Takeaways:

• Winning as one team means being a team player. You need to be both egoless, but aware of the value you bring to the company. You need to bring a sense of respect to the work you do. Have respect for your team, the company, and the customers.
• A chief scientist does more than just think up ideas and write papers. While ideation is one of their responsibilities, they need to be connected with product, ux, marketing, and sales teams to execute on that idea.
• Chat bots are helpful, but the potentials for AI in the enterprise far surpass their capabilities. The focus of AI would be to make our lives easier when buying a product or using a product or service.
