ABOUT THIS EPISODE
You can ask AI to complete a task. Someone still has to decide which task matters, how it connects to the rest of the business, and what happens next.
Sam Pasupalak, co-founder and CEO of Skyfall AI, joins me to talk about his team's ambition to build an AI CEO. We discuss why he sees planning as the missing piece, how world models could help a system anticipate the consequences of business decisions, and why learning continuously remains a difficult research problem.
Sam also draws a line between the operations he wants to automate and the employee relationships and motivation he believes will stay human.
And we get into where he expects automation to arrive first: small online businesses, including SaaS and direct-to-consumer companies, with very different implications from those he sees for larger organizations.
