Nvidia - designing semiconductors for AI servers -hits $1 trillion Valuation!

Nvidia became the first chipmaker to hit a valuation of $1trn. Shares rose more than 4% on Tuesday after the company’s chief executive announced the creation of a new AI-supercomputer platform that will help other tech firms build generative AI models. Nvidia, which designs the semiconductors of choice for many AI servers, is one of several chipmakers to cash in on the AI gold rush. 

This is why the valuation has increased https://australianinnovation.blogspot.com/2023/05/nvidia-became-first-chipmaker-to-hit.html

Is AI transforming education for the better ?

AI is  transforming education - for the better !! Says Curt Carlson 

It will likely not eliminate in-class learning but it will be transformative amplifier of learning where every student in the world will have a great teacher in every subject.  

There are so many ways ai will be able to engage people. 

  Think online kid games.  

There is a proliferation of  endless online programs leveraging IT and ZOOM that is being turbo charged with AI .

Education institutions that will survive and thrive will need to embrace online, zoom and AI tools - as part of a hybrid lifelong education system. 

This helps learners become immersed in a lifelong learning process.

 The material and relevant courses need to be 

• online - where people can learn at their own pace - creating scale 
• hybrid online when interaction is required, and 
• in class as demanded by the material. This enables the social advantages of being on campus, as required. The #bbgforum which are held both face to face and virtually on zoom - are great ways to enable students to connect, collaborate, contribute, learn and grow 

As technology and ai continues to change the way we do things , Lifelong learning will be  essential to  keep up with the exponential economy.

16 ways in which AI will effect Education 

Curt Carlson

Dr Curtis Raymond Carlson (born May 22, 1945) was president and CEO of SRI International from 1998 to 2014 , where revenue tripled to $550 million per year and tens of billions of dollars of new marketplace value was created, such as through Siri, an SRI spin-off company that was bought by Steve Jobs at Apple. 

Curt  is a prominent technologist and pioneer in developing and using innovation best practices.

While Carlson was CEO Mayfield Ventures partner, David Ladd, said, “SRI is now the best enterprise at turning its technology into economic value.”

Curt has advised ministers and prîeministers around the world on innovation best practice as it relates to education and economic development . Being a member of Obamas national advisory council on innovation and entrepreneurship 

He is currently on the scientific advisory boards of Singapore and Taiwan! 

Al Will Revolutionize Education

World expert on Innovation and Education Curt Carlson says the Education and training without Al will soon be inconceivable.

He shares 16 ways in which ai will help Active Learning - which is  the educational discipline defining how we learn best: 

1. Tutor Students: Provide personalized guidance, explanations, and support to students
2. Tutor Professors to Tutor Students: Assist professors improve their tutoring methods and support for learning.
3. Personalized Learning: Tailor instruction, resources, and activities to individual needs and preferences.
4. Benchmarking: Set standards for evaluating and assessing projects.
5. Exemplars: Offer high-quality examples and models in subject areas.
6. Feedback: Provide immediate feedback, aiding in identifying strengths and weaknesses.
7. Comparative Learning: Compare the strengths and weakness of different solutions.
8. Adaptive Learning: Adjust the difficulty of instruction to each student's needs.
9. Collaboration: Facilitate collaboration through digital platforms and tools
10. Resources: Provide access to a vast array of materials and resources.
11. Assessment: Automate assessment, analyze performance, and support informed decision-making
12. Field Trips: Allow students to virtually experience different cultures and environments without traveling
13. Decisions: Analyze data to identify trends and patterns, assisting in making informed decisions.
14. Meta Cognition: Guide students in self-reflection and goal setting.
15. Empathy: Understand and respond to students' emotions.

Welcome to the #nexttechrecolution 

Why dei goes hand in hand with climate action and how AI can help

Some great insights from Curt Carlson during our online I4j dialogue 

Warming cannot be solved if we don’t address the needs of the 4B people in abject poverty. 

The lack of education for about 4B people is a critical point.  

When you listen to the DAVOS crowd who fly in on their private planes with their $400M boats, their talks are too often farce.  

AI education can make a major contribution to education and therefore growth.  The surprising solution to growth is growth.  Once people get to $10K/capita problems will find solutions 

We must solve poverty to solve Warming.  

We will address it through technology and education and that is also where AI will play major roles. 

 It has come  along when we needed it.

“In all the companies I work with about innovation, failure is not due to opportunity, a lack of great people, or enough resources.  They think those are the constraints, but the biggest one is they don’t know how to create value for others.”  Curt Carlson

Why GO1 is excited 

Andrew Barnes, co-CEO of Go1 - the global content aggregator for high-quality training said that the combination of Go1 and Blinkist will create a new model for consumption of any type of learning content - providing an experience of ongoing learning that serves professional goals while being engaging.

The goal is for life long  learners to  incorporate learning into their day-to-day lives. 

How can we provide an ability to learn wherever and whenever a learner want to.

This is the future of learning.

I am really excited about this development of learning , and excited to be on the journey of providing lifelong learning with BSI Learning and NEXTTECH Learning . 

Yes, it’s challenging - but oh so rewarding and on the cutting edge of innovation
