AI insights from Microsoft's Mustafa Suleyman 🚀 Last night I had the privilege of attending an enlightening talk by Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, at Smith Square. His optimistic and visionary perspectives on AI innovation resonated. Key Takeaways: Education Revolution 📚: "Everyone will have a world-class tutor in their pocket. This profound shift in learning will significantly boost social mobility." Ethical Considerations: Suleyman discussed crucial topics such as AI ethics, regulation, child safety, and the future of humanity. Many Guinness Ventures portfolio companies have integrated AI into their businesses, including Aptem, Cera, Dragonfly AI, Obrizum, and Fifty. They're leveraging the power of AI to enhance efficiency and functionality across their operations. I left with a spring in my step - the evening reinforced my confidence in all the benefits AI will bring. As we navigate this exciting era, Guinness Ventures will be looking to identify and support the next wave of British growth companies. #AIInnovation #VentureCapital #FutureOfTech #UKTech #EIS #VCT

At Huddle Global 2024, Raul John Aju, an AI Tech Enthusiast, inspired us with his session on "Dream Big, Code Bigger - Shaping the Future with Technology." Raul shared his visionary perspective on how AI is influencing every aspect of our lives- from health and lifestyle to education and beyond. He emphasized how AI will soon become as integral to our education systems as computers were in the 90s, shaping a data-driven and accurate future. His words left us inspired to embrace AI not just as a tool but as a partner in building a better tomorrow. #HuddleGlobal2024 #HuddleGlobal #TechTalk #ArtificialIntelligence #InnovationHub #KeralaStartupMission #StartupEcosystem #FutureWithAI

I had a great couple of days at the #Ai4 conference in Las Vegas this week. A few key takeaways: Hallucination Interesting to note that information security was not as big of a concern as I expected. There was much more talk about "hallucination" (a #LLM responding as if it knows more than it does). Good news is there's lots of viable solutions already emerging. If you're not familiar, ask your favorite LLM how RAG will reduce hallucinations in GenAI...one of several clever, efficient solutions. AI and Employment Impact of AI on employment was a recurring theme. But an oft-repeated phrase during the conference put that into perspective: "Humans won't be replaced by AI. Humans will be replaced by humans using AI." Complex Use Cases If you've moved beyond having #ChatGPT make your travel plans and draft emails - to seek help in diagnosing problems, suggesting design alternatives, or assisting in project management - you're at the head of the class. Great examples of business people leveraging #GenAI for complex solutions are out there, but nowhere close to ubiquitous. Overall, I came away with a strengthened perception that the pace of technological disruption from AI is going to continue accelerating. It was cool to have spent two days observing it up close.
