From the lessons of China's hyper-competitive e-commerce ‘bloodbath’ to the practical reality of using AI to be more productive, how can businesses navigate today's biggest trends? Our guest, a former Alibaba executive, is here to cut through the hype.

Author and keynote speaker Sharon Gai joins us to share her unique perspective, drawing on lessons from her book "E-commerce Reimagined" and her upcoming book "How to Do More with Less Using AI." She discusses the common misconceptions about the Chinese e-commerce market and argues that businesses should focus on practical AI applications to solve real-world bottlenecks.

We discuss:

• Key misconceptions about China's hyper-competitive e-commerce market.

• The most practical, "low-hanging fruit" application for AI in business: productivity.

• How to identify which repetitive tasks are ready for AI automation.

• Why "hybrid intelligence"—strategic human-AI collaboration—is the optimal approach.

• The key lessons from past technology hype cycles.
