As an EV owner, this article hits home the latest findings revealing the rapid depreciation of EVs compared to other vehicle types. But fails to emphasize the failed roll out of #infrastructure on #EV ownership. The lack of charging stations, coupled with issues such as broken chargers and insufficient power supply, poses significant inconveniences for EV owners. Despite their exceptional performance and comfort, the absence of sufficient government and industry investment in infrastructure leaves early adopters holding the bag. The current scenario highlights the pressing need for substantial investment in energy infrastructure of the United States. To fully support the transition to electric vehicles, autonomous systems, and advanced computing, a robust and reliable infrastructure is imperative. We have to admit the critical role of infrastructure in shaping the future of #transportation. At GenLab Venture Studio we will looking at how we can build and invest in the energy industry by applying AI to help solve this fundamental gap in our nations and the global infrastructure.

GenLab is thrilled to welcome Sarah Novotny as our new Chief Technology Officer. As a Partner at GenLab, Sarah brings a unique blend of expertise in #Infrastructure, #Data, and #AI. Her understanding of these areas will be instrumental in guiding our studio projects to integrate and leverage the most advanced technologies. Her background in #softwareengineering, #OpenSource, and global infrastructure ensures that GenLab will build our projects from the ground up with resilience and best practices. GenLab takes infrastructure very seriously, as it's critical for us to de-risk our companies to provide the maximum value to our LPs and future investors. Congrats, Sarah! We are honored to have you join our adventure! https://lnkd.in/gJ6HR9Vn

At GenLab Venture Studios, we love to build sustainable businesses. Venture Studios are #businessmodels that focus on outcomes. As the world adapts to #AI and #enterprises learn to integrate it into their business processes, focusing on outcomes requires rapidly learning, adapting, and deploying vertical solutions to take advantage of new market opportunities. Integrating revolutionary technology requires understanding how to use foundational models with best practices while building in #zerotrust architecture to protect the business's intellectual property and unique value. #Datasovereignty and #dataprovidence have never been more important. To keep pace and scale AI and #AutonomousSystems, GenLab believes you need a business and data strategy that can survive a constrained resource economy. As supply chains, hardware (chips), and energy become oversaturated, you have to be agile and adapt. The venture studio business model is designed to work with unknown constraints while building venture assets prepared for today’s investment landscape. GenLab has already partnered with next-generation businesses to develop models for new markets by creating capital-efficient venture vehicles that can take advantage of these turbulent market conditions. Contact Brady F. and me to learn more about GenLabs' approach to the new AI economy.

Have your ticket to the AI Engineer's World Fair in SF? Join us for the Hackathon on the 24th.

GenLab Venture Studios is hosting its fourth hackathon in partnership with the AI Engineer Worlds Fair. It will be exciting to see the incredible creations of so many entrepreneurs, hackers, and designers. At this upcoming GenLab event, we're not just about rapid technology development. We're about something more significant—amplifying the importance of engineering and agency in AI. It's not just about what we build but also about how and why we build it. Our AI agents and autonomous systems need to give humans agency. Agency for me is giving humans a greater ability to have self determination. In short freedom. The way we engineer these systems with new AI #development/#DevOps tools allows us to build faster, more powerful agents. The tools and the engineers using them must prioritize human safety and privacy. Engineering and Agency are more than the rapid development of AI agents; they are the concepts of trust and safety of how we deploy and manage the future. Please join us for our next hackathon! https://lnkd.in/gTJXceJJ

GenLab Venture Studios is so excited to host Llama Lounge this week @ DG717 Digital Garage Jeremiah Owyang can't wait to see all the startups and incredible humans who will be joining this event today. Founders, Investors, Engineers, Designers, Creators, Entrepreneurs, oh my!!!!

Join us on March 16th/17th, we are incredibly excited about our next #Hackathon at GenLab Venture Studios. We will explore how #GenerativeAI will empower AI Agents and FinTech. This is a very challenging space where #trust, #securitybydesign, and #responsibleAI are critical to balancing the power of AI and financial systems. Can we trust Generative AI? What systems and tools do we need to have in place? Should we ensure that humans are always involved in financial decision-making? or will we let the robots take over? Many financial systems today use the power of AI and advanced algorithms to trade. Fintech uses these same tools for fraud, cybersecurity, and credit scoring. As we extend the power of AI to the edge to work on behalf of the individual, what new challenges will we see? Autonomous systems start independently operating in RL, and virtual agents work on our behalf, the will need financial independence to be fully effective and independent..... or will we let them? Will we focus most of the power of AI Agents and Fintech on customer support and fraud? Another event co-hosted by DG717 Digital Garage Thank you to our producing partner Aiify.io.
