NOTE: โThe Week That Wasโ is a recap of ideas shared over the last seven days.
What got my attention in ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐จ?
AI is everywhere. It seems like everyone is โdeploying and adopting AIโ and that everyone has an โAI strategyโ. Dig deeper and you discover that AI is an umbrella term for many things and more specific language is required to truly understand what is being adopted, developed and deployed.
When a term has so many meanings to different folks, and in different contexts, more precise language helps me zero into the opportunity and impact of of the ideas being discussed. In a longer-form post, โWhat is AI?โ, I lay out my current framework for understanding the space based on Five Groupings (or classes) of AI - based on their roles and capabilities - and 10 โFlavorsโ of the technology. Feedback, as always, is appreciated.
Graham and I discussed this topic, as well as his observations from the RE+ Conference (which gathered ~40,000 people focused on ower in Las Vegas this week) in our Coffee Chat.
