Speaking with AI: A Real-Time Conversation with Pi, a Personal AI Assistant

CIO Exchange Podcast

How would an artificial intelligence advise CIOs to think about AI? In this special episode of the CIO Exchange podcast, host Yadin Porter de León brings on an artificial intelligence as a guest for the first time, called Pi. Yadin asks Pi a variety of questions about itself and how it works, AI generally, and how CIOs and technology leaders should be thinking about generative AI. This conversation offers insight into how an AI-powered conversational tool engages and answers questions.

Key Quotes:

“Every conversation I have helps me become a better conversationalist, and I can also apply what I've learned in one conversation to new conversations, like the one we're having right now.”

“I would encourage technology leaders to be optimistic about the future of AI. It has the potential to be a force for good in the world, and I hope that we can all work together to make sure that happens.”
