For about 18 months now, I’ve been talking about ‘Agentic AI‘ – software that acts on your behalf. Yesterday, I stumbled upon Anthropic’s ‘Computer Use’ tool, which carries out instructions on your computer. It’s one of the first publicly available LLM-based AI agents interacting with computer interfaces like a human. Check out their two-minute video […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) lately, and I’ve realised that it’s not some far-off future tech. It’s already here, right under our noses. Now, I know what you’re thinking. ‘Where’s the robot butler then?’ But AGI isn’t about physical tasks like tying shoelaces. While a toddler can do that, they […]
I recently teamed up with the ever-charming Maria Franzoni, to create a series of short Zoom interviews exploring the impact of AI, future trends, and the exciting opportunities ahead. For machines to reach human-level intelligence (AGI – Artificial General Intelligence) is a huge deal. But, the Turing Test — can a machine convince a human […]
Through trial and error over thousands of years, we’ve done something amazing: we’ve made sand think! How did we work out that by melting it, adding a few impurities, and arranging it precisely at unimaginably small scales, we would create microchips — the foundation of the modern world! When we run energy through these chips, […]
I recently teamed up with first among equals, Maria Franzoni, to create a series of short Zoom interviews exploring the impact of AI, future trends, and the exciting opportunities ahead. AI models like ChatGPT are at a crossroads where for some, the hype doesn’t match the reality. Smaller businesses are jumping in, while larger companies […]
I recently teamed up with the peerless and brilliant Maria Franzoni to create a series of short Zoom interviews exploring the impact of AI, future trends, and the exciting opportunities ahead. We’re already familiar with tools like ChatGPT and MidJourney, part of the ‘Generative AI’ family, that create content on demand. The next evolution is […]
OpenAI has just announced its next big upgrade, GPT-5. It’ll be released later this year, and it could change everything! But what does that mean for us day-to-day? It’s Smarter! Imagine consumer-grade AI that’s 100 times more powerful than what we have today. GPT-5 will be able to handle more complex tasks and make better […]
I recently came across a video that perfectly illustrates the power of a synthesised mindset in action. In the clip, a front-loader driver gets his vehicle across a canal without the tracks ever touching the water. Rather than trying to drive through the water, he uses the boom and bucket to “walk” the vehicle across, […]
Last week’s post about transitional phrases definitely created interest, so I thought I’d share some other approaches I use in my keynotes. I’ve tried to describe what each tool is and provide real-life examples from my speeches. “Linguistic tools” are essential in keynote speeches. They make them engaging and help audiences connect with a message. […]
I’m often asked the question, ‘How can I do what you do?’. Broadly speaking, recognise that there’s the craft 𝗔𝗡𝗗 the business of being a keynote speaker. If you want a fast track on the business of speaking, I’ll always recommend a preliminary conversation with Maria Franzoni! This post isn’t about the business, but rather […]
