Building an AI-first company: What these two business leaders learned from top experts
Adam Brotman, left, and Andy Sack, authors of the book, 'AI First.' (Photo Courtesy Forum3) This week on the GeekWire Podcast, our guests are Adam Brotman and Andy Sack, co-authors of AI First: The Playbook for a Future-Proof Business and Brand. Brotman was Starbucks' chief digital officer and later co-CEO of Sack is a founder, investor, and longtime advisor to tech leaders. Together, they run Forum3, a Seattle-based company that helps brands with customer loyalty and engagement. For their book, they interviewed experts including Bill Gates, Sam Altman, Reid Hoffman and Ethan Mollick, and spent time with companies and leaders that have seen early AI success. We talk about the shocking prediction that Altman gave them, how Moderna achieved 80% employee participation in an AI prompt contest, the CEO who supercharged sales by using AI to analyze call transcripts, and what businesses can do to roll out AI successfully. Listen below, and continue reading for my 5 top takeaways. 1. Leaders need their own 'holy shit' moment. AI has a better chance of being adopted when executives personally experience and use the technology themselves. 'It doesn't mean that the CEO has to become an expert in AI,' Brotman said, 'but they have to at least demonstrate that mindset, that curiosity, and a little bit of passion for what they don't know, and empower the organization to go ahead.' 2. Formalize AI efforts with a dedicated team. Instead of ad-hoc adoption, create an internal group to lead the charge. A good starting point is a cross-functional 'AI Council' or task force composed of passionate employees and at least one C-suite member. Brotman and Sack were challenged by Wharton professor Ethan Mollick to push companies even further, to establish internal 'AI Labs' to truly go all-in on experimentation. 3. Treat AI like an evolving intelligence, not static software. Unlike traditional technology implementations, AI capabilities change weekly. Companies need an 'always-on experimentation mindset' rather than a deploy-and-maintain approach. 'This is a new thing. This is not software,' Sack said. 'It's a being, an alien intelligence.' 4. Make AI adoption fun and experimental. Moderna succeeded by turning AI learning into a 'prompt-a-thon contest' with prizes, making employees feel comfortable with experimentation. This tapped into human psychology and removed the fear often associated with new technology. 'They really integrated the launch of that contest in the culture of the company,' Brotman said. 'The ROI has been off-the-charts in terms of productivity for them as a company.' 5. The transformation is happening faster than you think. When Brotman and Sack interviewed Altman, the OpenAI CEO casually dropped a bombshell prediction: 95% of marketing as we know it today will be done by artificial intelligence within three to five years. That shifted their thinking and approach to the book. As Brotman noted, 'If you look at how the technology has progressed since we've had that interview, it's right on schedule.'

Annoyed Costco customers demand a big change to its dated app: ‘Their interface is stuck in the 80s'
Get with it, Costco. Although Costco has a functioning app that shoppers can utilize — it seems like the warehouse giant needs to get with the times and modernize it a bit. In the r/Costco forum on Reddit, one frustrated customer wrote regarding the store's app, 'Dear Costco, Please Make Purchase History Searchable.' Advertisement 3 Frustrated Costco customers did not hold back with their grievances about the store's dated app. Christopher Sadowski Clearly, a lot of shoppers share this annoyance because the thread was filled with close to 150 comments of other complaints about the Costco app, which, as of now, only allows users to search products, see what's on sale and track their orders. 'Their whole interface seems stuck from 20 years ago,' grumbled one person. '20 years ago? They had windows vista 20 years ago. Their interface is stuck in the 80s…' chimed in another commenter. Advertisement 'I'm convinced the lack of this feature is intentional,' one skeptic wrote. Another complained about how slow the app is: 'I'd just prefer their app not take FOREVER to load something.' 3 'I'm convinced the lack of this feature is intentional,' one skeptic wrote in the r/Costco subreddit. Christopher Sadowski 'Their whole website UI screams, 'We don't care, you will still buy from us,'' joked another commenter. Advertisement One person even compared Costco's app to its rival store: '…I wish it had the same functionality of the Sam's [Club] app where you can scan your items as you shop and pay in the app before leaving the store so you don't have to wait in line to pay.' 'I find it interesting that associates can search my entire history, but I can't…I wish Costco (and all companies) would make my data available to me. I suspect Costco doesn't do it because they don't want to make rebates easier (eg, I buy Venus razors today for $40, they go on sale to $30 tomorrow and I want a $10 rebate),' wrote someone else. 3 Some even wished that Costco would create a better user-friendly app like Sam's Club's. SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images 'If you email them they can send you an excel spreadsheet of all your purchases. Just give them the dates,' pointed out one experienced shopper. Advertisement While the warehouse store's app might have customers rolling their eyes — something Costco is doing right is selling brand-name milk that stays fresh way past its sell-by date. A potential reason for Kirkland's milk having such a long shelf life is that, supposedly, it undergoes a thorough testing and quality control check than what's typically required of milk brands by government standards, according to Food & Wine. To make sure things are running smoothly, US suppliers that manufacture Kirkland-brand milk undergo surprise inspections at least once a year — twice a year if the facility is in China, according to Costco's 2023 Food Safety & Quality Audit Expectations.
