NASA's Artemis 2, Ancient Life on Mars, AI for Martian Settlements, and Unprecedented GRB

Welcome to AI with Shaily, hosted by Shailendra Kumar, your go-to source for the latest news and breakthroughs in artificial intelligence 🤖✨. In this episode, Shailendra shares an inspiring story about Armen Kirakosian, who spent years working in call centers, dealing with complicated phone menus, taking handwritten notes, and managing challenging customer interactions under pressure 📞📝. Armen’s journey highlights how AI has dramatically transformed customer service over the past decade.

Armen, now a global senior manager at TTEC, reflects on how AI has “taken the robot out of us” 🤖➡️❤️, meaning AI has removed the robotic, repetitive tasks from agents’ work. Thanks to AI, customer profiles pop up before the agent even says hello, and often the issue is already identified, making the experience smoother and more personal. The days of robotic scripts and long hold times are fading, allowing agents to focus on genuinely helping people.

This transformation isn’t just about convenience; it’s part of a global shift in contact centers where AI streamlines workflows, boosts productivity, and reduces frustration—especially the dreaded “zero out” option in phone menus that everyone hates 🚫0️⃣. However, experts like James Bednar from TTEC caution that not all tasks should be automated. Some situations require a human touch, suggesting a future where AI and humans work side-by-side—a hybrid approach that combines technology with empathy 🤝💡.

Shailendra poses an intriguing question: How would you feel knowing AI might already anticipate your problem before you even explain it? This fusion of technology and empathy is what makes customer service feel less like a chore and more like a meaningful conversation 🗣️💬.

As a bonus tip, Shailendra encourages listeners to identify repetitive tasks in their own work and explore AI tools to automate them, freeing up time for creativity and connection—just like Armen’s team is doing today ⏳✨.

The core message is clear: AI is not here to replace our humanity but to amplify it. Armen’s words, “AI has taken the robot out of us,” perfectly capture this idea.

For those interested in staying updated, Shailendra invites you to follow him on YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Medium for more AI stories and expert insights. Don’t forget to subscribe to AI with Shaily for your weekly dose of AI news and share your thoughts on how AI is transforming customer service—let’s start a conversation! 💬📲

Signing off with warmth and curiosity, Shailendra Kumar reminds us to embrace AI with an open mind and heart, making artificial intelligence feel a little more human every day 🌍❤️🤖.

AI with Shaily: How Artificial Intelligence is Humanizing Customer Service

In this week's episode, Ricardo questions whether artificial intelligence (AI) actually reduces project risks or creates new ones. While it helps predict delays, identify flaws, and minimize errors, AI can create invisible risks, such as data bias, which distorts results, and "blind trust," when professionals accept predictions without critical analysis. Another risk is technological dependence: if the tool fails or disappears, the project could stall. There are also ethical and legal questions about who is responsible for AI's misguided decisions. Vargas emphasizes that AI is neither a villain nor an absolute solution. It should be seen as an ally, but always with human oversight, contingency plans, and clear accountability from managers.

AI: Reducing Risks or Creating New Challenges?

No episódio desta semana, Ricardo questiona se a inteligência artificial (IA) realmente reduz riscos em projetos ou se também cria novos. Embora ajude a prever atrasos, identificar falhas e minimizar erros, a IA pode gerar riscos invisíveis, como viés nos dados, que distorce resultados, e a “confiança cega”, quando profissionais aceitam previsões sem análise crítica. Outro risco é a dependência tecnológica: se a ferramenta falhar ou desaparecer, o projeto pode parar. Há ainda questões éticas e legais sobre quem responde por decisões equivocadas da IA. Vargas reforça que a IA não é vilã nem solução absoluta. Ela deve ser vista como aliada, mas sempre com supervisão humana, planos de contingência e responsabilidade clara dos gestores.

IA: Reduzindo Riscos ou Criando Novos Desafios?

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease that primarily affects people over the age of 60. It causes scarring in the lung tissue, which gradually reduces lung capacity and makes breathing difficult. Despite years of research, the exact causes of IPF remain largely unknown, and current treatments mainly aim to slow its progression rather than reverse or cure the disease.

Because IPF tends to develop later in life, researchers have long suspected a connection with biological aging. This is the focus of a recent study by scientists from Insilico Medicine. Their research, titled “AI-driven toolset for IPF and aging research associates lung fibrosis with accelerated aging,” was published recently in Aging-US, Volume 17, Issue 8.

As AI shifts from novelty to necessity in wealth management, the real unlock isn’t shiny tools, it’s smarter planning. Advisors need technology that compresses plan-build time, surfaces next-best actions and keeps clients engaged without losing the human in the loop. How can AI move firms from episodic planning to an additive, always-on model? By turning personalization at scale into a practical reality across the wealth stack.

In this episode, host Shannon Rosic speaks with Ken Lotocki, chief product officer of Conquest Planning, about innovations like Conquest’s Strategic Advice Manager, the role of hybrid models, and how estate and legacy planning tie into the next generation of client engagement.

They also discuss:

- How Conquest enables advisors to spend less time on technology and more time with clients
- How AI augments (not replaces) advisors by making planning the hub of the client journey
- The role of AI and SAM in delivering real-time insights and additive planning
- Why best-in-breed + open APIs beat building a CRM in-house
- What the $80 million Series B unlocks for product velocity and U.S. expansion

The WealthStack Podcast: AI, Advice and the Future of Financial Planning with Ken Lotocki

In this episode, Ricardo questions whether Agile is still sufficient in the face of the speed of artificial intelligence. Created in 2001, the Agile Manifesto introduced short iterations and continuous learning to address the unpredictability of software development. However, today, tools become obsolete in days, raising questions about the relevance of 2- to 4-week cycles or a quarterly backlog. Vargas doesn't criticize Agile—on the contrary, he recognizes its essential role for organizations in dealing with volatility. The point is to reflect on how to apply it intelligently in the face of the rapidity of AI: smaller microcycles? More discipline? An "Agile 2.0" that includes governance, ethics, and social responsibility? The challenge is adapting to the current intensity of change.

Congratulations You're Obsolete!

More than two decades ago, I founded Macrosolutions, a global consulting firm with international operations in energy, infrastructure, IT, oil, and finance.

Between 2016 and 2020, I envisioned and led the Brightline Initiative, a Project Management Institute think tank in partnership with leading organizations dedicated to helping executives bridge the expensive, unproductive gap between strategy design and delivery.
