    Breaking the AI bubble: Big Tech plus AI equals economy takeover. Featuring Georg Zoeller, Centre for AI Leadership Co-Founder

    Whether we like it or not, and despite tales of its powers being greatly exaggerated, the AI genie is out of the box. What does that mean, and what can we do about it? In another twist of abysmal AI politics, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman just admitted that we are in an AI bubble, and AGI is losing relevance. You may find this baffling or hilarious, or you may be wondering where does that leave the AI influencer types. But despite the absurdity, AI and the associated narrative have gotten way too important to dismiss. Connecting the dots to make sense of it all calls for long-standing experience in AI, engineering, business and beyond. In other words, for people like Georg Zoeller: a seasoned software and business engineer experienced in frontier technology in the gaming industry and Facebook. Zoeller has been using AI in his work dating back to the 2010’s, to the point where AI is now at the core of what he does. Zoeller is the VP of Technology of NOVI Health, a Singapore-based healthcare startup, as well as the Co-Founder of the Centre for AI Leadership and the AI Literacy & Transformation Institute. In a wide-ranging conversation with Zoeller, we addressed everything from AI first principles to its fatal flaws and its place in capitalism. Today, we discuss regulatory capture, copyright, the limits of the attention economy, the new AI religion, the builder's conundrum, how the AI-powered transformation of software engineering is a glimpse into the future of work, AI literacy and how to navigate the brave new world.

    Poking holes in the AI narrative: Market Signalling and Outsourcing. Featuring Georg Zoeller, Centre for AI Leadership Co-Founder

    Can AI work reliably at scale? Will everything be outsourced to AI? Will AI replace CEOs? Why is everyone riding the AI bandwagon, and where is it headed? These are the type of questions you would ask someone with long-standing experience in AI, engineering, business and beyond. Georg Zoeller is that someone: a seasoned software and business engineer experienced in frontier technology in the gaming industry and Facebook. Zoeller has been using AI in his work dating back to the 2010's, to the point where AI is now at the core of what he does. Zoeller is the VP of Technology of NOVI Health, a Singapore-based healthcare startup, as well as the Co-Founder of the Centre for AI Leadership and the AI Literacy & Transformation Institute. Zoeller has lots of insights to share on AI. And yet, the reason we got to meet and have an extensive, deep and fun conversation was a joke gone wild.

  3. Building AI for Earth with Clay: The intelligence platform transforming Geospatial data analysis. Featuring Clay Executive Director Bruno Sánchez

    Building AI for Earth with Clay: The intelligence platform transforming Geospatial data analysis. Featuring Clay Executive Director Bruno Sánchez

    How a rocket scientist turned entrepreneur created the "ChatGPT for Earth data" using transformers and satellite imagery. Bruno Sánchez is a rocket scientist with a somewhat deviant trajectory. An astrophysicist by training, he used the tools of his trade - mathematics and science - at the broadest possible scale: the universe. At some point, however, his focus switched to using those same tools for more down to earth goals. Sánchez had a stint at the World Bank, where as a member of interdisciplinary teams he helped make sense of geospatial data. Then he realized the core of what he was doing was mapping, which prompted him to launch a company called Mapbox, providing online maps on the web. This experience brought another realization for Sánchez - that we have so much data about Earth that we don't really know how to use it: "We know what are the trees in the world. We know what are the forests in the world. It's just a matter of processing [data] properly", as he put it. So when he got the opportunity to attempt to put all of that together in the same data center and in one workbench, he went for it. That was the Planetary Computer project at Microsoft, and Sánchez loved it. Then, ChatGPT happened. Sánchez noted that the T in ChatGPT - the transformer - was an architecture that seemed to work great for modalities such as text, images, and audio, but no one seemed to be using it for earth data. So he decided to give it a try. He built a team, raised funds, created a non-profit, and built an open source model using open data. And this is how Clay was born.

    Knowledge Graphs as the essential truth layer for Pragmatic AI. Featuring Tony Seale, The Knowledge Graph Guy

    Organizations are facing a critical challenge to AI adoption: how to leverage their domain-specific knowledge to use AI in a way that delivers trustworthy results. Knowledge graphs provide the missing "truth layer" that transforms probabilistic AI outputs into real world business acceleration. Knowledge graphs are powering products for the likes of Amazon and Samsung. The Knowledge graph market is expected to grow to $6.93 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 36.6%. Gartner has been advocating for the role of knowledge graphs in AI and the downstream effects in organizations going forward for the last few years. Neither the technology nor the vision are new. Knowledge graph technology has been around for decades, and people like Tony Seale were early to identify its potential for AI. Seale, also known as "The Knowledge Graph Guy", is the founder of the eponymous consulting firm. In this extensive conversation, we covered everything from knowledge graph first principles to application patterns for safe, verifiable AI, real-world experience, trends, predictions, and the way forward.

    AI Chips in 2025: The end of “more GPUs is all you need”? Featuring InAccel CEO / Founder Chris Cachris

    It’s early 2025, and we may already be witnessing a redefining moment for AI as we’ve come to know it in the last couple of years. Is the canon of “more GPUs is all you need” about to change? Truth is, when we arranged a conversation on AI chips with Chris Kachris, neither the Stargate Project nor DeepSeek R1 had burst onto the AI scene. Even though we did not consciously anticipate these developments, we knew AI chips is a topic that deserves attention, and Kachris is an insider. Join us as we explore how the AI chip market is shaped today and tomorrow. AI chips and open source AI models are all part of the comprehensive curriculum on Pragmatic AI Training that is being developed by Orchestrate all the Things: https://linkeddataorchestration.com/services/training/pragmatic-ai-training/ Subscribe to the newsletter to be the first to know and enjoy discounted rates: https://linkeddataorchestration.com/orchestrate-all-the-things/newsletter/ Check out the article published here for additional background and references: : https://linkeddataorchestration.com/2025/01/29/ai-chips-in-2025-the-end-of-more-gpus-is-all-you-need/

    You.com raises $50M to lead AI for Knowledge Workers. Featuring you.com Co-Founder Richard Socher

    You.com showcases the state of AI today The story of you.com is multi-faceted and telling in many ways. You.com was founded in 2020 by Richard Socher, one of the leading NLP (Natural Language Processing) researchers in the world, to offer a better search experience to users and compete with Google. With a startup exit and a Chief Data Scientist stint at Salesforce, Socher got the experience, network and backing he needed to pursue his long-time ambition of taking on Google. That's something few people have tried, with moderate success. Socher diagnosed early enough that the way to success is by carving a niche for you.com. You.com focuses on serving knowledge workers in "complex informational / action searches": elaborate queries, and queries that are really about accomplishing a task, respectively. In 2022, in the pre-ChatGPT era, Socher set out a course for you.com based on AI, apps, privacy, and personalization. In 2024, you.com is staying the course, but a few things have changed. In the GenAI era the competition is growing, and borrowing pages from you.com’s book. Language model providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic now offer services similar to you.com. Upstarts such as perplexity.ai have sprung up, and Google itself is embracing the AI approach to search. You.com is making progress too. Since launching in November 2021, you.com has served 1 billion queries and has millions of active users, including from Fortune 500. The company's ARR has grown by 500% since January 2024. Today, you.com announced a $50 million Series B funding round, as well as a new team plan called Multiplayer AI. We caught up with Socher, talked about the news, and took you.com for a spin.
