done it so skillfully they was
892
00:43:20,680 –> 00:43:25,680
like wow this is really engaging it’s
893
00:43:22,880 –> 00:43:27,960
not like anymore hey here I am is is
894
00:43:25,680 –> 00:43:30,040
more like it starts showing showing you
895
00:43:27,960 –> 00:43:33,559
know start showing us something
896
00:43:30,040 –> 00:43:37,079
different and that’s where AI is going
897
00:43:33,559 –> 00:43:40,440
to be helping to bring this natural
898
00:43:37,079 –> 00:43:44,760
aspects of the uh of how humans would do
899
00:43:40,440 –> 00:43:48,119
it yeah but don’t you worry about um how
900
00:43:44,760 –> 00:43:50,720
it can be misused or you know people
901
00:43:48,119 –> 00:43:54,400
like with the example you just uh gave
902
00:43:50,720 –> 00:43:58,079
about the the machine the the robot uh
903
00:43:54,400 –> 00:44:02,280
you know people can start developing um
904
00:43:58,079 –> 00:44:08,040
um affection and some other emotions and
905
00:44:02,280 –> 00:44:10,760
maybe uh just in some cases um forgo and
906
00:44:08,040 –> 00:44:13,359
stop caring about the reality the the
907
00:44:10,760 –> 00:44:17,280
real world and the real connections and
908
00:44:13,359 –> 00:44:22,319
just focus on something which won’t harm
909
00:44:17,280 –> 00:44:27,319
maybe not one not won harm you but want
910
00:44:22,319 –> 00:44:28,319
uh will be programmed to be almost like
911
00:44:27,319 –> 00:44:31,440
like a
912
00:44:28,319 –> 00:44:34,359
slave H there’s always a danger with
913
00:44:31,440 –> 00:44:36,720
every technology is that could be
914
00:44:34,359 –> 00:44:39,079
misused anything around us I mean you
915
00:44:36,720 –> 00:44:41,400
can take a simple thing as a car you sit
916
00:44:39,079 –> 00:44:43,920
in a car is designed to carry person
917
00:44:41,400 –> 00:44:48,920
from A to B and there will be always
918
00:44:43,920 –> 00:44:51,359
some uh crazy person or someone that uh
919
00:44:48,920 –> 00:44:55,359
uh strange intent that we use a car as a
920
00:44:51,359 –> 00:44:58,119
weapon M Bad actors it’s this is uh
921
00:44:55,359 –> 00:45:01,040
invertible I think in in in any uses of
922
00:44:58,119 –> 00:45:04,280
a technology but um that’s why you do
923
00:45:01,040 –> 00:45:06,559
have a I think a government in this case
924
00:45:04,280 –> 00:45:08,760
uh it’s important to set certain level
925
00:45:06,559 –> 00:45:12,400
of boundaries this is how we’re going to
926
00:45:08,760 –> 00:45:16,240
use it yes think about the cloning yes
927
00:45:12,400 –> 00:45:20,000
people could be cloned we know this and
928
00:45:16,240 –> 00:45:23,440
so far animals done yeah but but that’s
929
00:45:20,000 –> 00:45:25,960
the because of the strong boundaries and
930
00:45:23,440 –> 00:45:27,839
regulations in the Western World this
931
00:45:25,960 –> 00:45:31,400
didn’t really happen or at least we
932
00:45:27,839 –> 00:45:33,800
don’t know of and um same thing is going
933
00:45:31,400 –> 00:45:36,119
to be with this technology there will be
934
00:45:33,800 –> 00:45:39,839
a certain limits um where it’s going to
935
00:45:36,119 –> 00:45:42,319
be allowed to be done and in in in my
936
00:45:39,839 –> 00:45:44,839
opinion
937
00:45:42,319 –> 00:45:48,200
99.999% it’s going to be a good use and
938
00:45:44,839 –> 00:45:50,319
yes you will get some bad situations and
939
00:45:48,200 –> 00:45:54,040
probably highlighted and that will be in
940
00:45:50,319 –> 00:45:57,160
the news but in general life um majority
941
00:45:54,040 –> 00:45:59,640
will be U very positive so you are not
942
00:45:57,160 –> 00:46:02,520
worried about you know a kind of
943
00:45:59,640 –> 00:46:06,200
Terminator like scenario where
944
00:46:02,520 –> 00:46:08,800
intelligence um learns and escapes and
945
00:46:06,200 –> 00:46:12,480
starts to control the
946
00:46:08,800 –> 00:46:16,040
world I mean at the end of the day
947
00:46:12,480 –> 00:46:19,280
um the the I call it so right now we’re
948
00:46:16,040 –> 00:46:21,240
in the era of some people still it’s
949
00:46:19,280 –> 00:46:24,200
kind of overlapping two eras one is an
950
00:46:21,240 –> 00:46:26,359
industry 4.0 where you’re trying to
951
00:46:24,200 –> 00:46:29,599
eliminate a human completely and have
952
00:46:26,359 –> 00:46:31,920
machines doing everything by themselves
953
00:46:29,599 –> 00:46:34,240
and there is a industry 5.0 where people
954
00:46:31,920 –> 00:46:36,400
realize uh you know what um I don’t
955
00:46:34,240 –> 00:46:38,800
think the machines can do everything by
956
00:46:36,400 –> 00:46:41,839
themselves we actually need a human and
957
00:46:38,800 –> 00:46:44,960
we need to make sure they machine and
958
00:46:41,839 –> 00:46:47,680
human can collaborate together in a way
959
00:46:44,960 –> 00:46:50,640
that the machine helps human and that’s
960
00:46:47,680 –> 00:46:53,359
the industry 5.0 where you start
961
00:46:50,640 –> 00:46:55,720
thinking about this methods or
962
00:46:53,359 –> 00:46:59,040
interfaces or how this technology will
963
00:46:55,720 –> 00:47:01,359
be so much better if if I bring decision
964
00:46:59,040 –> 00:47:03,520
points to a human so a human can make
965
00:47:01,359 –> 00:47:05,440
certain decisions sure some of those
966
00:47:03,520 –> 00:47:07,280
decisions over time will be taken over
967
00:47:05,440 –> 00:47:09,960
by machines if those are simpler
968
00:47:07,280 –> 00:47:11,760
decisions but humans still have this
969
00:47:09,960 –> 00:47:16,920
ability to make
970
00:47:11,760 –> 00:47:19,000
a a very um ad hoc decisions that
971
00:47:16,920 –> 00:47:21,040
machines can’t I mean I’ve seen it all
972
00:47:19,000 –> 00:47:23,520
the time with visual inspection so
973
00:47:21,040 –> 00:47:26,119
imagine I show you a surface as a human
974
00:47:23,520 –> 00:47:27,920
and I ask you without telling you I ask
975
00:47:26,119 –> 00:47:30,240
you do you think this surface is fine or
976
00:47:27,920 –> 00:47:33,200
there is a problem you’re going to take
977
00:47:30,240 –> 00:47:37,079
a look say oh I don’t like this how did
978
00:47:33,200 –> 00:47:39,720
you know this is a problem somehow you
979
00:47:37,079 –> 00:47:42,680
look at this and you see I don’t like
980
00:47:39,720 –> 00:47:44,440
this dot on the surface or I don’t like
981
00:47:42,680 –> 00:47:46,640
this because you gained so much
982
00:47:44,440 –> 00:47:48,680
experience right over the years so you
983
00:47:46,640 –> 00:47:50,599
know what what’s good this is the human
984
00:47:48,680 –> 00:47:53,440
perception machine can’t do
985
00:47:50,599 –> 00:47:57,200
that you you can tell machine you can
986
00:47:53,440 –> 00:47:59,200
show them good parts but it’s still um
987
00:47:57,200 –> 00:48:01,079
sure with proper training Etc the
988
00:47:59,200 –> 00:48:03,720
machines are pretty accurate they they
989
00:48:01,079 –> 00:48:08,480
can get pretty far but they don’t have
990
00:48:03,720 –> 00:48:11,599
this ability yet maybe in the future to
991
00:48:08,480 –> 00:48:14,400
do something without much of a learning
992
00:48:11,599 –> 00:48:16,960
that I just do it first time um and and
993
00:48:14,400 –> 00:48:20,359
they will figure out if um if something
994
00:48:16,960 –> 00:48:22,280
is broken around your house you you may
995
00:48:20,359 –> 00:48:24,040
call somebody or or you may oh I need to
996
00:48:22,280 –> 00:48:27,119
fix it somehow the machine will have to
997
00:48:24,040 –> 00:48:31,240
be programmed to do those things I
998
00:48:27,119 –> 00:48:34,960
recently watched this um interview with
999
00:48:31,240 –> 00:48:38,240
um the scientist franois shalet he used
1000
00:48:34,960 –> 00:48:41,480
to work for Google and he basically
1001
00:48:38,240 –> 00:48:46,839
developed this kind of um model or way
1002
00:48:41,480 –> 00:48:51,000
of um understanding intelligence uh
1003
00:48:46,839 –> 00:48:54,280
within within algorithms and he says and
1004
00:48:51,000 –> 00:48:58,319
that the way we at this point we are
1005
00:48:54,280 –> 00:49:00,079
creating the an LM so you know the CH
1006
00:48:58,319 –> 00:49:04,079
GPT clae and
1007
00:49:00,079 –> 00:49:07,000
all uh assistant uh the way they are
1008
00:49:04,079 –> 00:49:10,400
designed and programmed right now it
1009
00:49:07,000 –> 00:49:15,119
won’t let us it won’t let us arrive to
1010
00:49:10,400 –> 00:49:17,880
AGI which is the human level human uh
1011
00:49:15,119 –> 00:49:21,440
like intelligence because that’s what
1012
00:49:17,880 –> 00:49:22,440
you you just said that machine is not
1013
00:49:21,440 –> 00:49:26,079
able
1014
00:49:22,440 –> 00:49:29,280
to they are accurate they can see spot
1015
00:49:26,079 –> 00:49:32,280
the the the mistakes or problems if
1016
00:49:29,280 –> 00:49:35,000
they’ve been trained on such problems so
1017
00:49:32,280 –> 00:49:37,559
they they can just match what they’ve
1018
00:49:35,000 –> 00:49:41,799
already been seen what they what they
1019
00:49:37,559 –> 00:49:45,880
already seen but um humans especially
1020
00:49:41,799 –> 00:49:49,680
when you think about kids they come uh
1021
00:49:45,880 –> 00:49:52,200
with a very basic or no no knowledge uh
1022
00:49:49,680 –> 00:49:55,359
about the world but somehow they have
1023
00:49:52,200 –> 00:49:58,920
those Ines it’s it’s intelligence right
1024
00:49:55,359 –> 00:50:01,839
so they can learn without um previously
1025
00:49:58,920 –> 00:50:03,799
encount having encountered some as some
1026
00:50:01,839 –> 00:50:07,400
situation they usually learn because
1027
00:50:03,799 –> 00:50:10,079
they observing a world around and if you
1028
00:50:07,400 –> 00:50:12,119
have a siblings that teach them bad
1029
00:50:10,079 –> 00:50:15,119
things that they can learn sooner or
1030
00:50:12,119 –> 00:50:18,520
later yes or colleagues it’s cool um
1031
00:50:15,119 –> 00:50:21,440
that’s how it works but um I’m thinking
1032
00:50:18,520 –> 00:50:23,480
more um even though we say that the
1033
00:50:21,440 –> 00:50:27,079
animals don’t have a ton of intelligence
1034
00:50:23,480 –> 00:50:31,480
but somehow um a fly or a bird or
1035
00:50:27,079 –> 00:50:35,040
something that’s born uh hged from egg
1036
00:50:31,480 –> 00:50:37,559
and knows what to do because they are
1037
00:50:35,040 –> 00:50:40,400
programmed in in this way they they know
1038
00:50:37,559 –> 00:50:43,319
what to do but they won’t know anything
1039
00:50:40,400 –> 00:50:45,520
else yeah I understand but they they
1040
00:50:43,319 –> 00:50:47,040
don’t pass the experiences so if one
1041
00:50:45,520 –> 00:50:48,520
learns something they don’t pass this
1042
00:50:47,040 –> 00:50:51,000
and that’s the difference between us
1043
00:50:48,520 –> 00:50:54,480
that we do pass the experiences yes we
1044
00:50:51,000 –> 00:50:57,200
can share we can exchange the knowledge
1045
00:50:54,480 –> 00:51:00,520
if we wouldn’t share so in the future
1046
00:50:57,200 –> 00:51:02,319
uh can machine share uh information sure
1047
00:51:00,520 –> 00:51:04,640
if you if you treat the machines as a
1048
00:51:02,319 –> 00:51:06,079
sworn that you have a multiple locations
1049
00:51:04,640 –> 00:51:07,920
of the same technology and the
1050
00:51:06,079 –> 00:51:09,960
technology hey I’ve learned something
1051
00:51:07,920 –> 00:51:13,160
here I’ve learned something there you
1052
00:51:09,960 –> 00:51:16,720
could you could use this um I see a huge
1053
00:51:13,160 –> 00:51:21,240
potential in medical world where today
1054
00:51:16,720 –> 00:51:24,440
you go to a doctor and um you are given
1055
00:51:21,240 –> 00:51:28,400
a um a decision yes based on his
1056
00:51:24,440 –> 00:51:31,640
knowledge or her knowledge um but in the
1057
00:51:28,400 –> 00:51:34,760
future they can be aided by a systems
1058
00:51:31,640 –> 00:51:37,760
where for example instead of reviewing a
1059
00:51:34,760 –> 00:51:40,680
CT Imaging or reviewing uh ultrasound
1060
00:51:37,760 –> 00:51:43,160
Etc machine can analyze in every
1061
00:51:40,680 –> 00:51:45,520
possible Direction and can tell hey I
1062
00:51:43,160 –> 00:51:47,400
think there is a possibility for X Y and
1063
00:51:45,520 –> 00:51:50,920
Z and the doctor just looks yeah you’re
1064
00:51:47,400 –> 00:51:55,079
right I I I I agree and and and confirms
1065
00:51:50,920 –> 00:51:58,480
so it’s a more processed um information
1066
00:51:55,079 –> 00:52:01,480
um so you will be more like a prescri
1067
00:51:58,480 –> 00:52:04,079
prescriptive more than like forecasting
1068
00:52:01,480 –> 00:52:05,559
rather than what’s what’s right now yeah
1069
00:52:04,079 –> 00:52:08,559
it will be knowledge of a thousand
1070
00:52:05,559 –> 00:52:12,240
doctors rather than one uh combined
1071
00:52:08,559 –> 00:52:15,280
together and and down selecting the the
1072
00:52:12,240 –> 00:52:18,200
very possibilities so it will be faster
1073
00:52:15,280 –> 00:52:20,200
way of of detecting what’s really
1074
00:52:18,200 –> 00:52:23,040
happening and faster way of curing
1075
00:52:20,200 –> 00:52:27,040
things that what’s really happening Etc
1076
00:52:23,040 –> 00:52:30,280
yeah yeah at andite we use the term term
1077
00:52:27,040 –> 00:52:32,760
Collective wisdom or tribal knowledge
1078
00:52:30,280 –> 00:52:35,400
that kind of like you said like bringing
1079
00:52:32,760 –> 00:52:38,799
information from many different sources
1080
00:52:35,400 –> 00:52:42,040
written or said about from different by
1081
00:52:38,799 –> 00:52:44,599
different people and then understanding
1082
00:52:42,040 –> 00:52:48,079
what’s what’s real what’s not uh and
1083
00:52:44,599 –> 00:52:53,319
what can help at the um particular
1084
00:52:48,079 –> 00:52:55,960
situation but let’s go back to your uh
1085
00:52:53,319 –> 00:52:57,480
Innovation like PP perception of
1086
00:52:55,960 –> 00:53:00,559
innovation
1087
00:52:57,480 –> 00:53:02,400
uh so many times we’ve been uh talking
1088
00:53:00,559 –> 00:53:05,319
and you were giving me so many different
1089
00:53:02,400 –> 00:53:09,160
stories you had in your uh professional
1090
00:53:05,319 –> 00:53:14,240
career uh it shows how much of a outof
1091
00:53:09,160 –> 00:53:17,000
thee boox thinker you are um did do you
1092
00:53:14,240 –> 00:53:21,359
or can you recall the time when it led
1093
00:53:17,000 –> 00:53:23,880
you to um a solution which others
1094
00:53:21,359 –> 00:53:25,960
overlooked it’s always um a good
1095
00:53:23,880 –> 00:53:29,119
question I’ll say the need uh is a
1096
00:53:25,960 –> 00:53:31,319
matter of of a lot of inventions yes and
1097
00:53:29,119 –> 00:53:33,559
um one good example I mean there are
1098
00:53:31,319 –> 00:53:35,799
some that I can’t talk about but the one
1099
00:53:33,559 –> 00:53:41,720
that I can mention um there is actually
1100
00:53:35,799 –> 00:53:45,119
a um CRP paper uh with um a realization
1101
00:53:41,720 –> 00:53:47,480
of Industry 4.0 of highspeed CT in mass
1102
00:53:45,119 –> 00:53:51,119
production when you when you take those
1103
00:53:47,480 –> 00:53:55,680
words me yeah so so in explanation when
1104
00:53:51,119 –> 00:53:59,480
you think about 3D x-ray which is the CT
1105
00:53:55,680 –> 00:54:03,839
um in real it to image a part in 3D it
1106
00:53:59,480 –> 00:54:06,240
takes tens of minutes yes so it’s not a
1107
00:54:03,839 –> 00:54:07,640
fast process today maybe faster but in
1108
00:54:06,240 –> 00:54:10,440
general that’s that’s the general
1109
00:54:07,640 –> 00:54:13,200
perception of of the world of the
1110
00:54:10,440 –> 00:54:15,640
manufacturing world and therefore
1111
00:54:13,200 –> 00:54:18,680
automatically when you think about mass
1112
00:54:15,640 –> 00:54:21,240
production of uh items like in consume
1113
00:54:18,680 –> 00:54:24,040
Electronics where you have a lot of them
1114
00:54:21,240 –> 00:54:26,559
um hundreds of thousands of millions uh
1115
00:54:24,040 –> 00:54:28,920
even per day it’s it’s impossible you
1116
00:54:26,559 –> 00:54:34,040
take a very slow thing and and how can
1117
00:54:28,920 –> 00:54:37,200
you do this to make a technology capable
1118
00:54:34,040 –> 00:54:40,559
of not only inspecting selectively but
1119
00:54:37,200 –> 00:54:41,799
doing 100% every single one so when you
1120
00:54:40,559 –> 00:54:43,359
when you see this from normal
1121
00:54:41,799 –> 00:54:44,559
perspective just just this is Mission
1122
00:54:43,359 –> 00:54:48,160
Impossible you would need so many
1123
00:54:44,559 –> 00:54:51,960
machines and and and I had a customer um
1124
00:54:48,160 –> 00:54:54,960
a leading consumer electronics uh um OEM
1125
00:54:51,960 –> 00:54:57,559
and they truly had the need to do this
1126
00:54:54,960 –> 00:55:00,520
and um
1127
00:54:57,559 –> 00:55:03,640
we this was very interesting because of
1128
00:55:00,520 –> 00:55:08,520
course uh a company had had those
1129
00:55:03,640 –> 00:55:11,839
machines and there was a a software well
1130
00:55:08,520 –> 00:55:14,240
known by everybody in that um in that
1131
00:55:11,839 –> 00:55:16,000
world so imagine like okay if you have a
1132
00:55:14,240 –> 00:55:18,760
PC you need a Windows or if you have a
1133
00:55:16,000 –> 00:55:21,440
Mac you need iOS and suddenly we’re
1134
00:55:18,760 –> 00:55:23,520
doing analysis and through some
1135
00:55:21,440 –> 00:55:25,079
experiments I came to conclusion that
1136
00:55:23,520 –> 00:55:26,920
the machine’s fine but the software is
1137
00:55:25,079 –> 00:55:28,319
the one that is limiting factor
1138
00:55:26,920 –> 00:55:29,960
people normally don’t think that way
1139
00:55:28,319 –> 00:55:32,400
they they say oh no software is this the
1140
00:55:29,960 –> 00:55:35,280
thing the machine is too slow no machine
1141
00:55:32,400 –> 00:55:38,200
is fine I can I can do things uh it’s
1142
00:55:35,280 –> 00:55:40,079
very stable I have to think the way I
1143
00:55:38,200 –> 00:55:41,960
have to completely change the way how we
1144
00:55:40,079 –> 00:55:44,480
think about the data processing and the
1145
00:55:41,960 –> 00:55:47,440
software and what it’s going to be doing
1146
00:55:44,480 –> 00:55:50,520
so we’ve run some experiments and
1147
00:55:47,440 –> 00:55:53,680
completely changed everything on the
1148
00:55:50,520 –> 00:55:56,359
software side and I’ve made the same
1149
00:55:53,680 –> 00:55:59,400
piece of Hardware a thousand times
1150
00:55:56,359 –> 00:56:02,160
faster that’s a good uh result for for
1151
00:55:59,400 –> 00:56:04,000
your leadership and it was not moving
1152
00:56:02,160 –> 00:56:06,119
like thousand times faster or anything
1153
00:56:04,000 –> 00:56:08,319
harder was working the way how was
1154
00:56:06,119 –> 00:56:12,440
intended but the way how we started
1155
00:56:08,319 –> 00:56:15,880
doing everything else it enabled us to
1156
00:56:12,440 –> 00:56:19,559
significantly increase the tro and while
1157
00:56:15,880 –> 00:56:23,119
maintaining the accuracy that’s needed
1158
00:56:19,559 –> 00:56:26,319
and at top of it we completely automated
1159
00:56:23,119 –> 00:56:29,799
the process so a person without any
1160
00:56:26,319 –> 00:56:34,520
knowled whatsoever about CT or
1161
00:56:29,799 –> 00:56:36,720
technology um they could load the parts
1162
00:56:34,520 –> 00:56:38,599
and there was only one button close the
1163
00:56:36,720 –> 00:56:39,720
door only because the customer wanted
1164
00:56:38,599 –> 00:56:41,039
and everything was happening
1165
00:56:39,720 –> 00:56:43,920
automatically machine would
1166
00:56:41,039 –> 00:56:46,240
automatically image automatically select
1167
00:56:43,920 –> 00:56:49,480
parts that had problems automatically
1168
00:56:46,240 –> 00:56:53,000
find the situations and present the
1169
00:56:49,480 –> 00:56:56,839
results and and segregate the parts and
1170
00:56:53,000 –> 00:56:59,000
this is this was a true um
1171
00:56:56,839 –> 00:57:02,119
uh true
1172
00:56:59,000 –> 00:57:03,680
Innovation but not like sometimes people
1173
00:57:02,119 –> 00:57:05,640
think you have to go and dig from the
1174
00:57:03,680 –> 00:57:08,440
very beginning is that’s that’s why what
1175
00:57:05,640 –> 00:57:10,920
I why what I see a lot of similarities
1176
00:57:08,440 –> 00:57:12,039
with unite you’re not trying to create a
1177
00:57:10,920 –> 00:57:14,599
new data
1178
00:57:12,039 –> 00:57:16,520
sources you’re just trying to you you
1179
00:57:14,599 –> 00:57:19,200
what you’re doing is you’re approaching
1180
00:57:16,520 –> 00:57:21,559
this from a different point of view why
1181
00:57:19,200 –> 00:57:23,760
should we go always the same path like
1182
00:57:21,559 –> 00:57:26,640
we’ve been doing in the past 20 years
1183
00:57:23,760 –> 00:57:30,960
yes this was good in the last 20 years
1184
00:57:26,640 –> 00:57:35,480
but it is very different now yes we do
1185
00:57:30,960 –> 00:57:38,599
we both agree that um leaders
1186
00:57:35,480 –> 00:57:43,079
usually ignore the fact that things
1187
00:57:38,599 –> 00:57:46,480
could could be done better but I guess
1188
00:57:43,079 –> 00:57:50,000
the the reason why this is happening is
1189
00:57:46,480 –> 00:57:52,039
because they don’t have right data lit
1190
00:57:50,000 –> 00:57:55,240
literacy and they don’t understand
1191
00:57:52,039 –> 00:57:57,319
what’s what’s possible I I I would agree
1192
00:57:55,240 –> 00:57:58,640
with you I mean part of a problem is
1193
00:57:57,319 –> 00:58:02,319
that
1194
00:57:58,640 –> 00:58:06,920
um you have um the more senior leaders
1195
00:58:02,319 –> 00:58:09,760
you have um the more uh maybe unsure
1196
00:58:06,920 –> 00:58:10,960
they feel with the latest uh technology
1197
00:58:09,760 –> 00:58:13,480
I mean you don’t have to go to
1198
00:58:10,960 –> 00:58:16,119
corporations to know this I mean with
1199
00:58:13,480 –> 00:58:17,599
kids yes people always amazed oh my
1200
00:58:16,119 –> 00:58:19,200
child is only a few years old and they
1201
00:58:17,599 –> 00:58:23,640
already figure out how to do it that’s
1202
00:58:19,200 –> 00:58:24,839
the challenge yes um as we progress the
1203
00:58:23,640 –> 00:58:27,799
younger
1204
00:58:24,839 –> 00:58:30,039
generation is born with the technology
1205
00:58:27,799 –> 00:58:32,319
and they understand they think
1206
00:58:30,039 –> 00:58:33,960
differently companies in general I mean
1207
00:58:32,319 –> 00:58:38,280
humans don’t like
1208
00:58:33,960 –> 00:58:42,280
change U we we we like new things but um
1209
00:58:38,280 –> 00:58:43,960
we don’t like disruption yes and um what
1210
00:58:42,280 –> 00:58:46,160
always amazes me when you go to
1211
00:58:43,960 –> 00:58:47,799
companies and they say yeah we have been
1212
00:58:46,160 –> 00:58:50,160
doing this for so many years and it
1213
00:58:47,799 –> 00:58:51,839
worked and my answer to this is that’s
1214
00:58:50,160 –> 00:58:53,039
the first reason why we should look into
1215
00:58:51,839 –> 00:58:56,240
this because you’ve been doing this
1216
00:58:53,039 –> 00:58:59,280
already for so many years
1217
00:58:56,240 –> 00:59:01,799
and the progress is um is happening and
1218
00:58:59,280 –> 00:59:04,880
it’s always the philosophy or the the
1219
00:59:01,799 –> 00:59:07,640
thought process that um when you’re
1220
00:59:04,880 –> 00:59:09,599
investing in new changes it takes time
1221
00:59:07,640 –> 00:59:11,599
for companies to learn how to make money
1222
00:59:09,599 –> 00:59:13,880
on something so they don’t want to be in
1223
00:59:11,599 –> 00:59:16,559
a constant Loop of spending unbelievable
1224
00:59:13,880 –> 00:59:18,720
amount of money to to Really to now
1225
00:59:16,559 –> 00:59:20,200
revamp again because spending is one
1226
00:59:18,720 –> 00:59:23,079
thing then you have to train people then
1227
00:59:20,200 –> 00:59:26,440
you have to do this it’s like a constant
1228
00:59:23,079 –> 00:59:29,599
problem so
1229
00:59:26,440 –> 00:59:32,920
now you added AI at top of it and a lot
1230
00:59:29,599 –> 00:59:35,640
of companies leaders are are are really
1231
00:59:32,920 –> 00:59:37,880
nervous because they wondering how do we
1232
00:59:35,640 –> 00:59:40,079
want to use this AI how is our company
1233
00:59:37,880 –> 00:59:42,480
going to survive with all of this
1234
00:59:40,079 –> 00:59:47,520
because now this is this is going to be
1235
00:59:42,480 –> 00:59:49,680
really U challenging and they think
1236
00:59:47,520 –> 00:59:53,319
about those changes especially with a
1237
00:59:49,680 –> 00:59:56,880
data side that those are big monstrous
1238
00:59:53,319 –> 01:00:00,119
projects and that’s where I mentioned
1239
00:59:56,880 –> 01:00:04,359
really before what I liked about unite
1240
01:00:00,119 –> 01:00:08,200
is you do this in a very different way
1241
01:00:04,359 –> 01:00:12,119
you don’t need this giant construction
1242
01:00:08,200 –> 01:00:15,079
space so companies should not be afraid
1243
01:00:12,119 –> 01:00:19,039
to try because it’s not going to turn
1244
01:00:15,079 –> 01:00:21,920
the life upside down it’s it’s designed
1245
01:00:19,039 –> 01:00:24,599
for taking small bites is designed to
1246
01:00:21,920 –> 01:00:27,000
make it make them work right away and
1247
01:00:24,599 –> 01:00:31,839
this is the level of thinking that has
1248
01:00:27,000 –> 01:00:34,520
to be um enabled in organizations to see
1249
01:00:31,839 –> 01:00:36,599
you know okay we had the era where the
1250
01:00:34,520 –> 01:00:40,359
big changes because think about their
1251
01:00:36,599 –> 01:00:42,799
experiences yes just going through from
1252
01:00:40,359 –> 01:00:44,200
one pay system to another Pace system
1253
01:00:42,799 –> 01:00:46,559
there’s probably a lot of people with
1254
01:00:44,200 –> 01:00:48,359
gray hair in every company that just had
1255
01:00:46,559 –> 01:00:51,079
to go through this and this was so
1256
01:00:48,359 –> 01:00:53,359
nerve-wracking and so difficult and so
1257
01:00:51,079 –> 01:00:55,319
challenging and many of them don’t work
1258
01:00:53,359 –> 01:00:56,960
there anymore so you just don’t know you
1259
01:00:55,319 –> 01:00:58,160
don’t want to touch it
1260
01:00:56,960 –> 01:01:00,720
yeah you don’t want to touch it you
1261
01:00:58,160 –> 01:01:03,720
don’t know what’s really going on and
1262
01:01:00,720 –> 01:01:05,920
and and they afraid and that’s the I
1263
01:01:03,720 –> 01:01:09,039
think the most important part is to
1264
01:01:05,920 –> 01:01:12,079
understand I’m not touching your systems
1265
01:01:09,039 –> 01:01:15,160
I’m not disrupting your work I’m not
1266
01:01:12,079 –> 01:01:19,280
making your life harder I will just add
1267
01:01:15,160 –> 01:01:21,640
on a separate service that is connecting
1268
01:01:19,280 –> 01:01:26,000
you maintaining everything have you done
1269
01:01:21,640 –> 01:01:28,000
but you can now move gradually and steps
1270
01:01:26,000 –> 01:01:29,880
you can decide which group takes the
1271
01:01:28,000 –> 01:01:33,079
first step which group is start using
1272
01:01:29,880 –> 01:01:37,359
the first benefits which is next one Etc
1273
01:01:33,079 –> 01:01:39,520
and I think this also helps to alleviate
1274
01:01:37,359 –> 01:01:42,920
the risk or reduce the risk
1275
01:01:39,520 –> 01:01:44,880
significantly but also reduce the worry
1276
01:01:42,920 –> 01:01:47,680
that oh my God this is just it’s going
1277
01:01:44,880 –> 01:01:50,240
to be a big it’s not strategic decision
1278
01:01:47,680 –> 01:01:52,799
anymore we’re not talking about
1279
01:01:50,240 –> 01:01:56,119
completely overhauling the basis of a
1280
01:01:52,799 –> 01:01:59,559
company we talking to add-on so this is
1281
01:01:56,119 –> 01:02:01,920
more like you know you bought a computer
1282
01:01:59,559 –> 01:02:05,480
okay that’s your major decision now I
1283
01:02:01,920 –> 01:02:07,559
need to get a mouse okay this is nobody
1284
01:02:05,480 –> 01:02:09,760
cares I mean it’s it’s it’s your
1285
01:02:07,559 –> 01:02:11,960
preference that’s the level of decision
1286
01:02:09,760 –> 01:02:15,160
you have to make don’t worry we’re not
1287
01:02:11,960 –> 01:02:16,599
going to touch your big system we just
1288
01:02:15,160 –> 01:02:19,359
we’re just adding a certain things
1289
01:02:16,599 –> 01:02:24,319
around to make it much easier to operate
1290
01:02:19,359 –> 01:02:28,520
with yeah but I guess also um why people
1291
01:02:24,319 –> 01:02:31,920
may be reluctant to use any uh like new
1292
01:02:28,520 –> 01:02:35,279
cutting Cutting Edge um technology is
1293
01:02:31,920 –> 01:02:38,720
that they feel they will be redundant uh
1294
01:02:35,279 –> 01:02:41,119
because the way we do our work right now
1295
01:02:38,720 –> 01:02:45,039
changed compared to you know how we’ve
1296
01:02:41,119 –> 01:02:49,520
done it 50 years or 100 years ago um and
1297
01:02:45,039 –> 01:02:53,119
there is more and more areas which um
1298
01:02:49,520 –> 01:02:58,839
computers can do so maybe part of the
1299
01:02:53,119 –> 01:03:00,240
the reluctance is is this that they they
1300
01:02:58,839 –> 01:03:06,279
like people don’t
1301
01:03:00,240 –> 01:03:09,839
know what skills and or what areas of um
1302
01:03:06,279 –> 01:03:13,559
of work will be left for
1303
01:03:09,839 –> 01:03:17,160
them what do you find um which makes us
1304
01:03:13,559 –> 01:03:19,799
uniquely human and which you know
1305
01:03:17,160 –> 01:03:22,079
computers machines won’t will never ever
1306
01:03:19,799 –> 01:03:26,480
be able or maybe not Never Never Say
1307
01:03:22,079 –> 01:03:27,839
Never but will not be able to do for
1308
01:03:26,480 –> 01:03:30,160
quite some
1309
01:03:27,839 –> 01:03:31,760
time I’ll approach this question a
1310
01:03:30,160 –> 01:03:35,039
little bit differently look at the
1311
01:03:31,760 –> 01:03:37,599
history there’s always a fear that oh my
1312
01:03:35,039 –> 01:03:41,279
God now those jobs are gone and what are
1313
01:03:37,599 –> 01:03:43,039
we going to be doing go 100 years back
1314
01:03:41,279 –> 01:03:46,559
and think about
1315
01:03:43,039 –> 01:03:49,119
agriculture um significant percentage of
1316
01:03:46,559 –> 01:03:51,160
U of humans have been working in the
1317
01:03:49,119 –> 01:03:53,720
fields during a spring and and
1318
01:03:51,160 –> 01:03:57,000
especially harvesting time yes I still
1319
01:03:53,720 –> 01:03:59,640
remember as a child that my God now is
1320
01:03:57,000 –> 01:04:01,880
uh this season or this season and
1321
01:03:59,640 –> 01:04:05,880
Farmers needed so many hands to help
1322
01:04:01,880 –> 01:04:08,440
them okay that was changed with all the
1323
01:04:05,880 –> 01:04:10,119
Machinery today you may have a farmer
1324
01:04:08,440 –> 01:04:12,160
and if they have the newest equipment he
1325
01:04:10,119 –> 01:04:13,960
can be sitting at the at home and his
1326
01:04:12,160 –> 01:04:16,799
tractor will be going on the field based
1327
01:04:13,960 –> 01:04:19,079
in the GPS and doing this by itself did
1328
01:04:16,799 –> 01:04:21,200
it make a revolution that people
1329
01:04:19,079 –> 01:04:24,960
suddenly lost the jobs no they move to
1330
01:04:21,200 –> 01:04:26,799
different jobs think about simp we
1331
01:04:24,960 –> 01:04:29,680
talking Corporation okay let’s go
1332
01:04:26,799 –> 01:04:32,200
computers came on board in the past you
1333
01:04:29,680 –> 01:04:32,880
had many typists people been typing on
1334
01:04:32,200 –> 01:04:35,400
the
1335
01:04:32,880 –> 01:04:37,319
typewriters this is gone okay I can do
1336
01:04:35,400 –> 01:04:39,240
on a computer many more documents I can
1337
01:04:37,319 –> 01:04:42,319
reduct the same document I don’t have to
1338
01:04:39,240 –> 01:04:46,640
retype the document Etc did it make a
1339
01:04:42,319 –> 01:04:48,200
change no in um manufacturing you had
1340
01:04:46,640 –> 01:04:51,440
unbelievable number of people who’ve
1341
01:04:48,200 –> 01:04:53,319
been doing drawings my hand every part
1342
01:04:51,440 –> 01:04:55,880
every cross-section of the part I
1343
01:04:53,319 –> 01:04:57,960
remember in some organizations you walk
1344
01:04:55,880 –> 01:05:00,440
in and you see those endless tables of a
1345
01:04:57,960 –> 01:05:03,200
lot of drafters to making those drawings
1346
01:05:00,440 –> 01:05:07,559
okay computer came in C systems came in
1347
01:05:03,200 –> 01:05:10,039
all those people moved to different jobs
1348
01:05:07,559 –> 01:05:13,079
and you still hear there is a the lowest
1349
01:05:10,039 –> 01:05:15,279
levels unemployment and you still can’t
1350
01:05:13,079 –> 01:05:18,599
find skilled people you skilled you
1351
01:05:15,279 –> 01:05:20,559
can’t find any people to work and we
1352
01:05:18,599 –> 01:05:22,799
always worry about oh my God we’re GNA
1353
01:05:20,559 –> 01:05:26,480
now make another change for the last 100
1354
01:05:22,799 –> 01:05:30,359
years it was a constant move from one
1355
01:05:26,480 –> 01:05:33,839
step to another and people adopted and
1356
01:05:30,359 –> 01:05:36,319
new jobs showed up think about just with
1357
01:05:33,839 –> 01:05:39,279
a smartphone you have apps you have
1358
01:05:36,319 –> 01:05:41,920
somebody have to be doing this those
1359
01:05:39,279 –> 01:05:44,839
jobs did not exist at 10 years ago so
1360
01:05:41,920 –> 01:05:48,039
new technology new innovation brings a
1361
01:05:44,839 –> 01:05:50,520
new potentials for new jobs new types of
1362
01:05:48,039 –> 01:05:52,599
jobs yes the old ones will be gone but
1363
01:05:50,520 –> 01:05:55,160
there was always a new on that that
1364
01:05:52,599 –> 01:05:56,440
showing in so it’s a it’s a constant uh
1365
01:05:55,160 –> 01:05:58,520
re
1366
01:05:56,440 –> 01:06:01,920
Reinventing of the job
1367
01:05:58,520 –> 01:06:02,960
market so how people can um make sure
1368
01:06:01,920 –> 01:06:05,880
that
1369
01:06:02,960 –> 01:06:08,160
they learn the right skills to stay
1370
01:06:05,880 –> 01:06:12,079
relevant on the job
1371
01:06:08,160 –> 01:06:15,160
market I I’ll say It’s always important
1372
01:06:12,079 –> 01:06:16,640
to do what you like to do um and and you
1373
01:06:15,160 –> 01:06:18,799
going to understand what’s I like to
1374
01:06:16,640 –> 01:06:21,480
type right on the typ typing machine and
1375
01:06:18,799 –> 01:06:24,599
what’s what’s done you can still typew
1376
01:06:21,480 –> 01:06:26,279
right on the on the computer and and and
1377
01:06:24,599 –> 01:06:28,240
this will be fine I mean there of course
1378
01:06:26,279 –> 01:06:30,279
some of those activities become more
1379
01:06:28,240 –> 01:06:33,279
like a Hobbies yes people have old cars
1380
01:06:30,279 –> 01:06:35,559
the old cars nobody sells them anymore
1381
01:06:33,279 –> 01:06:37,599
but there is a plenty Hobbes that will
1382
01:06:35,559 –> 01:06:41,240
renovate them and rebuild and they have
1383
01:06:37,599 –> 01:06:43,599
a great pride of of this so this becomes
1384
01:06:41,240 –> 01:06:45,839
a more a hobby rather than
1385
01:06:43,599 –> 01:06:48,119
collectible rather than rather than a
1386
01:06:45,839 –> 01:06:49,640
job but it’s Nobody Knows the answer to
1387
01:06:48,119 –> 01:06:52,039
be frankly honest because everything is
1388
01:06:49,640 –> 01:06:54,039
changing all the time some people might
1389
01:06:52,039 –> 01:06:55,799
say oh it’s only software yeah but
1390
01:06:54,039 –> 01:06:57,599
software is the one thing but at the end
1391
01:06:55,799 –> 01:07:01,119
of the day we need to eat food we need
1392
01:06:57,599 –> 01:07:04,200
to dress we need to grab devices this is
1393
01:07:01,119 –> 01:07:05,720
physical it has to exist somehow so
1394
01:07:04,200 –> 01:07:07,720
there is always the hybrid and
1395
01:07:05,720 –> 01:07:11,279
combination there may be a hype about
1396
01:07:07,720 –> 01:07:14,000
some aspects but um the simplest thing I
1397
01:07:11,279 –> 01:07:16,520
mean you you have a house you have
1398
01:07:14,000 –> 01:07:18,599
electrical system at home it has to work
1399
01:07:16,520 –> 01:07:20,880
yes otherwise none of your devices will
1400
01:07:18,599 –> 01:07:23,760
plug in so you have to have those basic
1401
01:07:20,880 –> 01:07:26,680
skills uh or basic skills those
1402
01:07:23,760 –> 01:07:29,119
specialized skills in electric it Etc to
1403
01:07:26,680 –> 01:07:31,000
put together so I I I truly believe that
1404
01:07:29,119 –> 01:07:34,480
there always will be a combination of
1405
01:07:31,000 –> 01:07:37,400
all those skill sets that will fit the
1406
01:07:34,480 –> 01:07:40,000
society and and everybody will find what
1407
01:07:37,400 –> 01:07:42,079
they need it’s just they always diverse
1408
01:07:40,000 –> 01:07:45,480
you mentioned hype how do you
1409
01:07:42,079 –> 01:07:48,000
distinguish between true Innovation and
1410
01:07:45,480 –> 01:07:50,640
and hype with with every Innovation
1411
01:07:48,000 –> 01:07:52,319
there is um um I’ll put it this way if
1412
01:07:50,640 –> 01:07:54,839
there is a hype it’s always it means
1413
01:07:52,319 –> 01:07:57,400
that people start thinking about it what
1414
01:07:54,839 –> 01:08:02,039
can we do how can I apply this here here
1415
01:07:57,400 –> 01:08:05,039
and there and um and then and then
1416
01:08:02,039 –> 01:08:07,079
things settle down you have a lot of uh
1417
01:08:05,039 –> 01:08:09,359
interesting ideas and some of them move
1418
01:08:07,079 –> 01:08:11,720
forward some of them not AI is not the
1419
01:08:09,359 –> 01:08:14,359
first and not the last hype that is that
1420
01:08:11,720 –> 01:08:16,359
is happening is one of a when I was a
1421
01:08:14,359 –> 01:08:19,279
student it was nanotechnology if you
1422
01:08:16,359 –> 01:08:21,400
didn’t use word Nano and something uh it
1423
01:08:19,279 –> 01:08:23,640
would not matter and it starts becoming
1424
01:08:21,400 –> 01:08:25,679
ridiculous because people who’ve been
1425
01:08:23,640 –> 01:08:28,199
using 10,000 nanometers still been
1426
01:08:25,679 –> 01:08:30,080
calling nanotechnology and as long as
1427
01:08:28,199 –> 01:08:32,880
you could reduce to this and had nothing
1428
01:08:30,080 –> 01:08:34,920
to do with a small size and even
1429
01:08:32,880 –> 01:08:37,199
chemists came to conclusion we also
1430
01:08:34,920 –> 01:08:39,560
nanotechnologist and we call it backet
1431
01:08:37,199 –> 01:08:42,480
technology hey without this is how it
1432
01:08:39,560 –> 01:08:44,960
works yes it’s it’s a mass process of
1433
01:08:42,480 –> 01:08:48,920
Nano uh chemical reactions that
1434
01:08:44,960 –> 01:08:50,759
happening but it’s in the mass skill but
1435
01:08:48,920 –> 01:08:52,839
they start saying yeah we Nano to but
1436
01:08:50,759 –> 01:08:55,120
the intention at the beginning was we
1437
01:08:52,839 –> 01:08:56,359
think about small tiny devices or small
1438
01:08:55,120 –> 01:08:59,159
to
1439
01:08:56,359 –> 01:09:00,759
Etc and it starts going this way and and
1440
01:08:59,159 –> 01:09:04,359
I think it’s the same thing going to be
1441
01:09:00,759 –> 01:09:06,319
with AI people will be looking to at I
1442
01:09:04,359 –> 01:09:08,120
don’t care how important this component
1443
01:09:06,319 –> 01:09:10,279
is I want to make sure that I can tell
1444
01:09:08,120 –> 01:09:12,960
my customers that there is AI in my
1445
01:09:10,279 –> 01:09:15,040
device or AI was used to help design
1446
01:09:12,960 –> 01:09:18,199
this device or AI was used to make
1447
01:09:15,040 –> 01:09:21,120
produce this just for sake of marketing
1448
01:09:18,199 –> 01:09:24,080
and that’s probably part of part of the
1449
01:09:21,120 –> 01:09:26,040
part of the hype completely agree I I
1450
01:09:24,080 –> 01:09:29,920
read so many um
1451
01:09:26,040 –> 01:09:34,880
um papers showing how uh startups or
1452
01:09:29,920 –> 01:09:37,719
companies which include AI powered by AI
1453
01:09:34,880 –> 01:09:41,400
in their marketing materials uh raise
1454
01:09:37,719 –> 01:09:44,799
more funds uh I can imagine this um just
1455
01:09:41,400 –> 01:09:47,640
look at the boards where uh Venture
1456
01:09:44,799 –> 01:09:50,600
capitals meeting and what kind of topics
1457
01:09:47,640 –> 01:09:52,440
they looking for AI is one of one of
1458
01:09:50,600 –> 01:09:54,159
them and they all they want I want to
1459
01:09:52,440 –> 01:09:57,199
invest my money in AI because they want
1460
01:09:54,159 –> 01:09:59,000
to tell each other I invested in AI I
1461
01:09:57,199 –> 01:10:02,640
don’t know what it is I don’t understand
1462
01:09:59,000 –> 01:10:05,560
but but it is AI maybe not not going to
1463
01:10:02,640 –> 01:10:09,920
the far but it is those things are
1464
01:10:05,560 –> 01:10:13,080
needed because it also revives the
1465
01:10:09,920 –> 01:10:16,880
cycle it creates acceleration with
1466
01:10:13,080 –> 01:10:19,480
everything else around yes it it
1467
01:10:16,880 –> 01:10:22,320
reinvents things that you thought that
1468
01:10:19,480 –> 01:10:24,600
maybe this is the end this is I mean
1469
01:10:22,320 –> 01:10:26,440
let’s use example in the kitchen what is
1470
01:10:24,600 –> 01:10:29,840
basic things you have a stove where you
1471
01:10:26,440 –> 01:10:32,880
can cook something you have a fridge uh
1472
01:10:29,840 –> 01:10:35,600
and few maybe order devices you say what
1473
01:10:32,880 –> 01:10:39,239
what else can I do but today you can get
1474
01:10:35,600 –> 01:10:41,960
a device that will be telling you step
1475
01:10:39,239 –> 01:10:44,000
by step what to do how to put things
1476
01:10:41,960 –> 01:10:48,320
together will be verifying that you put
1477
01:10:44,000 –> 01:10:50,600
a proper amount of liquid or solids Etc
1478
01:10:48,320 –> 01:10:53,199
and at the end of the day it provides
1479
01:10:50,600 –> 01:10:56,199
you a meal restaurant style meal
1480
01:10:53,199 –> 01:10:58,960
beautifully done in and all of this is
1481
01:10:56,199 –> 01:11:01,239
just guided through and and and the
1482
01:10:58,960 –> 01:11:03,000
device may look like everything else but
1483
01:11:01,239 –> 01:11:05,679
the outcome is very different because it
1484
01:11:03,000 –> 01:11:09,320
enables a person has that has a zero
1485
01:11:05,679 –> 01:11:12,560
skills in cooking to create a a very
1486
01:11:09,320 –> 01:11:14,360
decent meal and that’s that’s new that’s
1487
01:11:12,560 –> 01:11:17,440
new but that it’s also double-edged
1488
01:11:14,360 –> 01:11:20,040
sword because if this person doesn’t
1489
01:11:17,440 –> 01:11:23,320
have any skills in cooking immediately
1490
01:11:20,040 –> 01:11:25,840
you are taking away um the opportunity
1491
01:11:23,320 –> 01:11:28,640
for this person to go through pain of
1492
01:11:25,840 –> 01:11:31,080
burning stuff and and learning to cook
1493
01:11:28,640 –> 01:11:33,000
and maybe finding joy in it I don’t know
1494
01:11:31,080 –> 01:11:35,000
what do you think about it uh there are
1495
01:11:33,000 –> 01:11:37,159
some people you just want to eat great
1496
01:11:35,000 –> 01:11:38,880
majority of people like to like to have
1497
01:11:37,159 –> 01:11:42,080
a food and eat and they don’t have a
1498
01:11:38,880 –> 01:11:44,120
time to experiment they don’t want to um
1499
01:11:42,080 –> 01:11:46,960
and uh maybe some do I mean it’s it’s
1500
01:11:44,120 –> 01:11:49,400
always this is this is about us yes some
1501
01:11:46,960 –> 01:11:51,560
people will enjoy uh walking in the
1502
01:11:49,400 –> 01:11:55,440
mountains some people will uh will enjoy
1503
01:11:51,560 –> 01:11:58,120
going to the U Beach and and uh it’s
1504
01:11:55,440 –> 01:12:01,320
just the personal preferences and but we
1505
01:11:58,120 –> 01:12:04,159
all need to eat and we all like to eat
1506
01:12:01,320 –> 01:12:08,320
and um the better the food the more
1507
01:12:04,159 –> 01:12:11,199
enjoyable it is sure but it’s about um
1508
01:12:08,320 –> 01:12:14,639
giving the the chance for the person to
1509
01:12:11,199 –> 01:12:16,639
to fail and and learn they they always
1510
01:12:14,639 –> 01:12:18,840
can learn they always can do it without
1511
01:12:16,639 –> 01:12:20,719
nobody’s pushing them hey you have to
1512
01:12:18,840 –> 01:12:23,040
start using this device or you have to
1513
01:12:20,719 –> 01:12:27,280
start using that device the
1514
01:12:23,040 –> 01:12:32,960
reinvention of the processes where where
1515
01:12:27,280 –> 01:12:35,639
um you can um you can inject more
1516
01:12:32,960 –> 01:12:40,159
Ingenuity or more technology more in
1517
01:12:35,639 –> 01:12:43,280
intellect into the um into the devices
1518
01:12:40,159 –> 01:12:45,880
that you know imagine you you you put a
1519
01:12:43,280 –> 01:12:47,480
cake today you know hey I’m setting up
1520
01:12:45,880 –> 01:12:51,920
at this temperature and this has to go
1521
01:12:47,480 –> 01:12:53,800
for so long but if the oven uh looks at
1522
01:12:51,920 –> 01:12:55,800
this it will adjust temperature as
1523
01:12:53,800 –> 01:12:57,600
needed to make sure that the cake comes
1524
01:12:55,800 –> 01:12:59,719
right every single time you don’t want
1525
01:12:57,600 –> 01:13:01,120
to do it you you want to have you want
1526
01:12:59,719 –> 01:13:04,080
to make sure that at the end of the day
1527
01:13:01,120 –> 01:13:06,480
the result is good yeah it’s
1528
01:13:04,080 –> 01:13:10,920
repeatable yeah I still
1529
01:13:06,480 –> 01:13:14,280
remember the the time I was small H when
1530
01:13:10,920 –> 01:13:17,520
I had the you know this heating thing I
1531
01:13:14,280 –> 01:13:23,040
had um aquarium I had many beautiful
1532
01:13:17,520 –> 01:13:25,159
fish and I had this heater and it was
1533
01:13:23,040 –> 01:13:28,719
just turning on and off it didn’t have
1534
01:13:25,159 –> 01:13:30,159
any intelligence so at one day it I
1535
01:13:28,719 –> 01:13:33,239
don’t know it stopped functioning
1536
01:13:30,159 –> 01:13:36,280
properly and it just boiled all the fish
1537
01:13:33,239 –> 01:13:38,520
um and I wonder you know with a little
1538
01:13:36,280 –> 01:13:41,159
bit of intelligence it would know that
1539
01:13:38,520 –> 01:13:43,199
after reaching certain level at least if
1540
01:13:41,159 –> 01:13:45,840
it doesn’t if it cannot function
1541
01:13:43,199 –> 01:13:48,840
properly it should turn off that’s a
1542
01:13:45,840 –> 01:13:51,000
thermostat um I think it was that was
1543
01:13:48,840 –> 01:13:54,040
the word thank you maybe your thermostat
1544
01:13:51,000 –> 01:13:57,040
broke uh that is always a possibility
1545
01:13:54,040 –> 01:13:58,880
but yeah but you AB right that that when
1546
01:13:57,040 –> 01:14:02,800
you have when you add some level of
1547
01:13:58,880 –> 01:14:06,400
intelligence to the devices um around um
1548
01:14:02,800 –> 01:14:10,920
surrounding us U you will you will get
1549
01:14:06,400 –> 01:14:13,120
much easier input yes um a great example
1550
01:14:10,920 –> 01:14:15,800
is smoke detectors you think it’s like
1551
01:14:13,120 –> 01:14:18,760
who cares for smoke detectors yes and
1552
01:14:15,800 –> 01:14:22,440
and uh years back someone redesigned
1553
01:14:18,760 –> 01:14:25,239
them and um they made them cool the way
1554
01:14:22,440 –> 01:14:27,560
how you open this and instead of um a
1555
01:14:25,239 –> 01:14:29,440
chirping noise that the battery runs out
1556
01:14:27,560 –> 01:14:31,719
and it’s very unfrequent you have no
1557
01:14:29,440 –> 01:14:33,560
idea where it is and and may start in
1558
01:14:31,719 –> 01:14:35,199
the middle of a night now you have a
1559
01:14:33,560 –> 01:14:38,120
message on your phone hey your battery
1560
01:14:35,199 –> 01:14:40,080
runs out in this device in this location
1561
01:14:38,120 –> 01:14:41,520
or the device will tell you through
1562
01:14:40,080 –> 01:14:43,440
through the ERS because they connect to
1563
01:14:41,520 –> 01:14:46,639
say hey I’m running out of a battery and
1564
01:14:43,440 –> 01:14:49,400
I’m located in the kitchen and um this
1565
01:14:46,639 –> 01:14:53,360
makes a a simple thing
1566
01:14:49,400 –> 01:14:55,480
yes I still it makes a huge difference I
1567
01:14:53,360 –> 01:14:57,120
remember when I was a student and then I
1568
01:14:55,480 –> 01:15:01,320
was leaving with you know I was sharing
1569
01:14:57,120 –> 01:15:04,120
a flat with few flat m in London and I
1570
01:15:01,320 –> 01:15:06,280
remember it was always turning on in the
1571
01:15:04,120 –> 01:15:08,560
middle of the night and you just didn’t
1572
01:15:06,280 –> 01:15:10,199
know which one was it yes and you have
1573
01:15:08,560 –> 01:15:12,080
you’re running around and you you have
1574
01:15:10,199 –> 01:15:14,679
no idea and you standing in front of it
1575
01:15:12,080 –> 01:15:16,400
and it’s like simple stuff like this and
1576
01:15:14,679 –> 01:15:19,360
this is this is a good example of
1577
01:15:16,400 –> 01:15:22,600
showing how adding some level of
1578
01:15:19,360 –> 01:15:24,600
intelligence to the existing device the
1579
01:15:22,600 –> 01:15:27,800
function didn’t change it still does the
1580
01:15:24,600 –> 01:15:31,639
same job job it’s just detects the smoke
1581
01:15:27,800 –> 01:15:34,120
but it added the extra layers of of
1582
01:15:31,639 –> 01:15:36,679
functionality that makes a very very
1583
01:15:34,120 –> 01:15:38,639
different impact and that’s the that’s
1584
01:15:36,679 –> 01:15:41,400
the beauty and this is where I see a ton
1585
01:15:38,639 –> 01:15:46,199
of potential with AI that we can look at
1586
01:15:41,400 –> 01:15:48,840
the Everyday Use devices Everyday Use uh
1587
01:15:46,199 –> 01:15:51,000
everyday things that we do that it can
1588
01:15:48,840 –> 01:15:53,880
help us to do this better and that’s
1589
01:15:51,000 –> 01:15:56,840
where we going back with the loop into
1590
01:15:53,880 –> 01:16:00,040
the organizations is why do I need to
1591
01:15:56,840 –> 01:16:03,159
wait several days or someone always
1592
01:16:00,040 –> 01:16:05,560
tells me no um I know this would be
1593
01:16:03,159 –> 01:16:07,480
great to be able to connect this data it
1594
01:16:05,560 –> 01:16:10,360
would be great to give you this report
1595
01:16:07,480 –> 01:16:13,040
but I I don’t have time we so busy with
1596
01:16:10,360 –> 01:16:15,760
this um you know there is a
1597
01:16:13,040 –> 01:16:18,280
joke this one is a good and this really
1598
01:16:15,760 –> 01:16:20,440
explains in my opinion the thinking
1599
01:16:18,280 –> 01:16:22,679
process in the corporations there’s a
1600
01:16:20,440 –> 01:16:25,960
imagine there’s a construction site and
1601
01:16:22,679 –> 01:16:30,159
a manager stands and he sees he’s one of
1602
01:16:25,960 –> 01:16:33,000
the guys uh runs with a weel botle empty
1603
01:16:30,159 –> 01:16:35,120
weel bottle back and forth and he’s
1604
01:16:33,000 –> 01:16:37,639
finally got a little bit irritated and
1605
01:16:35,120 –> 01:16:38,719
said why are you running with the empty
1606
01:16:37,639 –> 01:16:42,560
Weir
1607
01:16:38,719 –> 01:16:44,199
ball back and forth and he said because
1608
01:16:42,560 –> 01:16:46,520
there is so much work there is no time
1609
01:16:44,199 –> 01:16:51,280
to load it
1610
01:16:46,520 –> 01:16:55,440
up good one this is this is how it feels
1611
01:16:51,280 –> 01:16:58,719
today people are so busy with with
1612
01:16:55,440 –> 01:17:00,719
trying to create those
1613
01:16:58,719 –> 01:17:02,679
monstrous
1614
01:17:00,719 –> 01:17:05,159
platforms that they have no time for
1615
01:17:02,679 –> 01:17:07,679
anything in no time for thinking no
1616
01:17:05,159 –> 01:17:10,719
instead of just take a step back why are
1617
01:17:07,679 –> 01:17:14,400
you doing all of this can’t you make
1618
01:17:10,719 –> 01:17:17,800
this much easier and hey I I’ll help you
1619
01:17:14,400 –> 01:17:21,920
connect this and this wow it works this
1620
01:17:17,800 –> 01:17:24,520
is this is the level of change
1621
01:17:21,920 –> 01:17:25,520
that Technologies like yours are
1622
01:17:24,520 –> 01:17:29,639
bringing
1623
01:17:25,520 –> 01:17:31,480
in yes but there are so many people
1624
01:17:29,639 –> 01:17:33,920
involved no one wants to take
1625
01:17:31,480 –> 01:17:36,480
responsibility if something goes wrong
1626
01:17:33,920 –> 01:17:38,320
there is always a risk yes you have
1627
01:17:36,480 –> 01:17:41,120
those early that’s why you have in the
1628
01:17:38,320 –> 01:17:44,560
business early adopters and
1629
01:17:41,120 –> 01:17:46,800
followers um you have to talk to early
1630
01:17:44,560 –> 01:17:48,960
adopters the Early adopters are the ones
1631
01:17:46,800 –> 01:17:50,040
who willing to take risks they willing
1632
01:17:48,960 –> 01:17:53,120
to do
1633
01:17:50,040 –> 01:17:56,040
experimenting and they uh there is a
1634
01:17:53,120 –> 01:17:59,000
reason why they successful and there are
1635
01:17:56,040 –> 01:18:01,000
followers who um see okay this works uh
1636
01:17:59,000 –> 01:18:04,239
I can do that it’s the same thing like
1637
01:18:01,000 –> 01:18:07,080
um with everyday life yes um somebody
1638
01:18:04,239 –> 01:18:09,520
will be the tester and somebody will be
1639
01:18:07,080 –> 01:18:12,040
willing to bury the consequences and
1640
01:18:09,520 –> 01:18:14,719
somebody not other reward for those is
1641
01:18:12,040 –> 01:18:17,120
Lighthouse customers yes the ones that
1642
01:18:14,719 –> 01:18:19,120
the first ones that willing to take risk
1643
01:18:17,120 –> 01:18:22,159
why they taking the risk because they
1644
01:18:19,120 –> 01:18:27,040
see that the potential of benefits is so
1645
01:18:22,159 –> 01:18:29,320
great that it we overpowers the the risk
1646
01:18:27,040 –> 01:18:32,199
levels and again I I believe that the
1647
01:18:29,320 –> 01:18:35,480
risks levels actually pretty low uh with
1648
01:18:32,199 –> 01:18:39,080
this approach because if I’m only
1649
01:18:35,480 –> 01:18:41,840
connecting selective Lego blocks and I’m
1650
01:18:39,080 –> 01:18:43,719
working only on the selective wo blocks
1651
01:18:41,840 –> 01:18:47,600
there is no chance for blackout in a
1652
01:18:43,719 –> 01:18:49,800
company or I say data blackout yeah um
1653
01:18:47,600 –> 01:18:54,480
and if something doesn’t work with one
1654
01:18:49,800 –> 01:18:58,480
block it’s a very small risk rather than
1655
01:18:54,480 –> 01:19:01,360
have the whole uh the whole platform you
1656
01:18:58,480 –> 01:19:03,080
have in your in your um like
1657
01:19:01,360 –> 01:19:06,199
professional career you’ve had lots of
1658
01:19:03,080 –> 01:19:09,239
successes so maybe for you it was just
1659
01:19:06,199 –> 01:19:13,520
easier to jump on the new U opportunity
1660
01:19:09,239 –> 01:19:15,360
and and take a risk but so many people
1661
01:19:13,520 –> 01:19:18,560
even if they feel that there is
1662
01:19:15,360 –> 01:19:23,280
something um to it that they could they
1663
01:19:18,560 –> 01:19:25,960
could raise a new idea or just challenge
1664
01:19:23,280 –> 01:19:28,719
the status quo maybe they have this
1665
01:19:25,960 –> 01:19:30,679
impostor syndrome in a way because they
1666
01:19:28,719 –> 01:19:33,120
feel like they don’t know enough or they
1667
01:19:30,679 –> 01:19:37,840
don’t have um you
1668
01:19:33,120 –> 01:19:41,880
know wealth of of of experience and
1669
01:19:37,840 –> 01:19:44,880
success um behind them and like how do
1670
01:19:41,880 –> 01:19:47,880
you overcome this this is a this is a
1671
01:19:44,880 –> 01:19:51,040
hard question because I um somebody said
1672
01:19:47,880 –> 01:19:52,639
in the past that I don’t have fear um of
1673
01:19:51,040 –> 01:19:55,960
course everybody has certain level of
1674
01:19:52,639 –> 01:19:59,560
fear yes but um I always operate in a
1675
01:19:55,960 –> 01:20:01,159
way um I don’t like to please people I
1676
01:19:59,560 –> 01:20:04,480
like to solve
1677
01:20:01,159 –> 01:20:10,000
problems and even if solving the problem
1678
01:20:04,480 –> 01:20:12,560
May cost me some deterioration on my end
1679
01:20:10,000 –> 01:20:14,480
uh I still would do it because I believe
1680
01:20:12,560 –> 01:20:17,040
those are the right decisions and this
1681
01:20:14,480 –> 01:20:20,600
is how we make progress sometimes it’s
1682
01:20:17,040 –> 01:20:24,199
um um it’s a smooth process if you don’t
1683
01:20:20,600 –> 01:20:26,000
try you’re not going to learn if if you
1684
01:20:24,199 –> 01:20:27,440
have organ gation that they have only
1685
01:20:26,000 –> 01:20:29,719
successes and no
1686
01:20:27,440 –> 01:20:30,679
failures uh that means they don’t try
1687
01:20:29,719 –> 01:20:33,280
hard
1688
01:20:30,679 –> 01:20:35,960
enough uh that means they don’t they go
1689
01:20:33,280 –> 01:20:39,800
on a safe line that means
1690
01:20:35,960 –> 01:20:42,199
they they don’t really understand um
1691
01:20:39,800 –> 01:20:45,280
what is the progress there’s no such
1692
01:20:42,199 –> 01:20:48,840
thing as insurance oh yeah this is going
1693
01:20:45,280 –> 01:20:53,040
to be always perfect no sure you need to
1694
01:20:48,840 –> 01:20:57,480
control the risk um I when I built quite
1695
01:20:53,040 –> 01:20:59,080
few teams and um I really believe in
1696
01:20:57,480 –> 01:21:00,880
empowerment I believe the
1697
01:20:59,080 –> 01:21:04,560
micromanagement is one of the things
1698
01:21:00,880 –> 01:21:08,360
that will it’s it’s it’s killing um
1699
01:21:04,560 –> 01:21:11,520
intelligence it’s killing uh people’s uh
1700
01:21:08,360 –> 01:21:15,080
uh engagement it just it just makes them
1701
01:21:11,520 –> 01:21:20,000
a robots and you truly have to empower
1702
01:21:15,080 –> 01:21:22,080
them and one of the um um I read a book
1703
01:21:20,000 –> 01:21:23,560
don’t remember the title but there was a
1704
01:21:22,080 –> 01:21:25,159
a very good sentence what’s the
1705
01:21:23,560 –> 01:21:27,159
difference between
1706
01:21:25,159 –> 01:21:30,920
uh the great managers and the
1707
01:21:27,159 –> 01:21:34,480
managers um the great managers will make
1708
01:21:30,920 –> 01:21:35,880
the mistake only once it tells you you
1709
01:21:34,480 –> 01:21:39,400
can make a
1710
01:21:35,880 –> 01:21:42,080
mistake but learn from it don’t repeat
1711
01:21:39,400 –> 01:21:46,320
the same mistake so people have to be
1712
01:21:42,080 –> 01:21:49,239
able to make mistakes and um very often
1713
01:21:46,320 –> 01:21:51,960
as a leaders if you have um um people
1714
01:21:49,239 –> 01:21:54,280
reporting to you and they often think
1715
01:21:51,960 –> 01:21:57,040
that the leader has to make decisions
1716
01:21:54,280 –> 01:21:58,679
yes it depends there is a certain level
1717
01:21:57,040 –> 01:22:01,920
of decisions and you have to expect
1718
01:21:58,679 –> 01:22:05,960
those decisions from from your team so
1719
01:22:01,920 –> 01:22:08,280
my way of of of working was um if
1720
01:22:05,960 –> 01:22:11,000
someone came and asked me for a decision
1721
01:22:08,280 –> 01:22:12,760
my first question was I understand you
1722
01:22:11,000 –> 01:22:15,840
just want to know my opinion because you
1723
01:22:12,760 –> 01:22:17,880
will make the decision and why because
1724
01:22:15,840 –> 01:22:20,560
you are much closer to this problem than
1725
01:22:17,880 –> 01:22:23,280
I am so you will make much better
1726
01:22:20,560 –> 01:22:26,840
decision if you have some doubts or you
1727
01:22:23,280 –> 01:22:30,000
want to discuss it perfect I’m here to
1728
01:22:26,840 –> 01:22:32,760
help but don’t ask me to make decision
1729
01:22:30,000 –> 01:22:35,120
for you this is your responsibility and
1730
01:22:32,760 –> 01:22:37,440
I want you to use it uh because that’s
1731
01:22:35,120 –> 01:22:40,639
the only way but what if is wrong I said
1732
01:22:37,440 –> 01:22:43,159
then we all bear the consequences and
1733
01:22:40,639 –> 01:22:46,199
and and that’s how that’s how you have
1734
01:22:43,159 –> 01:22:53,120
to approach it then maybe a different
1735
01:22:46,199 –> 01:22:55,159
analogy I one of my um former bosses um
1736
01:22:53,120 –> 01:22:59,280
uh his name Rich canal he was probably
1737
01:22:55,159 –> 01:23:00,400
one of best boss ever and uh he had a
1738
01:22:59,280 –> 01:23:05,239
very good
1739
01:23:00,400 –> 01:23:07,280
say um when you see analogy said when
1740
01:23:05,239 –> 01:23:09,520
you see a child crawling towards the
1741
01:23:07,280 –> 01:23:11,880
steps and there are maybe two steps
1742
01:23:09,520 –> 01:23:13,760
padded with carpet you probably let them
1743
01:23:11,880 –> 01:23:17,440
figure it out but if you see like a
1744
01:23:13,760 –> 01:23:19,159
flight of 15 Steps down uh you’re going
1745
01:23:17,440 –> 01:23:21,920
to grab their hand and that’s how you
1746
01:23:19,159 –> 01:23:25,000
need to approach the uh the business
1747
01:23:21,920 –> 01:23:27,800
side or when you work with teams
1748
01:23:25,000 –> 01:23:31,280
if you think they going towards a cliff
1749
01:23:27,800 –> 01:23:35,280
um grab their hand and discuss this with
1750
01:23:31,280 –> 01:23:37,560
them but if there is a some uh potential
1751
01:23:35,280 –> 01:23:40,120
trouble and they may get a little bit
1752
01:23:37,560 –> 01:23:42,840
you know uh bruised here and there
1753
01:23:40,120 –> 01:23:45,239
that’s okay um that’s fine but you also
1754
01:23:42,840 –> 01:23:47,719
have to understand this is how you make
1755
01:23:45,239 –> 01:23:50,120
your organization uh stronger and your
1756
01:23:47,719 –> 01:23:54,320
organization truly uh Innovative because
1757
01:23:50,120 –> 01:23:57,960
people are not afraid to try mhm um but
1758
01:23:54,320 –> 01:24:00,560
what what what if like you mentioned the
1759
01:23:57,960 –> 01:24:02,800
the leaders are not so close or like a
1760
01:24:00,560 –> 01:24:05,239
managers are not so close to the problem
1761
01:24:02,800 –> 01:24:09,159
what if they don’t understand the
1762
01:24:05,239 –> 01:24:11,560
the the influence the the scope of
1763
01:24:09,159 –> 01:24:14,320
potential um
1764
01:24:11,560 –> 01:24:17,159
failure um one of the biggest challenges
1765
01:24:14,320 –> 01:24:19,320
in Innovation or introduction of new
1766
01:24:17,159 –> 01:24:22,080
technologies you have to provide you
1767
01:24:19,320 –> 01:24:25,120
have to be able to internally sell this
1768
01:24:22,080 –> 01:24:27,080
the organization um there no such thing
1769
01:24:25,120 –> 01:24:30,679
that people just take things face value
1770
01:24:27,080 –> 01:24:34,960
you have to find the reasons why this
1771
01:24:30,679 –> 01:24:38,600
will help or not you have to be able to
1772
01:24:34,960 –> 01:24:43,719
convey uh this to a a certain degree so
1773
01:24:38,600 –> 01:24:46,199
the the leaders can make a um a decision
1774
01:24:43,719 –> 01:24:50,639
so let’s try let’s let’s make a next
1775
01:24:46,199 –> 01:24:53,560
step and so how apart from you know
1776
01:24:50,639 –> 01:24:55,000
letting people try and and and fail and
1777
01:24:53,560 –> 01:24:57,920
in experiment
1778
01:24:55,000 –> 01:25:01,400
how else do you think um businesses can
1779
01:24:57,920 –> 01:25:05,480
stay competitive try to imagine the
1780
01:25:01,400 –> 01:25:07,920
world in 10 years and try to imagine how
1781
01:25:05,480 –> 01:25:11,760
you would be serving that
1782
01:25:07,920 –> 01:25:15,080
world and then take a step back and say
1783
01:25:11,760 –> 01:25:17,800
okay to get there those are the steps
1784
01:25:15,080 –> 01:25:21,400
that we have to take and we are on a
1785
01:25:17,800 –> 01:25:24,960
step number X and every year we have to
1786
01:25:21,400 –> 01:25:28,159
make a certain upgrades and what’s most
1787
01:25:24,960 –> 01:25:30,880
important is observe the world how it’s
1788
01:25:28,159 –> 01:25:32,719
changing because you may not be lucky to
1789
01:25:30,880 –> 01:25:35,080
predict this properly there will be
1790
01:25:32,719 –> 01:25:37,679
twists and turns and adjust the the road
1791
01:25:35,080 –> 01:25:40,920
and make adjustments don’t be afraid to
1792
01:25:37,679 –> 01:25:42,960
make those changes especially in R&D
1793
01:25:40,920 –> 01:25:44,600
settings often people say oh what’s
1794
01:25:42,960 –> 01:25:47,440
what’s our plan for this year this
1795
01:25:44,600 –> 01:25:51,920
fiscal we’re going to do X Y and Z well
1796
01:25:47,440 –> 01:25:54,480
make sure you revive revise this every
1797
01:25:51,920 –> 01:25:57,880
now and then so you’re not working on
1798
01:25:54,480 –> 01:26:01,040
something that is absolutely not needed
1799
01:25:57,880 –> 01:26:02,760
yes or absolete already absolete it may
1800
01:26:01,040 –> 01:26:05,560
at the beginning of of a year it could
1801
01:26:02,760 –> 01:26:08,040
be a a great thing to do but uh in the
1802
01:26:05,560 –> 01:26:10,440
middle of a year it may be absolete and
1803
01:26:08,040 –> 01:26:13,119
that’s the watching of the technology
1804
01:26:10,440 –> 01:26:15,080
and and and being uh Progressive being
1805
01:26:13,119 –> 01:26:16,920
relevant if you’re not solving a
1806
01:26:15,080 –> 01:26:20,080
customer’s problems or somebody’s
1807
01:26:16,920 –> 01:26:23,239
problems if you’re not helping them you
1808
01:26:20,080 –> 01:26:27,480
becoming irrelevant so your product have
1809
01:26:23,239 –> 01:26:30,360
to solve somebody’s problem the customer
1810
01:26:27,480 –> 01:26:33,679
is not coming and buying your stuff
1811
01:26:30,360 –> 01:26:35,280
because they need they they want it they
1812
01:26:33,679 –> 01:26:37,840
have a problem they need to solve and it
1813
01:26:35,280 –> 01:26:39,719
happens to be that your your products
1814
01:26:37,840 –> 01:26:42,400
are the ones that helping them to do it
1815
01:26:39,719 –> 01:26:47,760
it’s very inspiring and
1816
01:26:42,400 –> 01:26:52,320
very hopeful that you know when people
1817
01:26:47,760 –> 01:26:56,000
are seeing opportunities they they they
1818
01:26:52,320 –> 01:26:58,560
should just go for it and and maybe they
1819
01:26:56,000 –> 01:27:01,320
by listening to to stories of s like
1820
01:26:58,560 –> 01:27:05,960
successful stories maybe it gives them
1821
01:27:01,320 –> 01:27:09,600
more a perspective of how big their
1822
01:27:05,960 –> 01:27:13,920
impact can be but there is this other
1823
01:27:09,600 –> 01:27:17,840
side of the um of the medal which is
1824
01:27:13,920 –> 01:27:21,199
failure and I think and I think you you
1825
01:27:17,840 –> 01:27:26,679
you think that too um failure can teach
1826
01:27:21,199 –> 01:27:29,800
us much more in certain um situations so
1827
01:27:26,679 –> 01:27:33,400
I guess my my ask how do you think about
1828
01:27:29,800 –> 01:27:36,639
failure and was there any particular one
1829
01:27:33,400 –> 01:27:38,400
with which taught you a valuable lesson
1830
01:27:36,639 –> 01:27:41,800
I always approach this from a
1831
01:27:38,400 –> 01:27:45,040
perspective uh failure is not an option
1832
01:27:41,800 –> 01:27:50,760
so if you fail there must be a solution
1833
01:27:45,040 –> 01:27:54,239
to it yes and um I I mentioned early on
1834
01:27:50,760 –> 01:27:57,239
about this uh a big project we had and
1835
01:27:54,239 –> 01:28:00,199
we need to create a software and one of
1836
01:27:57,239 –> 01:28:04,119
the key elements of it there was a a
1837
01:28:00,199 –> 01:28:05,760
different method of of detecting some
1838
01:28:04,119 –> 01:28:08,840
situations in the
1839
01:28:05,760 –> 01:28:10,560
data and we’ve run some tests this was
1840
01:28:08,840 –> 01:28:13,040
great and then software Engineers
1841
01:28:10,560 –> 01:28:16,280
started working on it we are two months
1842
01:28:13,040 –> 01:28:19,400
in the project and Engineers are we we
1843
01:28:16,280 –> 01:28:22,040
testing the code and
1844
01:28:19,400 –> 01:28:25,199
um and I realized the data looks really
1845
01:28:22,040 –> 01:28:26,760
good I was impressed
1846
01:28:25,199 –> 01:28:30,199
and then I started worried I said this
1847
01:28:26,760 –> 01:28:33,480
data looks too good and um and then I
1848
01:28:30,199 –> 01:28:36,159
realized that the engineers without
1849
01:28:33,480 –> 01:28:38,719
telling us have made some changes in the
1850
01:28:36,159 –> 01:28:41,239
code oh no in a Goodwill they thought
1851
01:28:38,719 –> 01:28:44,199
this will be improving and yes the data
1852
01:28:41,239 –> 01:28:47,639
looks very stable but they lost
1853
01:28:44,199 –> 01:28:49,920
sensitivity therefore we stopped seeing
1854
01:28:47,639 –> 01:28:53,000
the problem that we supposed to
1855
01:28:49,920 –> 01:28:55,199
see and the customer’s waiting
1856
01:28:53,000 –> 01:28:57,400
everything’s happening and that was the
1857
01:28:55,199 –> 01:28:59,560
moment when I looked in the mirror and I
1858
01:28:57,400 –> 01:29:02,800
thought myself oh my God this is going
1859
01:28:59,560 –> 01:29:04,960
to be a terrible because the whole
1860
01:29:02,800 –> 01:29:07,639
company was supporting this and building
1861
01:29:04,960 –> 01:29:11,199
machines and there tens of Millions on
1862
01:29:07,639 –> 01:29:13,480
the line and reputation of organization
1863
01:29:11,199 –> 01:29:16,000
and everything this was very very
1864
01:29:13,480 –> 01:29:18,600
challenging yeah we had some uh um
1865
01:29:16,000 –> 01:29:20,960
elevated voices in the discussion in the
1866
01:29:18,600 –> 01:29:23,440
conference room with everybody but then
1867
01:29:20,960 –> 01:29:26,159
I said okay let’s um let’s divide us
1868
01:29:23,440 –> 01:29:30,000
into the three groups groups um let’s
1869
01:29:26,159 –> 01:29:31,840
not stay home think about it at home and
1870
01:29:30,000 –> 01:29:34,760
uh three different Engineers including
1871
01:29:31,840 –> 01:29:36,679
the one that made the changes um and
1872
01:29:34,760 –> 01:29:39,679
let’s meet on Monday couldn’t they just
1873
01:29:36,679 –> 01:29:41,560
roll back to to the previous version no
1874
01:29:39,679 –> 01:29:45,080
this was not about diversion it was
1875
01:29:41,560 –> 01:29:47,480
about think about this was the basics in
1876
01:29:45,080 –> 01:29:49,760
the in the code in the math code the
1877
01:29:47,480 –> 01:29:52,480
solution how you calculate something is
1878
01:29:49,760 –> 01:29:54,360
the basic formula was changed and
1879
01:29:52,480 –> 01:29:56,320
suddenly when you roll back it looks
1880
01:29:54,360 –> 01:29:59,400
like the formula doesn’t work the way
1881
01:29:56,320 –> 01:30:03,920
how you want it so it totally changed
1882
01:29:59,400 –> 01:30:07,080
the the all the premises that we assumed
1883
01:30:03,920 –> 01:30:10,920
did not work so we brainstorm a few more
1884
01:30:07,080 –> 01:30:13,400
ideas how to do it and in three days
1885
01:30:10,920 –> 01:30:15,239
literally we completely changed the
1886
01:30:13,400 –> 01:30:17,440
formula how we’re going to do it and we
1887
01:30:15,239 –> 01:30:19,159
got it back on track and we so from
1888
01:30:17,440 –> 01:30:21,199
customer perspective they did not even
1889
01:30:19,159 –> 01:30:22,920
realize this was this moment the
1890
01:30:21,199 –> 01:30:25,440
leadership of a company did not even
1891
01:30:22,920 –> 01:30:29,280
realize we had such crisis we’ve been
1892
01:30:25,440 –> 01:30:32,159
able to sort it out my boss knew that
1893
01:30:29,280 –> 01:30:34,360
and but he was so calm and this is what
1894
01:30:32,159 –> 01:30:36,760
I really appreciate with him and after
1895
01:30:34,360 –> 01:30:38,520
all this project when everything ended
1896
01:30:36,760 –> 01:30:40,480
I’ve asked him a question I mentioned
1897
01:30:38,520 –> 01:30:43,440
about those stairs because he was always
1898
01:30:40,480 –> 01:30:49,360
using this said hey Rich how many stairs
1899
01:30:43,440 –> 01:30:52,040
did I had and he said um I I think about
1900
01:30:49,360 –> 01:30:54,520
10 and I said and you didn’t grab my
1901
01:30:52,040 –> 01:30:57,679
hand you didn’t stop me he said nobody
1902
01:30:54,520 –> 01:31:01,360
could stop you at that point so that
1903
01:30:57,679 –> 01:31:05,239
also was showing how trustworthy he was
1904
01:31:01,360 –> 01:31:09,880
on a side when you have a a leader who
1905
01:31:05,239 –> 01:31:12,719
enables you to do things he he he
1906
01:31:09,880 –> 01:31:16,880
empowers the organization is and that
1907
01:31:12,719 –> 01:31:20,679
creates a a great success and that’s um
1908
01:31:16,880 –> 01:31:23,440
this is um so so this was a at one point
1909
01:31:20,679 –> 01:31:26,400
it was a significant failure but then um
1910
01:31:23,440 –> 01:31:28,480
it was turn around and and it was turned
1911
01:31:26,400 –> 01:31:30,239
into success but it wasn’t it wasn’t
1912
01:31:28,480 –> 01:31:32,679
easy it was many turning points around
1913
01:31:30,239 –> 01:31:36,239
this project but but I have to say we’ve
1914
01:31:32,679 –> 01:31:39,320
been able to to finish the line amazing
1915
01:31:36,239 –> 01:31:41,880
yeah so you see with perseverance uh you
1916
01:31:39,320 –> 01:31:43,760
you managed to to get where you
1917
01:31:41,880 –> 01:31:47,360
wanted
1918
01:31:43,760 –> 01:31:50,199
okay I guess with anything you are
1919
01:31:47,360 –> 01:31:52,920
working right now it will be a success
1920
01:31:50,199 –> 01:31:57,800
it sounds like uh you you just have a
1921
01:31:52,920 –> 01:32:01,080
set mind to it and you love to uh solve
1922
01:31:57,800 –> 01:32:04,600
problems so where like what’s what’s the
1923
01:32:01,080 –> 01:32:07,199
most exciting problem you are um solving
1924
01:32:04,600 –> 01:32:09,679
right now and where people you know when
1925
01:32:07,199 –> 01:32:12,920
they start uh looking into your work um
1926
01:32:09,679 –> 01:32:16,920
after this episode uh what will they
1927
01:32:12,920 –> 01:32:19,960
find beside uh uh helping anite with uh
1928
01:32:16,920 –> 01:32:23,239
with uh uh with the business side or
1929
01:32:19,960 –> 01:32:27,159
strategy on uh data connect uh data
1930
01:32:23,239 –> 01:32:29,440
topics and Silo connections um I’m
1931
01:32:27,159 –> 01:32:32,080
focusing on the manufacturing this was
1932
01:32:29,440 –> 01:32:35,360
uh very good for me that I had about two
1933
01:32:32,080 –> 01:32:38,440
years u a break from manufacturing world
1934
01:32:35,360 –> 01:32:41,040
so I did my entire career my study my
1935
01:32:38,440 –> 01:32:42,880
startup my corporate world and then I
1936
01:32:41,040 –> 01:32:44,440
had a two years break when I moved to a
1937
01:32:42,880 –> 01:32:46,320
different corporation that was
1938
01:32:44,440 –> 01:32:51,840
completely different business completely
1939
01:32:46,320 –> 01:32:54,360
different problems and um when I
1940
01:32:51,840 –> 01:32:56,000
finished this I I started asking myself
1941
01:32:54,360 –> 01:32:59,960
okay what I want to do what really makes
1942
01:32:56,000 –> 01:33:03,000
me happy and um I I like the engineering
1943
01:32:59,960 –> 01:33:07,800
side I like the R&D side the of the
1944
01:33:03,000 –> 01:33:11,320
manufacturing um and I started asking
1945
01:33:07,800 –> 01:33:14,480
myself why we are still so unefficient
1946
01:33:11,320 –> 01:33:17,679
in all this process you have computers
1947
01:33:14,480 –> 01:33:21,199
you have more and more software and we
1948
01:33:17,679 –> 01:33:24,560
still can’t break the ceiling it’s still
1949
01:33:21,199 –> 01:33:26,800
the same story Parts this design the
1950
01:33:24,560 –> 01:33:28,880
machine makes them there are problems
1951
01:33:26,800 –> 01:33:30,520
you have to correct them and it’s a long
1952
01:33:28,880 –> 01:33:32,199
Loop and you need skills which are
1953
01:33:30,520 –> 01:33:34,280
missing those days more and more people
1954
01:33:32,199 –> 01:33:37,119
retiring with those skills you can’t
1955
01:33:34,280 –> 01:33:41,960
really you can’t really solve it so I
1956
01:33:37,119 –> 01:33:44,400
really um came up with a new method for
1957
01:33:41,960 –> 01:33:48,159
uh closing the loop right on the CNC
1958
01:33:44,400 –> 01:33:49,159
machine and uh at first I thought okay
1959
01:33:48,159 –> 01:33:50,840
this is not going to work this is going
1960
01:33:49,159 –> 01:33:54,239
to be crazy so I started poking around
1961
01:33:50,840 –> 01:33:55,600
and I started looking asking some of a
1962
01:33:54,239 –> 01:33:58,119
trusty
1963
01:33:55,600 –> 01:34:00,480
resources can you take a look at this is
1964
01:33:58,119 –> 01:34:03,840
this really am I delusional is this
1965
01:34:00,480 –> 01:34:05,280
going to work and um they said no I
1966
01:34:03,840 –> 01:34:07,760
think you may be on
1967
01:34:05,280 –> 01:34:10,000
something so I file file a patent
1968
01:34:07,760 –> 01:34:12,639
applications and I started working with
1969
01:34:10,000 –> 01:34:16,960
government agencies uh and I had already
1970
01:34:12,639 –> 01:34:19,719
number of meetings and um same uh same
1971
01:34:16,960 –> 01:34:22,480
question do you believe it’s novel and
1972
01:34:19,719 –> 01:34:24,080
the answer was I do believe it’s novel
1973
01:34:22,480 –> 01:34:27,000
and they very interested to to work
1974
01:34:24,080 –> 01:34:30,920
together so in the process of of of
1975
01:34:27,000 –> 01:34:33,719
getting um to um a next stage um to have
1976
01:34:30,920 –> 01:34:37,040
a support actually have tomorrow um a
1977
01:34:33,719 –> 01:34:39,960
call with a first potential customer who
1978
01:34:37,040 –> 01:34:42,159
again the story comes back marcine has
1979
01:34:39,960 –> 01:34:44,840
ability to sell things that don’t exist
1980
01:34:42,159 –> 01:34:47,119
yet but I do know what it’s going to be
1981
01:34:44,840 –> 01:34:50,480
and how it is and and if you have a big
1982
01:34:47,119 –> 01:34:53,040
enough problem and you have a um
1983
01:34:50,480 –> 01:34:56,239
potential Risk Takers they are willing
1984
01:34:53,040 –> 01:35:00,159
to to take a look into this so so I’m
1985
01:34:56,239 –> 01:35:02,400
propelled by by this motion that I truly
1986
01:35:00,159 –> 01:35:05,239
believe this will completely change how
1987
01:35:02,400 –> 01:35:07,960
the manufacturing works so it will
1988
01:35:05,239 –> 01:35:11,520
change the way uh you won’t need those
1989
01:35:07,960 –> 01:35:14,719
super high-end mechanical systems to be
1990
01:35:11,520 –> 01:35:17,480
able to create uh highly accurate Parts
1991
01:35:14,719 –> 01:35:20,520
you will be able to achieve this with um
1992
01:35:17,480 –> 01:35:22,199
with less uh sophisticated systems and
1993
01:35:20,520 –> 01:35:24,119
you will be able to upgrade actually
1994
01:35:22,199 –> 01:35:26,440
existing Technologies to make them
1995
01:35:24,119 –> 01:35:28,840
better and that was done in the past a
1996
01:35:26,440 –> 01:35:33,080
good example is digital skilles you
1997
01:35:28,840 –> 01:35:35,440
would take Old Mills um or Lads and you
1998
01:35:33,080 –> 01:35:38,360
would add a digital skills as a feedback
1999
01:35:35,440 –> 01:35:41,280
and suddenly the very old machine became
2000
01:35:38,360 –> 01:35:43,840
much better uh system and more accurate
2001
01:35:41,280 –> 01:35:46,280
so do this have happened in the
2002
01:35:43,840 –> 01:35:49,320
past so yeah that’s pretty
2003
01:35:46,280 –> 01:35:51,480
exciting Yes sounds like and I would
2004
01:35:49,320 –> 01:35:56,159
wish you luck but I think you don’t need
2005
01:35:51,480 –> 01:35:59,280
it because what you you you feel like
2006
01:35:56,159 –> 01:36:04,040
the way you describe the way you talk
2007
01:35:59,280 –> 01:36:07,239
about it is and also the the experience
2008
01:36:04,040 –> 01:36:12,800
you have which is behind all this uh
2009
01:36:07,239 –> 01:36:15,159
shows that this has to um it has to work
2010
01:36:12,800 –> 01:36:19,280
uh because it has lots of potential and
2011
01:36:15,159 –> 01:36:21,840
it has you uh person who believes in it
2012
01:36:19,280 –> 01:36:24,600
and you will find the way if it’s if
2013
01:36:21,840 –> 01:36:27,280
it’s not left or if it’s not this this
2014
01:36:24,600 –> 01:36:30,880
this angle you will find you will find a
2015
01:36:27,280 –> 01:36:32,880
way to make it work so I I really uh
2016
01:36:30,880 –> 01:36:36,679
keep my fingers cross for you but I
2017
01:36:32,880 –> 01:36:39,920
think you will do just as good without
2018
01:36:36,679 –> 01:36:42,239
any lack wishing uh everyone needs some
2019
01:36:39,920 –> 01:36:44,800
level of like but you really need um a
2020
01:36:42,239 –> 01:36:47,199
teams you need the right people um you
2021
01:36:44,800 –> 01:36:50,199
need a collaboration with groups nobody
2022
01:36:47,199 –> 01:36:52,159
ever does anything by themselves so
2023
01:36:50,199 –> 01:36:55,840
that’s the part that it’s always
2024
01:36:52,159 –> 01:36:59,000
critical and um so far um uh in this new
2025
01:36:55,840 –> 01:37:01,600
project I’m stepping across the the
2026
01:36:59,000 –> 01:37:04,119
right uh organizations and the right
2027
01:37:01,600 –> 01:37:06,639
people and they’re getting excited so um
2028
01:37:04,119 –> 01:37:08,040
we’ll see where it gets us that’s what
2029
01:37:06,639 –> 01:37:12,960
you need you just need to create
2030
01:37:08,040 –> 01:37:14,840
momentum and off you go Martin I am very
2031
01:37:12,960 –> 01:37:18,840
very happy not only for this
2032
01:37:14,840 –> 01:37:22,040
conversation but mainly for the fact
2033
01:37:18,840 –> 01:37:25,440
that we’ve met that we’ve met personally
2034
01:37:22,040 –> 01:37:28,760
as well and uh I get to work with you
2035
01:37:25,440 –> 01:37:31,159
because um I learn so much uh from you
2036
01:37:28,760 –> 01:37:33,960
and I’m sure those who will listen to
2037
01:37:31,159 –> 01:37:36,920
this episode uh will will’ll get
2038
01:37:33,960 –> 01:37:40,360
inspired and we’ll want to implement
2039
01:37:36,920 –> 01:37:42,960
some of those um methodologies and and
2040
01:37:40,360 –> 01:37:45,159
the ways how you um perceive and
2041
01:37:42,960 –> 01:37:48,320
approach
2042
01:37:45,159 –> 01:37:51,599
problems and yeah I I am very very
2043
01:37:48,320 –> 01:37:55,000
thankful so thank you I appreciate
2044
01:37:51,599 –> 01:37:59,599
Camila I it’s a it’s a quite a journey I
2045
01:37:55,000 –> 01:38:03,159
um I have to say I I really enjoy the uh
2046
01:37:59,599 –> 01:38:06,440
the new adventures or or challenges um
2047
01:38:03,159 –> 01:38:09,320
and always pushes me to think things to
2048
01:38:06,440 –> 01:38:11,880
think think about stuff differently uh
2049
01:38:09,320 –> 01:38:13,760
from different angle and um what I’ve
2050
01:38:11,880 –> 01:38:16,920
learned in one field I can apply in
2051
01:38:13,760 –> 01:38:19,880
another field and that has a lot of
2052
01:38:16,920 –> 01:38:21,040
positive consequences so uh but yeah
2053
01:38:19,880 –> 01:38:25,679
it’s
2054
01:38:21,040 –> 01:38:27,639
um again I’m looking for for for more uh
2055
01:38:25,679 –> 01:38:30,639
collaboration and for more of the our
2056
01:38:27,639 –> 01:38:34,080
successes our successes and and I’m
2057
01:38:30,639 –> 01:38:36,960
pretty sure that um it’s just a matter
2058
01:38:34,080 –> 01:38:40,520
of time when uh people start realizing
2059
01:38:36,960 –> 01:38:44,239
don’t work hard work smart and that’s
2060
01:38:40,520 –> 01:38:45,880
how I see what you doing in the digital
2061
01:38:44,239 –> 01:38:46,800
world and that’s how I see you what you
2062
01:38:45,880 –> 01:38:49,000
are
2063
01:38:46,800 –> 01:38:52,679
doing thank you
2064
01:38:49,000 –> 01:38:52,679
appreciate thank you
