Solving Frustrations with AI Innovations: OTHMAN HFUDA
Foot Solutions, 2620 West Broadway, Vancouver, BC, CAAI vs. automation: Not every problem needs artificial intelligence. How do you decide when a simple automation is enough and when AI can add solid value? We are delighted to have Othman M. Hfuda speak on how to recognize and transform operational bottlenecks into efficiency drivers using the power of ๐๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐จ๐ช๐ค ๐๐.
Othman will share how entrepreneurs can develop the habit of seeing inefficiencies as opportunities. Many successful startups don't begin with groundbreaking technologyโthey begin with someone noticing that a process is unnecessarily frustrating and asking, Why does it have to work this way? AI then becomes one of several tools for creating a smarter, more efficient solution.
DISCUSSION POINTS
- What's the most overlooked inefficiency in daily life that AI could solve?
- If you were starting a new AI company today, what problem would you tackle first?
- How do you validate that a problem is significant before investing months of development?
- What's one common misconception people have about AI-powered scheduling and workflow tools?
Othman M. Hfuda is an automation consultant, a professionally trained Industrial Instrumentation Engineer who has enjoyed the majority of his work experience in the world of sales and marketing.
