Key Moments From Kevin See's Interview

-The impact of AI is being felt in the later stages of the innovation funnel.

- Some large corporations are experimenting with topic modeling and NPL in the front end of the lifecycle, primarily in the drug discovery space; but overall, covid-19 hasn’t really been an accelerant of digital R&D.

-Data science is finding a foothold in the manufacturing sector, supply chain, and in the CPG world where AI is being used to better understand customers and those insights are trickling back into the innovation flow.

- The vast majority of companies are not well-positioned to leverage the amount of data they have.

- The smartest approach is to pinpoint the problem you want AI to solve, and to look for small wins first, "nail it before you scale it."
