Co-founder & CEO @ Similar.ai | An OG in AI | Sharing my thoughts on the philosophy of AI 🤖

I’ve recently surpassed 4000 followers, so perhaps it’s time for a brief re-introduction. Hello 👋 I’m Robin. And this isn’t like other LinkedIn pages. I’ve been an OG in AI since the 80s, before AI even existed, and it still fascinates me to this day. As the technology explodes in both progress and popularity, so have the conversations around it – which happen to be maybe one of my favourite things in the world. So I want you to follow me not just because I have something to talk about, but also because I love talking WITH people. If you’ve got opinions, insight, or even just a passing interest in AI, the philosophy behind it, or the technical applications of it, give me a follow. You don’t have to agree with my points of view. In fact, I’d prefer if you didn’t – debate is where we find the way forward on: 🤖 What intelligence, consciousness and sentience actually are  🤖 Where these things overlap and where they differ 🤖 How we test for these things (and whether we can trust the tests!) 🤖 Where we go next Lovely to meet you, I look forward to our future discussions!

Robin Allenson, it was a real pleasure to meet you last week and talk with you. I look forward to further discussions about AI and other deep tech and how we make sense of these new capabilities.

Congratulations Robin for this milestone 🚀🚀 So important to have AI OGs like you to share your thoughts and opinions, as you’ve seen many AI breakthroughs, hypes and winters. Wonder whether you think this current excitement is different?
