Exploring Machine Learning with Salesforce

Machine Learning (ML) falls into three main categories: Supervised Learning, Unsupervised Learning, and Reinforcement Learning. Let’s dive into some issues and considerations that might leave you wondering if it’s even worth starting! Not embracing what Professor Stuart Russell called “the biggest event in human history” may be short-sighted. Don’t worry, Salesforce can help. Salesforce and Machine Learning Salesforce has a 20-year history of making complex technologies business-friendly. This extends to Machine Learning, integrating ML capabilities throughout the Salesforce Customer 360 suite, which includes solutions for Marketing, Commerce, Sales, Service, and Analytics, among others. Machine Learning in Action with Salesforce Marketing Imagine you’re in a marketing role. You want to predict the likelihood that a customer will engage with your campaigns to maximize effectiveness. Supervised Learning can help here by predicting subscriber engagement (opens, click-throughs, conversions) using historical data (90 days of engagement metrics). For example, using predictive Engagement Scoring, a Salesforce customer in the travel industry achieved a 66% drop in unsubscribe rates and a 13% revenue increase. You also want to ensure prospective customers can quickly find relevant products. Unsupervised Learning can personalize product assortments throughout the shopper journey by analyzing buying patterns, site browsing tendencies, and relationships between search terms and products. Using AI-powered Predictive Sort, businesses have seen a 9.1% increase in revenue per visitor and a 3.8% increase in conversion rates. Sales For sales teams handling many opportunities, predicting the quality of each Opportunity can help prioritize efforts. Supervised Learning, using historical data of at least 200 Closed/Won and 200 Closed/Lost Opportunities, can provide a prioritized list of Opportunities to maximize revenue potential. A large Salesforce customer in the consumer goods sector increased win rates by 48% by focusing on the best Opportunities. Service Post-sale customer support is crucial. Service agents need to address challenging cases efficiently. Supervised Learning can recommend articles to resolve current cases based on historical data from at least 1000 cases with knowledge base articles. A large electronics company using Salesforce AI-powered solutions saved 5 hours per agent per week, enhancing productivity. Simplifying Complex Technology Salesforce’s rich history of making complex technology accessible allows businesses to realize ML benefits without needing specialized knowledge. Traditional ML involves multiple steps like data collection, transformation, sampling, feature selection, model selection, score calibration, and integrating results. Salesforce simplifies this with a customizable data model, automated feature engineering, and automatic model building and selection. For example, in model selection, Salesforce runs a “model tournament” to choose the best model with varying hyper-parameters, ensuring the most accurate model is selected without requiring user intervention. Conclusion Salesforce abstracts the complexity of ML behind user-friendly interfaces, making it easier for businesses to leverage powerful technology. Whether it’s predicting customer engagement, personalizing shopping experiences, prioritizing sales opportunities, or enhancing customer support, Salesforce’s ML capabilities can drive significant business value.

Salesforce CRM Crucial for Transformation Driven by AI

Salesforce recently commission Forrester to wrangle up the state of AI. Overwhelmingly a CRM tool was found to be crucial for transformation driven by artificial intelligence. 89% of those surveyed said AI strategy and capability are top of mind when selecting a CRM partner. Tectonic is pleased to share our thoughts on the crucial role of Salesforce CRM for AI driven transformation. As companies increasingly adopt AI across various technologies, CRM is emerging as a crucial foundation for business transformation driven by AI. The interactions with customers generate substantial volumes of unstructured data from emails, meeting transcripts, phone conversations, and more. AI has the capability to distill this data into key insights and actionable next steps, thereby streamlining employee workflows and enhancing customer interactions. Today’s CRM customers are eager to leverage AI-powered CRMs to personalize front office content, address inquiries, and summarize customer interactions. Customers are rapidly integrating AI across most CRM use cases. According to Forrester’s research: The success of integrating AI capabilities into CRM relies heavily on data readiness. AI-powered CRMs depend on high-quality, well-structured, and clean data for informed predictions, personalized recommendations, and automation of various tasks. Respondents recognize the criticality of data readiness, with 92% emphasizing the importance of a strong data strategy for AI success. However, despite this awareness, many respondents are rushing to implement AI before achieving data readiness, with only 34% having a formal data strategy integrated across the business. Not only is Salesforce CRM a great choice for your digital AI transformation. Salesforce Data Cloud assists in ingesting and unifying data, ensuring your data is ready. Are you aware of the Salesforce Data Cloud license offer? Data readiness practices are generally low, as indicated by respondents ranking their organization’s level of data readiness into three bands: A, B, and C. Twenty-seven percent have ad hoc data initiatives and lack a formal strategy (band A), 39% have a formal data strategy but it is not integrated across the business (band B), and only 34% have a formal strategy integrated across the business (band C). Data readiness is critical for AI-powered CRM, as incomplete or unreliable data may lead to inaccurate and incomplete AI models, risking adverse outcomes. Data remains a primary challenge in Customer Relationship Management, with respondents highlighting data quality issues, extensive reliance on manual processes to synthesize data, and a lack of internal data skills as their top challenges. It’s essential to address these challenges, especially when incorporating generative AI features into an organization’s CRM, as genAI specifically requires a significant amount of data for successful implementation. Tectonic is ready to help you assess your data, implement Salesforce CRM, and experience an AI driven transformation. Contact Tectonic today for a trusted Salesforce partner to assist with your AI driven transformation.

The Promise of AI in Health Outcomes
16Dec

The Promise of AI in Health Outcomes

As President Biden has highlighted, artificial intelligence (AI) holds tremendous promise and potential peril. This is especially true in healthcare. On October 30, the President underscored his commitment by signing a landmark Executive Order aimed at governing AI development and use to improve health outcomes for Americans while safeguarding their security and privacy. The Biden-Harris Administration is leveraging every tool at its disposal to advance responsible AI in healthcare. However, U.S. government action alone cannot achieve the bold vision laid out by the President. By integrating AI into their platform, Salesforce aims to empower public health organizations with actionable insights and predictive analytics. From disease surveillance to population health management, AI-driven solutions have the potential to revolutionize how we approach public health initiatives. Therefore, policy priorities include managing and measuring the environmental impacts of AI by requiring emissions disclosures, adding environmental impact as a risk factor, and establishing efficiency standards for high-risk AI systems. In response to the Administration’s leadership, leading healthcare providers and payers have announced voluntary commitments to the safe, secure, and trustworthy use of AI in healthcare. These commitments build on ongoing efforts by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the AI Executive Order, and earlier commitments from 15 leading AI companies to develop models responsibly. Today, 28 providers and payers have joined these commitments, including Allina Health, Bassett Healthcare Network, Boston Children’s Hospital, Curai Health, CVS Health, Devoted Health, Duke Health, Emory Healthcare, Endeavor Health, Fairview Health Systems, Geisinger, Hackensack Meridian, HealthFirst (Florida), Houston Methodist, John Muir Health, Keck Medicine, Main Line Health, Mass General Brigham, Medical University of South Carolina Health, Oscar, OSF HealthCare, Premera Blue Cross, Rush University System for Health, Sanford Health, Tufts Medicine, UC San Diego Health, UC Davis Health, and WellSpan Health. The commitments align with the “FAVES” principles—Fair, Appropriate, Valid, Effective, and Safe. Under these principles, companies commit to informing users when they receive content that is largely AI-generated and not reviewed by humans. They will adhere to a risk management framework to monitor and address potential harms of AI applications. Additionally, they pledge to develop AI solutions responsibly, advancing health equity, expanding access to care, making care affordable, improving care coordination, reducing clinician burnout, and enhancing patient experiences. Healthcare is an essential service, and quality care can be a matter of life and death. AI-enabled tools used for clinical decisions must undergo appropriate testing, risk mitigations, and human oversight to avoid costly or dangerous errors. AI diagnoses can be biased if not trained on diverse data, and AI’s data-collection capabilities could create privacy risks. Addressing these risks is crucial. Despite these risks, AI holds enormous potential to benefit patients, doctors, and hospital staff. AI can help doctors deliver higher-quality, more empathetic care and cut healthcare costs by hundreds of billions of dollars annually. It can also help patients make more informed health choices by better understanding their conditions and needs. Consider some examples: Each year, hospitals produce 3.6 billion medical images worldwide. AI helps doctors analyze images more quickly and effectively, detecting signs of breast cancer, lung nodules, and other conditions earlier than ever before. AI is also streamlining drug development, matching drug targets with new molecules faster and cheaper, translating to better care for patients. Additionally, new generative AI applications can alleviate clinician burnout by automating data extraction, form population, note recording, and patient communications. The Promise of AI in Health Outcomes To understand AI applications and the necessary risk-mitigation measures, the Biden-Harris Administration has engaged with healthcare providers, payers, academia, civil society, and other stakeholders. These engagements have informed the Administration’s approach, including the President’s October AI Executive Order, which tasks HHS with a wide range of actions to advance safe, secure, and trustworthy AI. These actions include developing frameworks, policies, and potential regulations for responsible AI deployment, documenting AI-related safety incidents, prioritizing grants for innovation in underserved communities, and ensuring compliance with nondiscrimination laws in AI deployment in healthcare. The private-sector commitments announced today are a critical step in our whole-of-society effort to advance AI for the health and well-being of Americans. These 28 providers and payers have stepped up, and we hope more will join these commitments in the coming weeks. The Promise of AI in Health Outcomes has been addressed by governments everywhere. In March 2024, Salesforce strengthened its AI commitment to healthcare. Salesforce’s Einstein 1 Platform powers Einstein Copilot with your healthcare organization’s unique data and metadata from Data Cloud to capture and summarize patient details, quickly update patient and member information, and automate manual processes Assessment Generation digitizes paper assessments and surveys to capture and track patient data Customers like Baptist Health South Florida and HarmonyCares are using Salesforce to personalize patient interactions and create a single, unified view of each patient Today, Salesforce announced AI and data innovations for CRM to help make healthcare operations more efficient and personalized. Einstein Copilot: Health Actions, a conversational AI assistant that will deliver trusted AI responses grounded with your healthcare organization’s own trusted and private data, Assessment Generation, and Data Cloud for Health help automate and streamline clinical summaries, deliver more personalized communication, and help compile tailored patient assessments faster for care teams, all from a single platform. These new innovations are powered by Salesforce’s Einstein 1 Platform, which helps organizations safely unlock their data to create better patient experiences and augment employee productivity. Why it matters: Nearly a quarter of U.S. healthcare spending is wasted on administrative costs, presenting a potential cost savings of up to $320 billion for healthcare organizations, according to McKinsey and Co. AI could be the solution, with recent Forrester data revealing that 82% of healthcare data leaders say AI is a top focus area that will drive operational efficiency.  Content updated April 2024.

Chat GPT and Salesforce

It’s more likely that you vacationed on Gilligan’s island than remain unfamiliar with ChatGPT. Since its introduction, this tool has emerged as an essential extension to Salesforce solutions, owing to its remarkable generative AI capabilities. From automating content creation to validating rules ChatGPT excels in some areas. By crafting Apex code, developing Lightning Web Components (LWC), summarizing conversations, and composing knowledge articles, ChatGPT has demonstrated its value. The integration of Chat GPT and Salesforce holds the potential to streamline substantial segments of organizational processes, leading to significant time savings. This not only enhances CRM data management, now fortified by generative AI, but also elevates the customer experience to unprecedented heights. While Salesforce has its own Einstein AI tools, Chat GPT and Salesforce remain a viable tool combination. This article will explore in detail how ChatGPT can seamlessly integrate with Salesforce. Understanding ChatGPT: When I questioned ChatGPT about its nature, and its response is as follows: ChatGPT is a language model created by OpenAI. It operates as a deep generative language neural network, having been trained on an extensive volumes of text to generate coherent and meaningful responses to user queries and commands. In essence, ChatGPT is essentially a chatbot, akin to Einstein bots. However, it distinguishes itself with its robust capabilities. Developed on the OpenAI GPT-3.5 family of large language models, incorporating both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques, ChatGPT has been trained on an extensive dataset of internet text up until January 2022. It excels in natural language processing tasks such as text generation, question answering, translation, and text classification. The underlying technology of ChatGPT is sophisticated, evolving continually through the application of machine learning and deep learning techniques. In 2023, OpenAI introduced two new models: ChatGPT-3.5 Turbo and ChatGPT-4, with the latter being notably superior. For instance, GPT-4 is multimodal, adept at processing both textual and visual inputs, comprehending and describing images effectively. It has also reduced the likelihood of generating nonsensical or “AI hallucinations” by 19-29%. In terms of security, GPT-4 incorporates robust measures from the outset, generating only 0.73% “toxic” responses compared to GPT-3.5’s 6.48%. It excels in maintaining context, with enhanced memory of the conversation, and improved context length to handle more extensive inputs. In summary, the mentioned improvements position GPT-4 as a more advanced and versatile option. ChatGPT Models: Every AI tool relies on models to discern patterns and make decisions from data. The OpenAI API is powered by a family of models with distinct capabilities and pricing scales. Users can also tailor their base models for specific use cases.

Here are several Chat GPT and Salesforce use cases: Precautions with ChatGPT: While ChatGPT proves beneficial in areas like marketing, sales, and service, its application across the organization should be approached with caution. It’s a powerful tool, offering coherent and logical responses, but it cannot replace every role in every area. As of now, it functions as a valuable virtual assistant for specific tasks, but it shouldn’t be the sole source of information.

According to the “Generative AI Trends for Sales” report, 73% of sales professionals express concerns about the security risks associated with this technology, with 49% admitting to not knowing how to use it safely at work. Additionally, ChatGPT often lacks context, leading to potential inaccuracies in responses. Therefore, Salesforce recommends taking the following precautions before adopting any integration of Chat GPT and Salesforce: It’s essential not to overestimate ChatGPT while still leveraging its advantages.

How Data Cloud and Salesforce Success Depend on Data Quality

Optimizing AI’s Impact on Your Business: The Crucial Role of Data Quality in Salesforce In the ever-evolving digital landscape, the convergence of data quality and artificial intelligence (AI) is a linchpin for organizational success. Success depends on data quality within the Salesforce ecosystem. The synergy between Einstein, an advanced AI system, and Data Cloud underscores the pivotal role of high-quality, comprehensive, and real-time data. Thereby unleashing the full potential of AI-driven insights and interactions with customers and prospects. Let’s explore how data quality profoundly influences these two emerging features. This insight will be shedding light on the repercussions of poor data quality and how Einstein and Data Cloud can elevate your organization to greater levels of sales success. Understanding Data Value Depends on Data Quality: Quality data extends beyond merely addressing duplicate records or inaccurate phone numbers It isn’t just about ensuring the area code field doesn’t contain zip codes. It is more than aligning contacts to accounts. It encompasses factors such as completeness, accuracy, and timeliness in your CRM: Consequences of Bad Data: Poor-quality data leads to inefficiencies and wasted time. Oftentimes causing flawed decision-making and strains on organizational resources. More critically, these poor business decisions often lead to tangible financial losses. Transforming bad data into quality data is imperative. Quality is key for relying on it to enhance company performance, requiring ongoing strategies rather than a one-stop solution. The Financial Impact of Accurate Data: Accurate data holds immense value. With data volumes projected to exceed 180 zettabytes by 2025, organizations must harness the power of their data. Proactive handling of data quality not only ensures higher data quality but also mitigates the financial impact of poor data quality. The sooner a plan is implemented to enhance and sustain data quality, the fewer negative repercussions organizations face in leveraging their data for growth. Your next decision is based on your last data. Is it going to help you or hurt you? Salesforce Einstein and the GIGO Principle: Salesforce Einstein, positioned as Artificial Intelligence for everyone, underscores trust as a core value. The system’s ability to create relevant and timely content and interactions is contingent on the quality of the data it operates on. Similar to the historical concept of “Garbage In, Garbage Out” (GIGO), AI results are only as reliable and valuable as the completeness and accuracy of the input data. No surprise, right? Introduction to Salesforce Data Cloud: Enter Salesforce Data Cloud, a platform allowing the organization and segmentation of customer data from any source. This open, extensible platform enables data enrichment from various sources, creating an optimal customer record. This enriched record empowers Sales, Service, and Marketing teams to perform intelligently and swiftly, ultimately driving enhanced results for the company. The WIIFM Factor: Amidst discussions about AI and Data Cloud, addressing the “What’s in it for me?” (WIIFM) question is crucial for organization adoption. Individual organizations must evaluate the reliability and accuracy of their data and determine forward-looking strategies for maintaining quality data, regardless of the source. The common theme remains: for data to yield valuable insights, it must be complete, timely, relevant, and accurate. Ultimately, success depends on data quality. Like3 Related Posts Who is Salesforce?
