AI&Beyond

Last week, Anuj Magazine had an amazing opportunity to present on top technology trends at the Campden Family Connect event. Campden Family Connect is the pre-eminent membership network for India’s ultra-high-net-worth community, family business owners, and their family offices. One piece of feedback from an executive who attended the session stood out to us: "As a finance professional, we keep looking at the stars when people talk about AI, but your session was really informative and made the concepts easy to understand." In similar events, we often hear the sentiments like the following from C-level executives: "AI feels like a tidal wave—exciting, but also a bit overwhelming. How do we ride it and not get swept away?" As Jaspreet Bindra and Anuj Magazine build the foundation of AI&Beyond, making technology simpler and more accessible to enterprises—especially to the executives who drive the organization—has been one of our priorities. In addition to the Generative AI Bootcamp (more here: https://lnkd.in/eHmQxx8r) one of our offerings for executives is 'AI Keynotes.' These keynotes aren't about tech jargon; they're about addressing the real questions: - How will AI reshape your industry's competitive landscape? - What are the hidden risks you need to be aware of? - And most importantly, what unprecedented opportunities are waiting to be seized? With AI Keynotes, we're committed to helping you navigate the AI wave, turning potential overwhelm into strategic advantage.

As we enter the age of AI, everywhere one hears that ‘AI will transform everything’, but will it, and if so, how? I explore seven ways that AI can actually reshape business, society, life, and even the human species. Intrigued?

Last week, Anuj Magazine and Jaspreet Bindra revealed our plans for our new company AI&Beyond, and its mission to build AI Literacy in organisations. Last week I wrote about the story behind our brand name, AI&Beyond (link in comments below); today, let me tell you the story behind our logo, especially the green humanised ampersand (&), which we affectionately call AndMan! We believe that as we enter the Age of AI and it becomes more and more powerful and dominant; we, as humans, will need to become even more human to thrive and prosper. As AI takes the mundane, repetitive and even some creative tasks away from us, we will have to dig deep into the traits and values that made us human and rediscover them. Uniquely human skills like curiosity, logic, compassion, humanities, philosophy, and above all grammar and language. These are human skills which were taught to students at the time of Panini, Confucious and Aristotle, but somewhere along the way we begin to learn more mechanistic skills and subjects like STEM, programming, etc. in favour of the humanities. For example, what we fancily call ‘prompt engineering’ is nothing but how well we artfully use language well to get the machine to give us the kind of answer we want. Thus we believe that we will need to become more human in the age of AI. AndMan is deliberately a human figure in the middle of AI and beyond, and (s)he is shown to be sitting and reading or learning something. Hopefully something new that it got curious about… Final note: AndMan also figures in our website as something else.

Stories have always inspired us, and the same happened when Jaspreet Bindra and Anuj Magazine discussed the brand and personality of AI&Beyond. If you haven't yet read the story behind our brand, I encourage you to check out Jaspreet's post here: https://lnkd.in/eiucdJ-A We particularly appreciate Rumi Contractor's comment on the post: "Stories behind logos are just as interesting as the products and services offered by companies." And one of our offerings that has resonated strongly with the early organizations we've partnered with is our Generative AI Bootcamp. Here's a sneak peek at what it's all about: - Learn how to use AI tools effectively. Remember, it's not AI vs. you, it's you with AI vs. those without it. - Most people who've taken early versions of the bootcamp say they save a lot of time and get more done at work. It's not just talk – it really helps! - You won't just watch - you'll do! Get real practice using AI tools. - Whether you're new to AI tools or have some experience, this bootcamp will help you become confident in using these powerful tools.

As Anuj Magazine and I start AI&Beyond, one of the things we are super thrilled with is the story behind the brand and logo. CLR James, a Jamaican author, wrote what is regarded to be the finest book on cricket called 'Beyond A Boundary'. In this, he presciently argued that what happened inside the "boundary line" in cricket affected life beyond it, as well as the other way. To make that point, he borrowed a quote from Rudyard Kipling's poem "The English Flag": "What should they know of England who only England know?", and revised it to his own immortal quote: "What do they know of cricket who only cricket know?" As I read that book a couple of decades ago, this quote stuck with me. And, then when I immersed myself in AI, especially with my second Masters in AI, Ethics and Society at University of Cambridge , I realised that there was so much more to AI, than just the tech itself. So, we took James' quote and revised it to: "What do they know of AI, who only AI know"? It is with this inspiration, among others, that we started and named the company AI&Beyond: to build Literacy of not only the tech of AI, but beyond it to its ethics, philosophy, sociology and human aspects of it, and also to look at technologies beyond AI. We are especially thrilled with our URL - aiandbeyond.ai , which reads as 'AI and beyond AI' 😁 More about our logo in the next story, and meanwhile do check out www (dot) aiandbeyond (dot) ai.

AI is both exciting and concerning for human kind, for two reasons: Like nuclear, it is a dual-sided technology with a huge beneficial side but also an ominous dark side, and it is the only technology which tries to replicate the unique cognitive and creative aspects of humans.

GenAI is a democratic technology, an unless every single one of your employees is AI Literate, it will not move the productivity needle for your organisation. Super thrilled to unveil something very soon around AI Literacy. And beyond. Watch this space. Anuj Magazine #GenerativeAI #AILiteracy #BeyondAI

We all know that 'picks and shovel providers' like infrastructure and chip makers like NVIDIA and TSMC are raking it in, in this AI Gold Rush. But there are others, flying below the radar and monetizing this moment. My article in LiveMint reveals and explores who is making money and who is not in the GenAI boom today. (Link in the comments) #GenerativeAI #ChipMakers #TheTechWhisperer #JaspreetBindra

NVIDIA went down almost a trillion dollars, Intel Corporation down 25%, GenAI startups folding up or folding themselves into the arms of BigTechs due to lack of money, enterprises spending on GenAI yet to see returns... Is anyone making money on the GenAI boom? Yes, gobs of it, and some of them are not ones you would think of. Read more in my column on Friday #GenerativeAI
