** The Impact of AI
------------------------------------------------------------


**
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just about robots. The new research from McKinsey Global Institute (https://www.mckinsey.com/~/media/McKinsey/Featured%20Insights/Artificial%20Intelligence/Notes%20from%20the%20frontier%20Modeling%20the%20impact%20of%20AI%20on%20the%20world%20economy/MGI-Notes-from-the-AI-frontier-Modeling-the-impact-of-AI-on-the-world-economy-September-2018.ashx?utm_source=Global+Community&utm_campaign=4142c28b0f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_09_24_04_49&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_2260916fd1-4142c28b0f-94524649&mc_cid=4142c28b0f&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) on the 5 categories of AI - computer vision, natural language, virtual assistants, robotic process automation and advanced machine learning - suggests that by 2030, ~70% companies will adopt at least one type of AI technology and AI could create a $13 trillion uptick in the world economy. Now the question becomes: how quickly can we absorb AI technology to scale? The time to act is now.

Reid's new book - coming out on Oct. 9 - called “Blitzscaling: The Lightning-Fast Path to Building Massively Valuable Companies” focuses on the strategy and techniques to achieve the type of hypergrowth that produces iconic companies like Amazon, Alibaba, and Google. The core concept of blitzscaling is to prioritize speed over efficiency - even in an environment of uncertainty, in order to be the first to achieve critical scale in a winner-take-most — or all — market.
