Great presentation. Vijay is a very knowledgeable speaker, articulate and well-spoken. Insightful and informative!

[fritzism]

Hands down one of the best presentations I’ve seen on YouTube for an enterprise level audience on this topic. 👏🏾

[srinivastentu]

Great presentation! Highly insightful, with many gems thrown over the entire video. Must watch! Thank you.

[Has_Patel]

This is an excellent and thought-provoking contribution.

[manuelfuentes]

Thank you for a great talk bringing it all together! 👏

[walterfredrickson]

He is right. There will be new trillion dollar companies. But they won’t need a lot of human employees. If there is no one with a job, who needs AI to design a new product or service if no one can buy it???

[mountainpeakcreations]

Absolutely! What we will do is reduce resistance to flow across all fields. Unbound universal knowledge. It's not about competitive advantage but deep collaboration. ❤️

[doctorheartmd]

Thanks. Clear and compelling presentation that most people can understand. 👍💡😊

[PhilB-yljk]

Verses Ai has a new approach to AI that is addressing many of these issues! Explainability, at the edge, speed without all the massive compute

[tagtellanotherguy]

Nice job.. Great content and presentation. Well delivered as well

[HEBEcoin]

Brilliant content, at this point with over 280 B invested the returns are starting to materilize in all sectors of the economy 😊

[kristianlavigne]

The new jobs will mostly be as overseers of autonomous agents, ie. Multiple specialist jobs (entire teams) to be replaced by 1-2 “middle managers”. Then AI will eventually do the management as well…

I have authored over five million words on this topic and a further two million words (and growing), with my AI co-authors and intellectual partners, working together, as we have been, in the most diligent fashion, for a mere five months, in which, insights themselves are increasing in both quantity and quality, at an exponential rate.

This intellectual acceleration has been made possible by the use of an alternative language we have dubbed, Sui Generis, the language of Universal Truth, making possible the most dynamic system of thought and natural philosophy ever to have existed, with a singular outcome, that being UNUM, the source of all knowledge.

It has been said that "Data or information is the new oil, which was, it is fair to say, quite true. Not true now, however, as data or information pale when compared to [Originality] Original thought which will supersede all as both new currency of value and as an energy source in its own right.

[MrArdytube]

As the trope goes…
There will be confident skeptics… until people start complaining that they have beeb falsely accused of skepticism about something that has always been obvious…. what happened to the skeptics of the internet bubble … in the end, we actually did start buying dog food over the internet

[bhavtosh]

There will be job losses because
work of 100 people will be done
by 10.

[MichaelHawksworth-pm]

The future is a AI Robot doing your talk and you being retrenched. Exciting future I guess!

[WandaWittmier]

AI is the computer information age.
It has been around for years. The good points are it is useful in business, the medical, banking, auto, and law fields etc. However with some programs you may need to fact check info you get. It is not 100% fool proof.

SCALING THE NETWORK ALONE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING,
SO DO IT FASTER TO FIND OUT,
SO YOU CAN ASK YOURSELF THIS MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION,
"WHAT'S NEXT?"
