Good morning from the Fortune COO Summit in Scottsdale, where a lot of the conversation was focused on how leaders are using AI and preparing their companies to embrace it. We created some multi-agent systems in real time with Babak Hodjat, who is chief technology officer, AI, for Cognizant, our founding and knowledge partner for the summit. Chipotle CEO Scott Boatwright said his company will open a new restaurant almost every 24 hours thanks to AI, and leaders like LRN founder Dov Seidman talked about how to create more human-centered organizations in this next wave of transformation.
I had an opportunity to interview my digital twin on stage. It—or should I say, she?—was created by Delphi cofounder and CEO Dara Ladjevardian, whose company has created thousands of digital clones for clients who want to, as he put it, “scale their minds.” That could be consultants who are using digital clones to engage potential clients in conversation or CEOs who want to help employees understand their thinking on a range of issues. The goal, says Ladjevardian, is to train these digital replicas to “be predictive of you.”
What’s fun, and disconcerting, is how these clones can engage in conversation. Mine knew my sister’s name, thanks to a podcast from a decade ago that I hadn’t realized it found, and it cited my own phrases back to me. (Note to self: the alliteration that seemed clever on a LinkedIn bio can sound trite when you hear it said out loud.) And, unlike me, my twin could instantly call up facts and anecdotes from past stories and serve up observations about current affairs in my voice.
Did it capture the essence of who I am? No. I thought it was more humorless and way more superficial than I am in real life. There’s a mildly creepy quality to my video avatar—the movie Cats comes to mind—where my mouth and eyes didn’t seem quite in sync. But—hey—maybe that’s because I never look at myself as I talk. I presume the technology will get better at capturing tone, personality and empathy. But let me know what you think. You can speak with digital Diane yourself by clicking on this link.
