Roy NgWe now shifts our focus from start-up unicorns to unicorns for successful IPOs to CEOs eager to build the next billion-dollar company.
David Barrett began programming at the age of 6 and has been eager to become a Expense Reporting giant since then.
David teamed up with Travis Kalanick to build a peerto-
The peer-to-peer file transfer technology called Red Swoosh, acquired by Akamai in 2007.
After David left Akamai in 2008 to start spending, he has been mitigating the world's setbacks, one expense report at a time.
The smartest companies in the world are using expensive fees.
DisrupTV stars David Barrett, CEO of Expensify 7. 15.
Constellation studies from Vimeo.
David was initially interested in the expense report.
But now that he's here, he realizes it's an amazing opportunity to be ignored --
I like search engines very much.
Google is the 21 search engine, and all previous search engines ignored this huge opportunity before 1998.
Expnsify is now doing the same thing for expense reports, affecting every business in every country, every industry and individual.
Barrett was surprised that so many entrepreneurs ignored this huge opportunity.
Ray and I quickly realized that Barrett was very focused on artificial intelligence.
How can I get the best personal help in the world?
This is the question that Expensify is trying to answer.
The problem that AI is trying to solve is to develop a system that understands your needs based on the purchase data and future needs and provides advice in a real waytime.
Barrett gave us incredible examples and use cases in our conversation.
Barrett describes the current business travel experience and then 1-
2 years of glory, very attractive.
Future business travel is active, personalized and fast.
Expensify will be the smartest business travel aid
Someone who understands your preferences and provides advice that meets your current and future needs very accurately.
Barrett is very creative and forward looking.
He is very pragmatic and optimistic about the future business travel experience.
"Real artificial intelligence is not a long, complicated conversation with something.
It will have enough knowledge of you, it will ask you something, you just have to answer yes or no.
I won't bother you.
"If it has to talk to you for that long, that's too bad," Barrett said . ".
AI in the future will be very humble and ask you questions with caution, you just accept or refuse.
The future of artificial intelligence is iteration and selflearning.
Barrett also talked about touch screen technology, and what we imagined in the film Minority Report, as well as the volatility of multiple reports, which was replaced by a touch screen today --
The reality is that today's touch experience is a simple click.
Expensive artificial intelligence will be more powerful than many giants like Facebook and Google that focus on artificial intelligence, because expensive artificial intelligence will learn about your consumption history --
Where do you shop, eat, transport, hotel preferences and more.
It's not about having a lot of data, it's about how the data is related to each other.

Network of friends, family and colleagues
Link to your purchase history and the degree of customization that can be delivered using machines and deep learning algorithms.
Wang pointed out that digital ethics and the use of surprisingly advanced technologies require the orchestration of trust and privacy.
Barrett believes that privacy and trust are at the heart of the business model.
Ultimately, data must create value for people who have it.
"Artificial intelligence is good at privacy protection.
You can program AI to access only specific rows in the database.
"It's much harder to train a person in the same process," Barrett said . ".
Barrett is very focused on improving the customer experience using analytics and emerging technologies.
