Notion AI: Something to Be Afraid of or Accepting?

This Thursday, Notion's co-founder and CEO; Ivan Zhao, had announced via a press release the private alpha testing group for Notion AI. In the press release, he wrote a little glimpse of insight about where Notion gets inspiration. Zhao stated Notion HQ has a portrait of Doug Engelbart The reason, Zhao states, is because "he wrote about his vision for computers in his paper 'Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework' — they could be machines that had the power to help us solve problems, instead of being room-sized calculators and typewriters." Zhao also further went on to explain that Engelbart was a large part of the inspiration for him to found Notion. Notion, the productivity software company pioneering a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) experience was valued at $10BN last summer. Zhao also stated that Notion's mission is to "make software tool-making ubiquitous." In context, Zhao is predicting that in the future, Notion will be a toolbox to not only effectively use AI, but also build your own AI software. | Read the Substack article at https://mattrevnew.substack.com/ or go www.RNN.today on your browser and find the RevXRNN Newsletter page. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-cleveland-news-show/support
