Ep. 80 of the EIS Navigator #podcast out now: A VC perspective on AI’s impact on startups Anyone with a passing interest in technology or venture capital cannot have missed the increased dialogue about AI over the past few months. We are overdue talking about it on the podcast, so we asked an expert – James Pringle. He used AI as a founder and it now impacts how he invests, making him the ideal guest to discuss the topic. We discuss broadly how AI works, its current capability, how it has developed over the past few years and what has changed to bring it to such prominence now. James talks through how it can supercharge employees, enabling them to move faster with less resources and how management needs to handle that. He talks about how this leads to an investment approach that focuses on applications rather the fundamental building blocks of AI. Finally, we chat about some of the risks.
