Thomas Reflective Question: How can you practice adaptability in your work, especially when a new AI tool or process emerges? 🤖 Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI) and Predictions on AGINiko touches on Ray Kurzweil’s predictions about achieving AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) by 2028 and the new, more measurable concept of AMI (Advanced Machine Intelligence). The hosts dive into the implications of these advancements and how AI will transition from merely supporting humans to teaching them, challenging listeners to rethink how we interact with and learn from technology. Quote: “We’re heading toward an era where we’ll need to learn from AI, not just guide it, and that might be the biggest shift of all.” – Niko Lefakis Reflective Question: Are you prepared to learn from AI as it advances? What steps could you take to ensure you’re ready? 📈 Standardization and Governance in AI for BusinessesChris introduces the importance of creating standardized AI models and governance systems for organizations.
