“There's every reason to see opportunity,” Faber noted, “but the best run businesses will be those...that are agile, take advantage of an ever-changing environment." AI needs hardware to learn, she noted, highlighting how humans interact with chatbots and agents using accessories such as microphones, webcams, keyboards and mice. “Hardware is the eyes, the ears and the hands of AI,” she declared, describing these products as the “sensory layer for AI”. With AI now playing such an integral role in jobs across the board, companies will need to offer attractive spaces to attract the best AI talent, Faber noted - which includes offering the best hardware. "Work will need to be optimized, no matter where workers are,” she noted, “it's not the number of tech tools any more, it's how much friction they remove.”
