2024-10-311h 02Employee Experience Podcasts by EX LabsStart-ups & Big Enterprise - How to be successfulImagine the year 1996, the internet exists, but only for researchers and geeks. Dot com wasn't known to anyone and Sam Altman just turned 11. Amazon doesn't exist and neither does Google. Microsoft is a well established company, mostly known and successful because of Windows 95. At the same time a mathematics student writes his thesis about Neural Networks. You think this was early? The beginning of AI - well, not really. It was already the 2nd phase of the AI evolution. AI is much older than most of us know and think - and that also means it is much more...
