HOW DO WE INNOVATE TOWARDS A MORE INTELLIGENT FUTURE?

My guess is that just a few years from now, we will look back at today and think how un-intelligent today was! .. a more intelligent future may simply be about removing all the massive amounts of waste and duplication that exist today!

In an expansive manner, a more intelligent future, will be made up of Human Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence and Natural Intelligence, that will capture the opportunity of diversity, complex inter-relationships and build a new consciousness .. inventing a New Future!

WHY WOULD YOU GO TO A UNI-VERSITY IN A MULTI-VERSAL WORLD?

This week I had an excellent conversation with Euan Blair, founder of Multiverse, and son of ex-UK Prime Minister Tony Blair.

We talk about how he is tackling the fundamental mismatch between the types of talent and education that the system provides .. and the talent that companies actually need today.

His philosophy is in the name… we are moving away from a simple Uni- verse world - to a new complex Multi - verse world where you don't just study one thing, at one time in your life. Where new skills (like AI) are constantly built throughout your life .. so why go to Uni-versity at all?

From only being ‘qualified in theory’..to ongoing training on the job - and being ‘qualified in practice’. Its learning through working and working through learning!

Listen to our conversation on innovating education, work, learning and practice.

AI DOESN’T PREDICT THE FUTURE - BUT ALLOWS US TO PEAK AROUND THE CORNER.

This week I sat down with UN Vanguard award winner, @SaraMenker, Founder of @GroIntel, a leader in climate and agriculture, illuminating the inter-relationships between the two sets of complex data, using AI.

In this case it's Climate Change data and Food Supply data..

" .. what could be more existential for the human race as we pass 8 billion people on the planet, and as the climate becomes less hospitable, helping us figure out how to 'peek around the corner' and plan better to ensure we have enough food.”

So .. if AI can illuminate these interrelationships of two totally unrelated complex data sets like this .. then what's next? Will AI connect things we simply do not have the human capability to understand now, that are indeed powerfully connected .. and in so doing better understand our world ?

Can we build a more Intelligent Future .. where human intelligence utilizes artificial intelligence to empower nature's intelligence ?

BY CONNECTING VERTICAL AI WITH HORIZONTAL AI .. CAN WE STOP AI FROM HALLUCINATING .. ?

What interrelationships will be illuminated?

This week’s episode of Leaders in Innovation features the incredible @SaraMenker , Founder of @GroIntel and winner of the UN Vanguard award. She brings her brilliance and deep understanding of the applications of AI to climate and agricultural data, to imagine what next innovation is coming around the corner like..

ChatGPT is a horizontal AI. Gro Intelligence is a deep vertical AI.

A reasoning engine with deep knowledge (vertical AI) with a human-friendly interface (horizontal AI)..

Looking into the future, what is really exciting.. what will we see when we combine horizontal + vertical AI?

And a big thank you to Sara for talking through being under the weather 🦾☂️

As we look ahead at 2024, at the existential questions we face and the role technology plays in these questions..

I came out of my conversation with @wolfejosh, a technologist and Co-founder of @Lux_Capital, with some big takeaways we can apply to the critical challenges facing us.

There is a moral valence for technology ⚖

📱 Technology itself is not necessarily good or bad - but depends on the business model 📈

💾  Technology needs to come from a company we trust - one that is virtuously competitive 💪

👤  Human nature is consistent. Science compounds. 🔬

HUMAN NATURE IS A CONSTANT. SCIENCE COMPOUNDS.

As @wolfejosh (Co-Founder and Managing Partner at @Lux_Capital) put it human nature is unchanging and constant. We have to relearn all the lessons through our past but by comparison, science compounds - building on top of the shoulders of giants.

We find ourselves right now in a promethean moment in an Age of Reimagination as we say at FNDR and who better to navigate such profound implications than with the visionary and future optimist, Josh Wolfe?

Our conversation was nothing short of mind-blowing!

This week on the Leaders In Innovation Podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with polymath @wolfejosh (Co-Founder & Managing Partner of @Lux_Capital).

Josh is a truly visionary VC, with his ethics still firmly intact. Our conversation explored the vast landscape of innovation and felt like gazing into a crystal ball.

One thought that's stuck with me is the moral valence of technology. As Josh put it "technology itself is not necessarily good or bad - it depends on the business model." Is the technology designed to sow discord or foster connection? The answer lies in the business models and incentives that power them.

In the fast lane of AI, such critical questions arise. What virtues will propel these tools forward? As Josh believes it’s crucial that technology emerges from companies we trust — ones that are virtuously competitive.

Loved having you on my friend @wolfejosh 👊 Thank you for sharing such nuggets of wisdom 🧠 I just about kept up with your mad scientist brain!
