They talked about being an optimist or a pessimist (engineers think in possibilities and historians in risks). But I’ve seen (in another organisation) that because of the gathering of data in combination with AI, the organisation could reduce the costs of cleaning and they turned the cleaners into guides for visitors of the organisation.’ The titans were loosely moderated and didn’t feel comfortable or challenged enough to take this route of confrontation and deepen the conversation. And of course at every upside there is a downside. But he is an American, pretty resilient, recuperates and fires back: ‘Yuval, you talk about the downside.
