    AI BUBBLE - Hints How To Track If It's Coming

    Topic of AI Bubble started to surface already last year and comes back in (ever increasing) frequent hops. Studies like infamous MIT study of 95% AI Failing are loading the discussion even further. So we settled down with David for discussion on where the truth might be on this Bubble issue. To avoid being just shallow, we decomposed the total Revenue (and Profit) profiles of companies and discussed in deep detail the development around AI companies' User Bases, Intensity of Use and Frontier Labs' Pricing power. The development in the very topic is so dynamic that next events my render these kind of talks soon irrelevant. Therefore, we invite you watch through quickly :) and to extract the measuring logic rather than just one snapshot conclusion. Enjoy! Chapters: 01:40 Do We Have, AI Bubble Or Just Mind Games ? 04:10 M7 Taking Lion Share of Stock Market 06:25 It's Complicated, Because 08:40 AI Is Surely Getting To Big For Traditional Investors 10:10 Most Investors Are Locked Out Of Investment In AI 12:34 Reading The Recent Quarterly Results, We See ... 15:40 Profits, Not Reported, But Once Can Assume 19:54 When The Tide Goes Down, It Is Clear Whole Had Swimsuit And Who Didn't 21:02 Introducing 3 Factors: User Base + Intensity + Pricing 25:22 Positive And Negative Factors Of User Base Dynamics 28:07 Intensity of Use Is Tricky to Estimate 31:40 Wow Effects Try To Push Usage, But Stumbling On This 35:03 Free Tier Is Still Bloating Impression Of Demand 38:04 Quite Bluntly : AI Is Still Too Cheap 41:00 30USD+ Would Be Psychological Limit For Me 44:04 Bring Your Own AI To Work Might Play A Role Here 47:51 After Here All The Facts David Changes His Opinion

    Where AI Meets Medicine On Crossroads [with Prof. Amina Qutub]

    Having distinguished Prof. Amina A. QUTUB for interview is a dream of many Tech podcasters (or it certainly should be). As only few people have both the vision to see where AI is heading and the hands-on expertise to push those breakthroughs into the real life of clinics and hospitals. Her work is on intersection of high-end, expert Biology and Computational Systems and even both ways: With her team she not only builds models that replicate human brain BUT ALSO uses these insights to gear "regular" AI (as we all know it from LLMs) to save lives in Emergency Rooms and help Clinicians to stay On-Top-Of-The-Game even in long shifts. Thus, talking to someone, who's inventions can literally save your own life in future made this discussion so eye-opening and awesome at the same time. With David, we definitely took a chance to address the AI + Medicine combo from several angles and got from Dr. Qutub handful of insights nuggets. So, go ahead & explore all chapters of this great interview: 01:50 Patterns of Communication, From Molecules to Humans 02:40 Where To Look For AI Start-Up Inspiration In Medicine 04:55 Turing Test in Medical AI Would Need to Include Smell and Taste 06:56 Combining Many Clinicians On Top Of Their Game 09:15 Accessibility Paves The AI Adoption (and hence hinders Medical AI) 11:24 In Full Emergency Room AI Split-second Decision Really Helps 16:35 Originally Deep Learning Inspired By Brain, But Where Do We Go Now 20:35 Is There Hope For Humanity To Merge Bio Brain Efficiency With AI 26:08 Building AI That Does Not Hurt Or Kill 29:34 How Do AI Scientists Choose (from ever changing) Top AI Models 32:05 Where Can/Should We Augment Humans With AI (and where to stop in it) 35:50 Launching AI Is Not Like Introducing Penicillin 38:19 Humble Self-Regulation (In Times Where Regulators Not Fully Grasp AI Principles) 41:30 AI Is Useful Even In My Private Life, But I Miss ... 44:16 What If We Invest Into Creating Super-Humans ? Amina Ann Qutub, PhD is the Burzik Professor of Engineering Design and Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Texas, San Antonio. She serves as the Assistant Director of Strategic Alliances for the MATRIX AI Consortium and a research thrust lead for the Augmenting Human Performance thrust. Dr. Qutub is also the Director of the UTSA – UT Health San Antonio Graduate Group in Biomedical Engineering and co-lead of the Center for Precision Medicine. Dr. Qutub is pioneering methods at the interface of computer science, biology and engineering to study the design of human cells, and help eradicate diseases affecting cells of the brain and vasculature. In new translational work, Dr. Qutub is co-lead (with Drs. Brian Eastridge, MD, UTHSCSA and Alan Cook, MD, UTTyler) of the iRemedyACT project to develop AI tools that can minimize time to treatment and optimize care for trauma patients.

    After years of consuming the AI mainly through chatbots and custom applications, finally we AI makes itself available also in form of the Web/AI Browsers.
