As we all get to grips with the AI arms race, Jeremy Kahn’s book Mastering AI is a great read. He spoke to the team at 150Bond for our book club last month. 📕 We have a few copies of his book, if you’d like one, drop me a mail
Keeping up with the AI boom can be harder than we realize. It’s important to know how to maneuver its rapid growth and use it for good. Jeremy Kahn, Fortune’s AI Editor, wrote Mastering AI: A Survival Guide to Our Superpowered Future to help readers build a better understanding. Our team member Rafeeat B. spoke with Jeremy about the book as a part of 150Bond’s book club series. Here are some key takeaways: ⚫ Consolidation is inevitable. Many AI companies already rely on large amounts of capital and investment from Big Tech. While we may see a new company coming out every day, expect the number to dramatically reduce in the next 5 years. ⚫ Everyone will have an AI copilot in the next five years. These will reach industries like research, law, media, and medicine. However, because AI is trained from historical data, it’s vulnerable to biases, neglect, and opinions that can cause harm. To manage these risks, those developing AI must encourage independent oversight and transparency. ⚫ Envision what AI can do tomorrow, instead of ten years from today. Advancements are happening rapidly enough for us to take advantage of the tech’s current capabilities — AI has the potential to increase productivity, mentorship, and work quality. We need to shape it in the present to maximize its future benefits. We would love to share Jeremy's book - let us know if you are interested and we can send a copy out to share this AI wisdom!
