Is the Generative AI revolution affecting productivity growth in 2024? AI is expected to transform the Aotearoa New Zealand economy over time, as increasingly powerful and relatively inexpensive AI-enabled tools become more available here. This year, Gen AI’s biggest impact is helping to free up valuable human capital for high-value, strategic work. Having said this, depending on tool cost and availability, the productivity potential of Gen AI for diverse sectors, from office-based roles to agriculture, depends very much on the needs of Kiwi businesses. Callaghan Innovation, are focused on supporting Kiwi startups, and better-established ventures, so they can take advantage of Gen AI in 2024. Want to know more?

🔜 WAICF - World AI Cannes Festival Together with Ash F., Stefano Quintarelli & Sarah Benhamou I'm discussing how to be selective about investments in AI startups. #AI is a game-changing technology with far-reaching implications, but it's important to separate the wheat from the chaff. Not every company that boasts AI actually uses it effectively. Artificial intelligence often appears magical from the outside 🪄, but many applications that were unimaginable just a few years ago can now be easily realized. These innovations are not exclusive to this start-up; any other entity that conceives the idea can implement it, thanks to the readily available and easily applicable AI technology. 💡Therefore, I examine two key factors when considering an investment in an AI startup: 1. Has the startup explored new technologies that cannot be replicated due to patents? 2. Do they have access to data that is unavailable to others? I'm eager to share more insights with the AI community at the World AI Cannes Festival. I am also excited to discover new ideas and solutions from others. If you're also at #WAICF24, send me a message and let's arrange to meet up! 👍 Also, I have an Apple #VisionPro with me this time. Feel free to message me if you want to test it. #AI #conference #innovation #investments #investor *This is me, full of anticipation when I was at the WAICF for the first time in 2022 🙂

💡 Startup World Cup by Pegasus Tech Ventures - My first experience in #SiliconValley One of the great aspects of being in the Bay Area is, of course, the vibrant innovative ecosystem. Here are 3 personal takeaways from my very first event: ➤ Communication is a game-changer: No matter how good the idea is, people need to engage with and understand your what, how, and why. ➤ The team can be a significant differentiator. Those with strong experience and backgrounds in related fields often use this to capture attention early, rather than saving the 'team slide' for the end. ➤ AI is not a product. It should be easy to understand how #AI enables or helps the business model without getting lost in jargon. #SiliconValley #StartupWorldCup
