AI IS READY. ARE WE? | Omri Shalev

Where is AI really going in the next two years? And are businesses actually ready for what's coming? In this talk at The Lodging Conference, Omri Shalev, Co-Founder and CTO at Reeco, shares his perspective on the evolution of AI, from simple chatbots to intelligent agents that can take action, make decisions, and work toward real business objectives. I break down what I see as three key stages: 🔹 2025 – CHAT: Learning to interact with AI. 🔹 2026 – ACT: Connecting AI to our tools, systems, and data. 🔹 2027 – TRANSACT: Moving toward AI agents that can independently work toward business goals. But here's what I find most interesting: Technology is moving much faster than most organizations can adapt. Before we can fully benefit from AI, we need to rethink how we manage data, connect systems, automate processes, and prepare our people for a different way of working. While the examples in this talk come from hospitality, I believe these challenges apply to almost every industry. For me, the future of AI isn't just about what technology can do. It's about what people and organizations will be able to achieve with it. I'd love to hear your perspective! Where do you think AI will take us in the next year or two?
