We are here at eTail Palm Springs and seeing and hearing the latest and greatest in e-commerce and retail. Question: Do you need to choose between AI and human recommendations as a customer? Why not have both? After all, don’t each have their strengths? AI in the retail experience is all the rage these days, but today I’m talking with someone from a brand that has been incorporating AI-personalized experiences and shopping combined with expert human recommendations for over 14 years, and continues to innovate today. Today we’re going to talk about how AI-based personalization plus human creativity and input makes an amazing customer experience at Stitch Fix. To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome Noah Zamansky, Vice President of Product and Client Experience at Stitch Fix.

Boosting Solar Efficiency with Perovskite Tech 21:10

21:10

Solar electricity generation is on the rise. In fact, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission reported in late 2023 that more new solar generating capacity was installed in the U.S. during the first eight months of 2023 than any other renewable or fossil fuel-based energy source. But imagine if the solar panels generating all this power were able to capture even more energy. That’s where perovskites are coming into play. Researchers have been investigating this nanomaterial for its ability to improve the efficiency of solar cells for years and commercialization could be on the horizon. Here to talk about perovskites and their potential here on Earth and even out in space is John Iannelli, president and founder of Caelux, a company that is working toward commercializing the use of perovskites to make solar energy more powerful and cost-effective.…
