The Inevitability of AI in Every Facet of Your Business: 11 Deep Thoughts With Lasting Impact

It’s 20th February, a warm Tuesday, and I’m somewhere in the Persian Gulf, relaxing in a hammock, reading through a book I long wanted to finish: “The Daily Stoic, 365 Meditations on Wisdom…. .”

It’ a heavy book, each page has a quote from a Stoic at the top, followed by a short meditation from Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman on that topic. It’s a short discussion that helps you to think more about the quote. To me, this kind of reading has always been hard. It requires me to read and reread the quote, then understand the thoughts of the two authors and relate them to my life, potentially coming up with a few examples of my own.

With the sound of the waves, the wind in my face, and the heavy and raw mountains of Oman rising in front of me, my mind started to drift off…across the sea, and soon it landed where it so often does: at data & AI.

Yeah, I know, I’m a geek.

I realize I’m a bit strange in that way. Probably not everyone is thinking about data and AI when he’s in a hammock enjoying his vacation in the Persian Gulf, lined by beautiful nature. But then again, I do have a Ph.D. in math and have been literally buried in data and AI for over a decade every single day.
