Deciding by Data

X.ai has raised $44 million to tackle a really big small problem: scheduling emails. You might have encountered one of their AI-powered assistants without even knowing it. When emailing to set up a meeting, a user simply copies amy@x.ai or andrew@x.ai to take over the logistics. These bots process natural language in order to set up a meeting the way a human assistant would — but for much less money. On this episode, Dennis Mortensen, the CEO and Co-Founder of x.ai, talks about what a future powered by artificially intelligent assistants could look like. This episode was produced and edited by Lauren Feiner. Our music is "Is That You Or Are You You" by Chris Zabriskie.
