At a nyc tech week e, i heard there’s one key thing he can’t will – ryan

IT’S OFFICIALLY TECH Week in New York, we can the City Cosplays as San Francisco and Networking Haurs Hours over SEEMINGLY EVERY BAR. On Sunday Evening, Around 50 Founders and Investors Kicked off the Week with A Power Walk on the High Line – and while Pretty Much Everyone Seemed to Be Discussing he, they told with the event itelf reprecise what new technology can’t replace.

I ARRIVED AT THE WALK A FEW Minutes Early to Find a Small Crowd Assembled, The Brave Wearing Athletic Shorts in the Uncharacteristically Cold June Weather. As we were started to walk, the word ‘he’ saemed to dot the overheard of overheard.

Of the six FOUNDERS I TALKED TO, FIVE OF THESE Explicitly Marketed Their Projects As he companies. All of the he is the enthusiasts of talked to, though, independently told me there’s one crucial business skill that the technology can’t master: Interpersonal skills.

“What he will Never Replace is Human Connection, How to Deal With People,” Somya Gupta, 25, Told Me. GUPTA founded context just under a year ago, an ai Education startup that partners with universities to help professors create ai-tough online courses. He said that face-to-face interaction is what make-up tech week important.

Ben Spray, 21, is the CEO of Consolidated Consulting, a private equity professional services firm, and is working to build another company. HIS Next Venture is an AI-POWERED IT DEPARTMENT THAT HOPES WILL CONSUME HIS CURRENT STARTUP.

Spray Thinks that the Humans at HIS Startup Outperform it in Two Key Areas: “Design and Emotional Intelligence.”

He Might Be Able to Produce Code, but it Can’t Undersand “Really, Really Varied Connections,” Spray Told Me.

Matt Bishop, Who Founded Open City Labs in 2017, Told with he’s been building he chatbots “Since before it was cool.” His Company Unifies Customers’ Health Date from Different Providers and uses AI to Generate Personalized Care Plass. When it comes to Certain Task, he has been show to outfinform doctors, bishop, 42, told me.

“But that does not mean of belles that we don’t need doctors,” he said. Instead, he thinks we need doctors to learn how they can use it he effectively.

I ALSO SASED The Tech Bros – and, Yes, They Were Mainly Bros – About Whether he is taking jobs.

Matt Slavik, 36, and ondrej illek, 32, Founded a recruitment company that uses it agents, and said their human expertise with the agents’ skills startups find talent fastener. Its Essential, Though, To Maintaine A “Human Touch,” Illek Said.

These days, that very recruitment process is “really challed for Young People,” Bishop Told Me. IT SEEMS LIKE THE ONLY WAY TO SUCCEED IN A Brutal Job Market is to embrace he, at least according to those i asced.

Gupta, who founded the he Education Company, Described Himself as an optimistic and said sid of his Friends HAD recently found jobs. It was he said he is going to replace inefficient employs, but that is those who learn how to work with it can turbocharge productivity.

As we walked up the west side of Manhattan, I was ostrich by the number of People that showed up, free from their computers and generaly off their Phones. Atthemes paired off like they were on a middle schoool trip-they talked about autonomous robots, but they talked person-to-person noneheless.

At Tech Week, I Somehow Still Felt The “Human Touch.”
