Right now, I’m at the Berlin Global Dialogue () – an exclusive event where the world’s top tech and business leaders are deciding how to shape the future. It’s like Davos, but with a sharper focus on tech and AI.
Who’s here? The VP of Global Impact at OpenAI, Herman Hauser (founder of ARM), and French President Emmanuel Macron.
Here’s what you need to know:
- AI and machine learning are being treated like the next industrial revolution. One founder shared he’d laid off 300 people replaced with OpenAI’s APIs (even the VP of at OpenAI appeared surprised)
- The conversations are heavily focused on how to control and monetize tech and AI – but there’s a glaring issue…
- …everyone here is part of an insider leadership group - and many don’t understand the tech they’re speaking about (OpenAI does though - their tip was ‘use our tech to understand’ - that’s good for them but not for all)
I’ve been coding for over a decade, teaching programming on Frontend Masters, and running an independent tech school, but what’s happening in these rooms is more critical than ever. If you work in tech, get ready for AI/ML to completely change the game. Every business will incorporate it, whether you’re prepared or not.
As someone raised by two public school teachers, I’m deeply invested in making sure the benefits of AI don’t stay locked behind corporate doors
I’m here all day at the BGD and will be answering your questions as I dive deeper into these conversations. Ask me anything about what’s really happening here.
