Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are in a precarious position as frenemies to most other Foundation Model developers (e.g. companies building ChatGPT competitors). They act as both competitor and provider of critical infrastructure. A…lnkd.in/eSBPdMBC lnkd.in/eXemvcW8

More legal woes for OpenAI and their use of copyrighted data to train ChatGPT and their other LLM models. lnkd.in/eja-ym4u

ChatGPT, which is the MASCOT for Generative AI, had its first Month-over-Month drop is users since it launched (lnkd.in/eE_aQ3gA). I think this definitely means the first wave (the "shiny new toy" wave) has probably crested. However, with all the…lnkd.in/erGFeW-a

Indeed - not great when one of the biggest tech companies in the world admits to hoovering up data across the entire internet. I'd hate to be an artist with an online gallery or a writer with a distinctive style. It won't be long before Google products ca…lnkd.in/e8jTGNbw

A simple framework for determining if AI can help you solve a current business problem: 1. Is there an unknown about the present or a question about the future? (e.g. "how much will we sell of product X next month?" or "why are my machines failing?") 2.…lnkd.in/eKbtCkc8

The latest lawsuit against OpenAI is a fun and wild read (FIVE mentions of civilization collapse). However, let's remember this lawsuit is being spearheaded by a law firm specializing in class actions, and large companies like Open…lnkd.in/e-YN-cCF lnkd.in/eXyKT7yi

If you see someone selling "ChatGPT for XYZ", a few things you should think about before buying anything or giving them your time. They are more like roofers after a hailstorm than a credible vendor market. 1. 50% of them won't exist 12 months from now.…lnkd.in/eHZnahEu

EXECUTIVE: We want to develop a Generative AI strategy and use it to achieve better business outcomes. ME: Great! What are you already doing with more traditional Machine Learning techniques? EXECUTIVE: Nothing. ** STOP ** Generative AI is the big shi…lnkd.in/eXqnwHi2

2023 has seen the arrival of "Shadow AI" - the unsanctioned and prolific use of AI tools across companies with potentially (very) harmful consequences! A responsible AI policy and strategy can help mitigate this risk. We all know…lnkd.in/eDqD7wZ9 lnkd.in/e4fVeu_b

One of the best enterprise AI leaders I've worked with had no background in AI when he started down that path. His background and job was in corporate finance. However, he had real problems to solve and an open mind to new solutions. He came across AI as…lnkd.in/ebQWbvnn

Success with AI projects always starts with a plan and leadership commitment - not data and modeling. If you don't have a great plan for development & implementation, and you don't have business leaders committed to the success of the project who are wi…lnkd.in/eTYAdNuM

I find all the talk recently about "model collapse" and LLMs trained on data generated by other LLMs (e.g. ChatGPT) to be eerily evocative of the 2008 financial crisis and the layered risks created by tranched mortgage-backed securities. There is an appea…lnkd.in/eRyujkUp

Most people talking about Generative AI are WAY out over their skis. They probably can't tell you the difference between a #transformer model and an #XGBoost model (if those sound like comic book terms to you, just trust me - they are relevant terms in ma…lnkd.in/eVTvAEgK

This podcast also explains exactly why we shouldn't worry about AI displacing software engineers. Government organizations are notorious for building terrible software systems (have you ever tried to buy an I-bond on treasury…lnkd.in/eZCktWCh lnkd.in/eR-MZCyj

How to build you own ChatGPT mini-App in less than 5 minutes with ZERO coding skills: 1. Create a developer account and get an API key from OpenAI. Don't worry about the credit card - you can play around with it all day and still not rack up $1 worth of…lnkd.in/e2wrsheR

The state of Generative AI startups is looking eerily similar to "The MoviePass Economy" - an industry of startups heavily subsidized by venture capital but with terrible and unsustainable unit economics. Starting with Uber then…lnkd.in/eP2GsjAK lnkd.in/eZ967xnB

What might be the biggest impediment to realizing business value from AI? I think it's AI literacy. Quite simply, too many business leaders don't have a sufficient understanding of how machine learning actually works, what it is capable of, and what leve…lnkd.in/e_qUG2SN

McKinsey & Company says "about half" of their employees are using Generative AI in their work today. Why? Consultants (like lawyers, marketers, researchers, and many others) are word merchants. They get paid to assemble words in a…lnkd.in/ehUCi5fw lnkd.in/exNTycNP

AI is a means to an end. We lose sight of this too often. In yesterday's @Apple keynote to announce a flood of developments, including revealing their first new major product line in almost a decade (#VisionPro), Apple didn't use…lnkd.in/eQSvb6yC lnkd.in/eqjkaQAx
