Are you curious about the latest trends in technology and how they are reshaping industries? If so, you’ll be interested in the insights shared by Jason Hill, a tech leader with 30 years of experience in the IT and consulting industry.
TechInformed had the opportunity to meet Hill at the London leg of Reply Xchange, an event that brings together IT professionals, creative thinkers, and tech enthusiasts to explore the role of technology in transforming businesses. Among the attendees were major clients such as HSBC, Schroders, easyJet, UK Ministry of Defence, and Aston Martin.
One of the key topics discussed at ReplyXchange was Gen AI, a technology that is no longer considered scary but rather a significant tool for businesses. Hill shared that there has been a growing interest in pure AI projects, with around 25% of projects expected to be focused on AI by the end of the year.
In terms of sectors embracing Gen AI, customer service and sales are leading the way. AI is helping businesses like Aston Martin target the most convertible deals in their pipeline, leading to a decrease in drop-out rates and increased sales conversions. Additionally, Shield Reply is using AI to generate war scenarios for defense purposes, revolutionizing military training practices.
Hill also discussed the emergence of new job roles related to AI stewardship, emphasizing the importance of human skills in managing AI projects. While technical knowledge is essential for certain roles, stewardship roles require a different set of skills focused on managing and shepherding projects through various processes.
When it comes to relaxing from work, Hill enjoys spending time with his family, helping his sons with exam revision, and engaging in activities like running, walking the dog, and cooking. He has also recently taken up yoga as a way to switch off and clear his mind.
Overall, the insights shared by Jason Hill provide a fascinating look into the world of technology and how it is shaping the future of industries. Stay tuned for more updates on the latest trends in tech and how they are impacting businesses worldwide.
