⭐ 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭, 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐈: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 My startup mentoring sessions have become exciting lately. I’ve noticed a clear pattern with early-stage startups reaching out for guidance. They fall into two distinct buckets: 1️⃣ Those focusing on 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑨𝑰 into their products. 2️⃣ Those focusing on 𝑨𝑰 𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒔. The first group tends to dive straight into the tech. Their questions revolve around which AI models to use, what tech stack to build, or how to fine-tune and optimize their algorithms. It’s a highly tech-driven conversation from the get-go. The second group, however, starts differently. They begin with the use case—discussing the problem they’ve identified, the gaps in the market, and how they can solve it. Only after that do we explore if and how AI could add value. I find these 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 much more enriching. Why? Because we aren’t rushing to assume that AI is some magical fix. Instead, we invest time in understanding the problem and where technology, including AI, can act as an enabler rather than the solution itself. 🔑 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐬: Focus on the problem your product is solving before jumping into tech discussions. It’s tempting to force-fit AI into every product just because it’s a hot trend. But trust me—if AI isn’t genuinely needed, it could end up consuming valuable resources and delaying your time to market. 𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒎 𝒎𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒓𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝑨𝑰 𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍. 🧠 #StartupMentoring #AI #TechStrategy #ProductDevelopment #UseCaseDriven #Innovation #AIInStartups

On December 10, 2024, Innovation & Insights (i2) NAV, in collaboration with the SMU Artificial Intelligence Club , hosted an insightful session focused on the transformative power of GenAI in today’s world. 🚀 We had over 30 participants join us, from students to professionals, eager to learn more about how GenAI is shaping various industries. We were honored to have Assel M. , Founder and Chief Learning Officer of EDUTech Future, as our guest speaker. Key Takeaways from the Event: Breaking the barrier to entry in tech: Many people think that in order to break into the tech world, you need to know how to code. Assel encouraged us to remove this stigma and eliminate the self-imposed barriers we think we have. Tech and AI will continue to evolve, and the beauty of it is that you can learn it at any time, regardless of your background. Assel herself entered the tech space with zero experience, and today, she’s empowering thousands of others to do the same. The ups and downs of startups: Assel shared that starting a business is never a smooth ride. Failing is an important part of the process because it teaches you what needs to be improved and when to pivot. As a startup, it’s not just about making money; it’s about understanding how to provide true value to your customers and meet them where they are. The journey may be tough, but it’s through failure that startups learn and grow. Skills for thriving in an AI-driven world: For students looking to thrive in a world where AI is becoming more prevalent, Assel emphasized the importance of developing problem-solving skills, critical thinking, creativity, and communication. These are the essential skills that distinguish humans from AI and will continue to be in demand, no matter how advanced AI becomes. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and actively participated in the discussion! 🙏 Your energy and curiosity made this event a huge success, and we’re excited for more opportunities to learn, grow, and connect. Looking forward to seeing how GenAI continues to shape the future and empower individuals and businesses alike! ✨ #GenAI #TechInclusion #StartupJourney #AIImpact #SkillsForTheFuture #Networking #GrowthMindset
