Is AI a danger or a solution or both




Is #ai  inevitable - unstoppable - how do you engage it?

Are we  the frog in a frying pan ?  We are evolving into  cyborgs   - and we can’t see it ? 

Is it a danger?

Are machines slaves to you or are you a slave to the machine!

Steven Bartlett Speaks to Mo Gawdat in an amazing podcast that explains #ai - the dangers and opportunities….

Is this just part of the evolution?

This is why NVIDIA is now worth $1trillion and the growth has just begun!




In 5 years animation has improved more than 1000 times using #ai 


 how has this been done ? 


So what is the breakthrough of chatgpt? 


💥it’s the capability to learn the structure of anything - and with with prompts we can guide - #ai to understands and uses language and transform  it to another structure #ai 


💥Input Text  - analyse language - pictures 


💥Generative ai - with prompts - information transferred to other information dna, proteins 


💥Why is it so powerful - what’s the 10x factor?


💥It’s so Easy to use -  Chat GPT or generative AI will revolutionise how we connect communicate and collaborate 





NVIDIA is now working with 1600 startups - it’s taking computing to another level ! What happens when computer power is 1000 times faster using quantum computing? 


Current video and communication is antequated 


Communicate - deconstruct - reconstruct 


😎The future of video 


The NVIDIA chip will be a universal translator - 


Communicated - perceived - reconstructed - regenerated and received 


Pictures will be perceived vs received . What you send is not yours but a hybrid . 


❓What is real? 


This is the result 


The ability to transform Text to  animation 


The next phase of ai and life - each person will have a “digital twin” - a servant that will do whatever you want it to do - a robot that will understand your words - and do whatever you want - a system that understands the law of physics ? 


Using human feedback and reinforcement learning - it will be able to perceive your wants and needs - to analyse your moods and understand your desires !


💥Production and throughput of factories 




Every factory will have a digital factory . It will be created before a factory is built -and then transform that twin into reality . 


Questions ❓❓❓❓❓


How will this affect 

❓Your current reality ?

❓ The way you live ?

❓ The way you feel? 

❓The way you behave ? 

❓Your environment around you? 


❓The metaverse? 


❓Does climate change go away? 


❓Do our “beings” get transformed into another “body” 


 think “Dr Spock and Star Trek”  think “avatar” becoming a reality using generative AI . Do “human beings” get transformed into “digital beings” - are we the same being ? 


❓Are we just at the beginning of another revolution ?


❓Will life in 2043 be completely different to what life is today? 


❓Will our “digital twin” become a “digital being” and make the “human being “ redundant?


? Does gender and racial bias go away - you can be whoever you want to be ?

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.

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.
  16. Motivation: Enhance motivation through gamification, personalization, and recognition of achievements.

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
