Welcome to "AI with Shaily," hosted by Shailendra Kumar, a passionate male guide who takes you on an exciting journey into the world of artificial intelligence 🤖✨. Shaily dives deep into how AI is transforming the way we predict company success, making it possible to foresee which businesses will thrive in the future—a fascinating peek behind the curtain of the business world 🌟📈.

He paints a vivid picture: imagine sitting in a café, watching a startup pitch, wondering if it will become the next big thing or just fade away. Traditionally, such predictions were unreliable, like trying to forecast weather with a paper fan 🌬️🌀. But now, AI-powered predictive analytics have revolutionized this process. These advanced AI models analyze massive amounts of data, detecting patterns and growth signals beyond human capability, acting like a data-driven crystal ball 🔮📊.

Shaily expands the discussion beyond business, highlighting AI’s impact on precision medicine, a booming market expected to grow over 33% annually until 2032 🏥💉. Here, AI analyzes complex medical data to customize treatments, dramatically improving patient outcomes—a powerful example of AI’s predictive power saving lives, not just driving profits ❤️⚕️.

The design industry is also flourishing thanks to AI, with AI-powered design tools projected to become a $40 billion market by 2034 🎨💻. From enhancing user experiences to sparking innovation, AI is reshaping how companies create and succeed in their fields.

Even economic policies are evolving with AI’s help. By providing fresh insights into economic trends and business performance, AI aids policymakers in crafting smarter, data-driven strategies 💼📉. This could lead to better investments and more reliable forecasts about which companies will flourish.

Shaily offers a valuable tip for entrepreneurs and investors: watch AI tools not only for analyzing current markets but also for spotting emerging industries early on 🌱🔍. AI forecasts can uncover hidden opportunities before they become mainstream.

He leaves you with a thought-provoking question: what if you could use AI-powered predictions for your own career or business ideas? How would that influence your decisions and future plans? 🤔🚀

Quoting Peter Sondergaard, Shaily reminds us, “Information is the oil of the 21st century, and analytics is the combustion engine.” AI is fueling this engine faster than ever, driving innovation and insight forward ⛽⚙️.

To stay ahead in this AI-driven world, Shaily invites you to join him on YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Medium for more insights and discussions 📱💬. He encourages you to subscribe, share your thoughts, and ask questions, emphasizing that AI is a journey we’re all on together 🤝🌍.

Thanks for tuning in to "AI with Shaily." Until next time, keep questioning and keep innovating! 💡🚀

Lab Revolution In The Age Of AI And Access

How do today’s diagnostic laboratories grow, stay compliant, and remain profitable while facing staffing shortages, payer complexity, and soaring demand for advanced testing? On this special episode, they sit down with Ashish Dua, President and Co-Founder of Glidian, a company recently welcomed into the Infinx family. With deep expertise in laboratory workflows and prior authorization automation, Ashish shares how Glidian is helping labs—from scrappy startups to academic medical centers—scale faster, reduce overhead, and win physician loyalty by solving access barriers. The conversation explores how AI is transforming lab revenue cycle operations, not just by removing administrative burden, but by enabling entirely new workflows—such as acting as prior auth agents for physicians and training algorithms to interpret analog responses from payers. We’ll also discuss how shifting the burden of prior authorization from providers to labs is creating a new dynamic where labs can move from being cost centers to true revenue drivers. Ashish brings perspective from working with labs that perform high-volume molecular diagnostics, including non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) and hereditary cancer screenings like BRCA1/2, offering a timely view into what it really takes to operate a modern, financially sustainable lab in 2025.
