I’m trying to learn for my Business class and I’m stuck. Can you help?
Case Study 3 Initial Submission & Discussion Forum: After reading case study 3 in your Harvard Course Pack – Evie.ai: The Rise of Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of Work by Damien Joseph, Wee Kiat Lim, Chong Tack Chun, answer the following questions and participate in the subsequent discussions:
- What factors in the global and local environment are conducive to the development of Al? How did these factors support the founders of an Al startup like Evie.ai? What are some obstacles in the startup environment that may have hindered or slowed Evie.ai’s progress?
- Based on the information provided in the case, describe and discuss the technologies at the heart of Evie. In your opinion, would Evie pass the Turing Test?
- Discuss the costs and benefits of offering Evie as a service. Is there an alternative business model that may be better suited to the needs of the target market and to Evie.ai? What are some other opportunities and features that Evie.ai could explore to grow its business?
- How should Evie navigate ethical boundaries in performing its job? Could Evie learn to tell a white lie, e.g., that all your time slots are full? Should Evie learn to lie?
- What are the major benefits, challenges, issues, and problems in using Evie in the workplace? What other tasks do you think Evie should be able to perform in the future (if there is technology available to support this)? What tasks do you think Evie should not do, even if there is technology available to support this? What tasks do you think should still performed by humans regardless of the state of our technology?
The deadline for posting your assignment is 11.59 pm on Wednesday, August 5. You will not see any other posts from other classmates until AFTER you have posted your initial discussion assignment responses. Your initial responses should not be less than 200 words per question. You should, however, note that emphasis is on the quality and substance of the responses.
