AI Can Do Far More Than You're Asking It To | Jaymes Davis, Kasm Technologies
Is your organization trying to train AI—or actually learning how to use it? Most companies are approaching AI like traditional software, but as Jaymes Davis, Chief Technical Evangelist at Kasm Technologies, explains, that’s where things start to break down. AI isn’t something you learn in a single training or roll out in a standardized way—it’s something people figure out in the context of their actual work. From a florist planning hundreds of weddings to enterprise teams rethinking workflows, he shows why the real opportunity isn’t just using AI to move faster—it’s using it to think bigger. While employees are already experimenting on their own, the real risk isn’t that they’re using AI, it’s that they may trust it's basic capabilities without understanding how to fully maximize its usage and application.
