@Aaron Levy : 作为Box的CEO，我主要负责帮助企业管理他们最重要的非结构化数据，比如财务文件、合同和营销资料。我们提供一个云平台，让企业可以安全地存储、组织和协作处理这些数据。AI对我们来说是一个突破，因为它让我们能够理解这些数据的内容，并从中提取有用的信息。生成式AI的出现使得大规模分析非结构化数据成为可能，企业现在可以直接向数据提问并获得答案，这为企业带来了前所未有的洞察力。虽然现在AI领域有很多炒作，但我们专注于提供实际可行的解决方案，帮助企业从合同等文档中提取结构化数据，并自动化工作流程。客户可以根据自己的需求选择人工参与的程度，但AI在很多情况下已经超越了人类的表现。我们采取“模型不可知”的策略，与多家AI模型供应商合作，以便为客户提供最佳的解决方案。

Shownotes Transcript

Cloud storage used to be a sleepy part of the computing world but, with artificial intelligence becoming cheaper than ever, the companies collecting and protecting that data are now a hot investment. That includes cloud storage company Box, which has seen its stock climb nearly 40% this year. Its customers include most of the Fortune 500, including movie studios, automakers, consumer electronics giants, marketing firms and the Pentagon. Box CEO Aaron Levie says AI is getting better at piecing through 90% of companies’ data that previously was an intractable mess, and is doing some tasks better than humans – from processing invoices and parsing contracts to building marketing campaigns. So why does he think that could actually lead to more jobs for humans? Plus, why his company plans to stay “model agnostic” and continue to work with all the major artificial intelligence models, including OpenAI ’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude. He speaks to WSJ’s Christopher Mims and Tim Higgins in episode four of our interview series Bold Names.
