Listen "Elon Musk Was Right: Why Government Needs Boring AI, Matt Calkins - CEO Appian"
Episode Synopsis
It’s easy to get lost in the AI gold rush exploding around the globe. On this episode of The Reboot Chronicles Show, Appian CEO Matt Calkins explains why AI’s greatest value isn’t about replacing humans, but about helping organizations work faster or smarter. Now it is time for a moment of truth about the basic value of AI.A great American entrepreneurial growth story, Matt has grown Appian from a scrappy basement startup to the most successful software IPO of 2017 with only $10 million of pre IPO capital. Most CEOs don’t raise capital so efficiently before going public—which is one reason we wanted him on the show. I guess also because Dean did the same thing, as the CEO of Autoweb, which he took public at a billion-dollar valuation. It’s a small club…but getting bigger with AI companies.This rapidly growing group now has a $2B market cap and thousands of employees that have rebooted into a ‘Process AI’ firm built to enable a ‘worker’ model for organizations.Hot off the heels of their World Conference, where they unpacked the future of tech, and how to put AI to work, Matt cuts through the hype to help us peer around corners with a realistic take on what’s next for our organizations and our lives.
