The future of AI: What’s next beyond If-then-else. #OMR Another year, another dance around AI at the OMR Festival here in Hamburg. But this year felt different. It felt like we were all orbiting around AI, the sun in our digital universe, but not quite sure yet how to harness its energy. Remember what Sam Altman wrote?  “This is the most interesting year in human history, except for all future years.” That's exactly what Philipp Klöckner's insightful presentation at OMR captured. Here are some key takeaways that left me wanting more (and you should too - check out the full presentation on Youtube ): AI is Booming, But at a Cost OpenAI just hit a cool $2 billion in revenue. Big names like Amazon, Meta, Google, Zoom, Deloitte, and Accenture, to name just a few, are leveraging AI for a competitive edge. But there's a catch: training the models is a massive financial investment, and it's only getting steeper. “Content inflation” 😱 We're drowning in content, and guess what? AI can create and respond to comments, too. The irony? There's already AI that can sniff out AI-generated content.  As marketers and content creators we need to step up our game. Who's Behind the Keyboard? Authenticating the Future With AI spitting out content and responding to comments, how do we know who's on the other side of the screen? Klöckner highlighted projects like Worldcoin that also aim to solve this authentication challenge. Humans vs. Machines?   “AI models can now surpass human capabilities in various fields”, says Klöckner. He playfully challenged Gemini to solve a CAPTCHA. The plot twist? Gemini aced it.  Machines are surpassing human capabilities in various fields. On the next episode of “Keeping Up With the AI” Let's face it, AI is everywhere. But are we keeping pace? As Klöckner warns, full automation of labor will likely arrive sooner than we think.  Speaking of keeping up: Kim Kardashian also talked about the challenges of truly understanding the complexity of AI at the pace it’s evolving. The Takeaway: Buckle Up! Staying informed about AI is no longer optional. Sam Altman just spoke about a universal basic income. The future is knocking, and it's powered by AI. Are you ready to answer the door? #OMR #AI #FutureofWork #MachineLearning #ArtificialIntelligence #Hamburg

This is a brilliant presentation about the impact and progress of AI. https://lnkd.in/e64BvZtH My conclusion is... the only reliable way I can benefit from AI is by buying a global index fund.

🚀 Exciting Insights into the Future of AI! 🤖 In a recent video presentation by Philipp Klöckner (Regular podcast: doppelgänger.io) at the OMR Festival, we explored the rapid advancements and impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Here are some key highlights, but I 100% recommend to watch the video: AI as a Game Changer: 🏆 Companies like Google and Meta have significantly increased their efficiency using AI. Google's gross profit per employee soared from $750k to over $1M, while Meta doubled theirs to $500k. 📈 Peak AI and the Hype Cycle: 📊 According to Scott Galloway and Gartner, we are at the peak of the hype for generative AI and foundation models. Real applications will emerge after the trough of disillusionment. 🌐 Real-World Use Cases: 💼 Companies like Klarna and Zoom have saved thousands of work hours through AI. Accenture has trained 600,000 employees globally to become AI experts, generating $24 billion in revenue. 💡 Accelerating Progress: 🏎️ The development of AI models is accelerating at a tremendous pace. The costs and efforts for training these models are rising, as seen with Google’s Gemini and NVIDIA’s latest chip generation. 💾 The Human Component: 🌍 Despite all advancements, we must not forget the human costs. Many people are working on data labeling to train AI systems. 🧑💻 AI is set to revolutionize our way of working and industries across the board.🚀 Stay curious! 😀 #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #Technology #Innovation #Future #Efficiency #Consulting #TechTrends #DataScience #MachineLearning #DeepLearning #BigData #DigitalTransformation #Automation #Robotics #NextGenTech #AIRevolution #BusinessGrowth #TechInnovation #AITechnology #FutureOfWork https://lnkd.in/dMCNqRZ8

#SaschaLobo at #OMR 2024: https://lnkd.in/dy4Eeex6 a) Highlight Stories: 1. ChatGPT's release and its impact on Google (Alphabet):   - 2nd order: Google had to declare "Code Red" despite their massive investments in AI    - 3rd order: Showcased how quickly transformative AI can surprise even leading tech giants 2. Rise of generative AI and its disruptive potential:   - 2nd order: Enabling new forms of media creation (videos, images, etc.)   - 3rd order: Potential disruption of creative industries and advertising 3. The "virtualization" enabled by AI:   - 2nd order: Allowing automation of complex physical tasks (e.g., laser-based pest control)   - 3rd order: Reduction in use of chemicals, potential environmental benefits 4. AI's ability to surpass human understanding/expertise:   - 2nd order: Questioning the value of accumulated human experience in certain domains   - 3rd order: Need to re-evaluate expertise and decision-making processes b) Key Metrics: - 25% potential cost savings in procurement realized by Walmart using a chatbot - €10 million salary packages reportedly offered by OpenAI to poach AI experts from Google - 50% of scientific papers on AI were co-authored by Google employees/affiliates at one point - 100:0 win ratio of AlphaGo Zero (with no human data) against AlphaGo (trained on 3000 years of human games) - 29 million games played by AlphaGo Zero against itself to learn Go from scratch - 140,000 suppliers that Walmart has, where they tested using a chatbot for communication c) Recommendations: - Develop an "emotional heuristic" to sense the direction of the AI transformation - Evaluate every step of the value chain for AI potential, including in communication/advertising - Prepare for a future where prompts can generate optimized videos/content for targeted social media promotion - Philosophically grapple with whether AI systems are merely tools or "creatures" - Work intensively and collaboratively to steer the positive impacts of AI (as negative impacts will happen naturally) d) Funny tidbits: - Mention of an article in a major German publication about "The 7 Best Fax Machines of 2024" - Quip about Robert Habeck (Vice Chancellor) likely not appreciating AI-powered laser insect extermination given insect decline concerns - Observation that 3/4 of Walmart's suppliers preferred interacting with the chatbot over humans - The general sense of bewilderment and being constantly surprised by the rapid AI progress, even for leading experts

In the rapidly evolving field of generative Artificial Intelligence (genAI), are we adequately addressing competitive dynamics to ensure safety & innovation? In my new Centrum für Europäische Politik study, co-authored with my colleague Dr. Matthias Kullas, we look at the entire value chain of genAI services and highlight the urgent need for vigilant competition policy and the strategic promotion of an environment conducive to innovation and diversity in this sector. Our investigation begins with the characteristics of the genAI infrastructure, highlighting the critical role of large datasets and massive computing power in the development and deployment of basic models. We identify significant barriers to entry, in particular the “winner-takes-most” market dynamics prevalent in the foundation model arena, where significant economies of scale and scope, as well as scaling laws (“emerging capabilities” of genAI), favour incumbents, stifling the vibrant competition essential for innovation and market diversity. In addition, we explore the downstream implications of genAI deployment, highlighting the challenges faced by new entrants in competing with BigTech firms with privileged access to cutting-edge models, scarce human capital, and cloud service space. The emergence of “app store” models for genAI, similar to those pioneered by OpenAI, could further concentrate market power. Our analysis goes beyond mere market mechanics, arguing for a holistic approach to EU competition policy that integrates resilience considerations and takes into account the broader societal, ethical, and security implications of genAI. These include potential risks to democratic discourse, the proliferation of deepfakes, and the recent use of genAI in malicious services, highlighting the need for a regulatory framework that balances competition with the protection of societal values.
