Jain: Most enterprises are not AI savvy, applying rigid vendor checklists
“The problem is most enterprises aren't very AI savvy, and so they try to put the same 10 checkboxes in front of every vendor.

“So just to put this in scale, we've done over five million phone calls, over a hundred million hours of audio, of conversations between machines and humans.”
Infinitus retrieves 30% to 40% of healthcare call data digitally
“We've probably gotten rid of a few single digit percentage of phone calls entirely, but in a pretty good percentage of calls 30 to 40% of data we can now get digitally instead of needing on the phone.”
Jain: AI systems should communicate via APIs, not spoken English
“My thesis has always been, why should you have two machines talk to each other in English? They should talk to each other in bits and bytes.”

Jain: Social determinants of health data is missing 80% of time
“Is everyone sees the potential of integrating social determinants of health data, but it's missing 80% of the time.”
Jain: Narrow AI tasks fail to capture imaginations like open interfaces
