In this episode Patrick Moran from Computer Clinic joins me. Patrick previously appeared on the podcast in episode 25 (Cyber Security for your business) way back in 2021 and is a longtime supporter of the Podcast. Patrick joins me to talk about the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in New Zealand SMEs that he works alongside with, including how businesses are using AI and the approaches they are adopting as they look to roll out AI solutions. We also talk acronyms including an oldie but a goodie: GIGO which stands for “Garbage In, Garbage Out” and its application to outputs from AI. This leads us to talk about the importance of keeping humans in the loop to check outputs from AI before looking to place any reliance on the same. The chat moves into where businesses can look to start using AI and some of Patrick’s thoughts around how to do that safely. If you have been feeling overwhelmed about all the noise and hype around AI, then I recommend giving this episode a listen.
