#78: AI in the 'real economy' with Bassem Hamdy, Briq

Description

With all the talk about the business impact of AI, why aren't more people talking beyond the most straightforward examples and more about sectors like construction, energy, and manufacturing where there is real potential for impact that has yet to be tapped? 
Agility requires a willingness to challenge the core processes of how work gets done, even in industries where "how it's always been done" is the default operating system. 
Today, we're going to talk about the practical, powerful, and often overlooked application of AI in what some call the 'real economy'—the foundational industries that build and make our world. We'll explore how AI-powered digital workers are moving beyond the hype to create tangible value, and what it takes to drive this kind of technological adoption in sectors traditionally resistant to change.

To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Bassem Hamdy, CEO and Co-Founder at Briq.
