Yes, you see comments from Johan Cedmar-Brandstedt in practically every LinkedIn post about AI, sparring with and raging against the generative AI cultural firehose.  But what does he sound like?  Did he actually start the #degenerativeai hashtag?  Is he really Swedish?  People, this is the podcast interview you didn’t even know you were asking for. #ai #podcasting #artificialintelligence #podcast #generativeai #technology

When it comes to AI adoption, is your organization a consumer, integrator, or creator? Our in-house expert on the topic, Douglas Smith, explored this spectrum with us on the latest #podcast episode, out now! Give it a listen and let me know your thoughts 🤗🎧

So many executives repeat utilising AI in their business without knowing how, or from where to start. This podcast explains how to begin using AI #ai #aiforbusiness

Was chatting with another investor today on a call, and mentioned Tim Urban's Wait But Why Blog post, "The AI Revolution" and how prescient it was. Given that it was written in 2015, decided to flex AI's latest muscles to give it a new venue: a podcast. Podcast here: https://lnkd.in/gW8Dh89U Pretty easy to do: Step 1: Save the posts as PDFs. Step 2: Upload to NotebookLM, have it create a podcast. Step 3: Upload to Descript, give it captions. Step 4: Export, publish to Youtube. Total time to create the podcast: ~25 minutes. To generate this podcast and publish it even a few years ago would have taken >8 hours. Love the future (Original posts: https://lnkd.in/gW-PQXE7, https://lnkd.in/gg-nRvxz) #AIRevolution #GenerativeAI #WaitButWhy #TimUrban #NotebookLM #AIContentCreation #Podcasting #Descript #ArtificialIntelligence #ContentFlex #ProductivityHacks #FutureOfAI #AIinMinutes #TechEfficiency #AIandCreativity #YouTubePodcast #InnovationInContent #vibecap #vibecapital

𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗔𝗜 as a whole have leapfrogged while many of us watched from the sidelines, trying to catch up. With countless concepts and acronyms, it feels daunting - but there's so much opportunity to learn, build, and grow. With AI moving so fast, it is a good idea to map the terrain before diving in. The journey starts with understanding—and what an exciting one it is! Thankfully, Emily Laird podcast 𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑨𝑰 101 gave that starting point! Her short, insightful episodes are perfect for grasping the big picture — history, evolution, key concepts, and the current landscape. Emily’s witty comments and relatable analogies make complex ideas accessible, and her sign-off, ‘you know more [𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘤] now than you did when you arrived,’ couldn’t be truer. Highly recommend this starter pack for anyone exploring GenAI! Thank you, Emily, for making learning so fun and engaging. 🙌 #generativeai #artificialintelligence #techtrends #aiinnovation #learningjourney #aiapplications #futureoftech #continuouslearning #aiexploration #techcommunity #podcast FYI The podcast is available on amazon, audible, spotify and many other sources.

Julie Alig, Ph.D. - the Data Diva - joined me on AI for Helpers and Changemakers. You can listen to our conversation about how we use #data in nonprofits and business and how generative AI is changing everything - even for someone like Julie who has been well versed in #AI and #machine learning for a long time. This episode goes a little deeper into explaining AI and the difference between Generative AI and earlier types of artificial intelligence. #podcast https://lnkd.in/gY7223nJ

Thanks again Ashleigh N. Faith for bringing us together every year for this forecasting/brainstorming session. To give you all a flavor for what's in this video, here are a few abbreviated and paraphrased sample exchanges with approximate time hacks from our discussion: Speakers AF: Ashleigh Faith KC: Kurt Cagle AM: Alan Morrison 1:00 AF: Agent hype. How should we be thinking about agents in a generative AI context? 2:00 AM: Agent historical context is decades old. Current status in some ways, the workflow aspect addresses the same space as BPR did in the previous century. Potential for current agent-based systems given the dominant power structure to reinforce the Software Wasteland status quo, still just point-to-point connectors, protecting the installed base and cash cow of incumbents. 5:00 KC: Where’s the decentralization we need? Could be coming starting in 2025. Agents ideally are autonomous nodes. But we’re still in centralized, client-server mode with a single central client. There’s still a single big CPU there–we just call it an LLM today….Not truly autonomous systems. Big centralized systems are not independent agents. AF: Decrease of UX imminent; you don’t necessarily need a UX. Talk to your graph. You’re doing all of the filtering in the query that way. KC: Agree that this is happening. What really scares me is that you don’t know what’s going on. Need for governance. Stochastic tools are great. Great at confabulation. A very good lying machine. But they’re not databases. Don’t treat everything as a database. AM: But data and the need for established facts and rules in the data as a necessary precursor. Thus the Financial Data Transparency Act. AF: KGs aren’t magical…. 21:48 KC: And most aren’t truly knowledge graphs. There aren’t many good ones out there. Information evolves. Most KGs haven’t gotten to the notion of evolution. Take time into account. Things might be correct at one time, but not another. 21:50 AF: My most popular video is on KG versioning–a very hard thing to do! Data sharing across boundaries is possible; I’ve seen this in standards orgs. 24:00 AM: That’s where the value of knowledge graphs is realized. Boundary crossing with the help of KGs is happening in financial reporting, in drug discovery. Supply chains should be the next to take fuller advantage. 37:00 AF: How much does it actually cost to run an AI to clean out your inbox? Staggering cost of centralized AI…. 38:00 AM: And the even bigger challenge of getting the AI we want. Our community needs to punch above its weight class. Only 20 percent of enterprises are proactive about their IT. Maybe only one percent are trying to do the most beneficial thing when it comes to data-centric architecture, management via semantic metadata, knowledge graph-level sharing…. Don’t want an oligarchy’s version of AI that doesn’t square with our values.
