15 Aug 2025
Ab DeWeese is a serial entrepreneur, investor, polymath, and AI educator recognized for his ability to distill complex problems into clear, actionable solutions. Mike Petrusky asks AB about his new book, "Essential AI: Your All-in-One QuickStart to Using AI in Business and The Workplace" where he explains the different types of AI systems, including generative AI and custom-built AI for specific business needs. Mike and Ab explore how AI can significantly enhance the efficiency of maintenance and repair tasks by quickly accessing and summarizing technical manuals, but they caution that users must verify the AI's output to avoid errors. Ab believes that data is the "currency of the future" and he says the current AI trend is driving organizations to be more thoughtful about data collection, organization, and labeling, which is essential for building effective AI solutions. Having conversations with chatbots is becoming a fundamental skill for professionals, so Mike and Ab share practical advice and offer real-world examples as they inspire you to be an Asset Champion in your organization!
