Quotes

"My thoughts about AI for CTOs are that you should have started six months ago. And if you haven't started yet doing something with AI, you're too late for the game." - Stephan Schmidt
-
“At least hire an intern with the title AI or something, because if there is one person in the company who has an AI title and does nothing but think about AI and how to apply AI to the business, then you can leverage it." - Stephan Schmidt
-
"AI is like the internet in 1995. No one knew what to use the internet for except to have a homepage with a phone number or something. And then all the other fantastic stuff happened. And if you, as a company, don't think about how it applies to you and what you can do with it, you will not come up with ideas." - Stephan Schmidt
-
"It's not about writing software; it's not about plugging AI into my software. But AI is software." - Stephan Schmidt
-
"The backup plan for a lot of VCs was actually to hire, and it says something like, okay, each engineer is worth a million dollars. So, if the company can't make it, at least if you have 50 engineers, there is some value you can sell to someone." - Stephan Schmidt
