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 🦾☂️
