#weekendread Generative AI startups are sprouting up everywhere, integrating AI into almost every aspect of tech. But before you leap into healthcare AI, it's vital to understand the game-changing implications of the EU AI Act. This legal framework, designed to foster innovation while safeguarding fundamental rights and values, introduces a new layer of complexity for health tech startups. Ethical AI expert Bart De Witte offers a provocative perspective on navigating these regulations. In the wake of the compelling panel on the EU AI Act at DMEA - Connecting Digital Health 2024, we turned to Bart to unpack how early-stage startups can thrive amidst these changes. Key Questions to Ponder: 👉 Are You Ready for Compliance? How well do you understand the EU AI Act and its regulatory demands? 👉 Ethical AI Development: Are you embedding ethical considerations into your AI from the start, not just as an afterthought? 👉 Expertise on Board: Do you have the right legal and ethical experts to guide you through these complexities? Bart's insights are a wake-up call for #startups to rethink their #strategies and ensure they're not just compliant, but # ethically sound and innovation-ready. For those eager to stay ahead in the healthcare AI revolution, this read could be really interesting 👇 https://lnkd.in/d8PpjJAy #healthcareAI #EUAIACT #healthtechstartups #innovation #ethicalAI #bartdewitte #DMEA2024 #AIregulation #startupadvice #berlinstartup #visionhealthpioneersincubator

Good to be quoted on #Euractiv today about the upcoming initiatives of the Commission to boost #AI #startups and innovation. "Computing infrastructure is a prohibitively expensive component of AI and this creates high barriers for startups to enter the market. That's why the Commission's proposal is so important: by providing computing as a public good it allows more #SMEs to build their own models rather than rely on Big Tech products. Going forward, the global AI race requires ever larger investments. Compared with the reported 16.5 billion € global investment only in the first quarter 2023, the Commission budget is little. It can only work if it leverages investments from the private sector. That is why it is essential that the Commission work closely with European AI companies, large and small, to draw a mid to long-term strategy for AI leadership. The Alliance represents 45.000 innovative SMEs and is ready to advise the Commission on the implementation of its programs." European DIGITAL SME Alliance

One for my network in the Nordics and Benelux 💡 I was curious to learn that the European Commission will be launching new initiatives to support and encourage AI innovation across nations and create its own AI ecosystem. Targeted at smaller businesses and startups, these include everything from education and reskilling programmes to financial support. It’s no secret that startups are hungry for growth - and that a variety of perspectives are needed to further the AI revolution. Providing smaller enterprises with resources to innovate and develop can naturally encourage diversity of thought, and increase AI’s overall success. https://lnkd.in/efhxMsin #AI #Europe #GenAI #Innovation #Growth #Transformation

I've recently been diving into AI tools and I've been continually amazed by the potential they hold. The capabilities of AI are reshaping the foundations of how businesses operate, offering unprecedented opportunities for innovation and efficiency. 🔨 Building with AI: AI is no longer just a support tool; it's become central to business operations. From customer service bots to predictive analytics in supply chain management, AI can replace or enhance key functions, offering a scalable and efficient alternative to traditional methods. The idea of building a company with AI at its core is now a tangible reality, with technology enabling startups to compete with established players by leveraging AI's efficiency and insights. 🤝 Implementation Challenges: Despite the potential, integrating AI into business operations is not without its hurdles. The initial setup can be complex, and there's often a need for ongoing maintenance to ensure the tools remain effective and up-to-date with the latest advancements. This complexity can deter businesses from fully committing to AI integration, highlighting the need for more user-friendly solutions. 🚀 Keeping Pace with AI Evolution: The AI landscape is constantly evolving, with new tools and updates emerging at a rapid pace. Staying informed about the best tools—whether paid or free—is crucial, yet challenging. The dynamic nature of the technology requires a proactive approach to learning and adaptation, ensuring that businesses can leverage the most effective and innovative solutions. 💼 The Rise of AI Consultants: This evolving environment presents a clear opportunity for consultants specializing in AI. There's a significant demand, particularly among mid-sized businesses, for expert guidance in selecting, integrating, and maintaining AI tools. These businesses, which have the resources to invest and a lot at stake, often lack the in-house expertise to navigate the complex AI ecosystem effectively. I believe we're just scratching the surface of what's possible with AI in business. I'm interested to hear about your experiences with AI tools and the challenges you've faced. How do you see the role of AI consultants evolving to meet these needs? As we continue to explore the vast potential of AI, let's embrace the opportunities and tackle the challenges head-on. The journey of integrating AI into our businesses is complex but undoubtedly rewarding, paving the way for a new era of innovation and efficiency. #AIForStartups #StartupInnovation #TechEntrepreneurship #DigitalTransformation #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfWork #MachineLearning #InnovationLeadership #BusinessAutomation #TechTrends

𝗔𝗜'𝘀 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗔 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗘𝗿𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘀 Executives across a variety of industries are awakened to a startling revelation regarding artificial intelligence (AI): it’s not merely an add-on or a supplemental feature for today’s emerging startups; rather, it stands as the very bedrock upon which their success is built. I recently had the privilege of exploring a machine learning (ML) core startup that truly encapsulates this paradigm shift. From the very beginning of their journey, AI was not simply a tool in their toolkit; it served as the foundational blueprint guiding every strategy, decision, and innovation they pursued. This strategic integration of AI into their DNA has uniquely empowered them to function on an entirely different plane, outpacing competitors and redefining the realms of possibility. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆: The profound integration of AI at such a foundational level represents not merely an evolution but a genuine revolution in the way companies are constructed and operate. Hinging on this technological advancement, are we bearing witness to the emergence of a new breed of startups, wherein AI is not just an option but the cornerstone of sustained success? This is a question worth contemplating as we navigate this dynamic landscape. #AIStartups #BusinessInnovation #MachineLearning #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfWor
