I had a blast stopping by #WebSummit in Lisbon last week. I got to spend time with so many inspiring technologists and journalists, and my favorite moments were the times when we finally stopped talking about #AI, haha. I seriously would have never imagined that our niche field…

With all the buzz around AI Agents defining 2024, what will be on the horizon for 2025 and beyond? Will AI Agents replace SaaS? Join our founder @nasrinmmm this Thursday in Lisbon at @WebSummit to learn all about our observations from the Enterprise market and her projections.

Seeing all the reactions to Anthropic's new "computer use" functionality made me think about what we historically used to call *AI Agent* before it became this hyped up marketing term that people slab on top of anything these days. Back in 2007, James Allen and his colleagues…

So much of the fear about AI has been fueled by the chatter on how AI has these so-called "emergent behaviors" that no one anticipated or built it for. As someone who spent my academic life on Commonsense Reasoning, which is by many accounts the holy grail of language…

I'll be at #CollisionConf in Toronto for a hot minute! Reach out if you want to meet up there.

As someone who spent my academic life on Commonsense Reasoning, which is by many accounts the holy grail of language understanding, I take issues with the clickbaity headline that *LLMs do jaw-dropping things but nobody knows exactly why*! I keep reminding people that decade(s)…

When we started Verneek three years ago, #AI was still the niche academic bubble we lived in, where we could see that the technology was finally working! We've had tectonic shifts in the public AI landscape ever since, but our founding thesis has stayed the same: Unlike the…

I'm looking forward to delivering the keynote at this year's @WhartonAnlytcs at @Wharton I'll be following the lead of the trailblazing businesswomen @michelleapeluso, Kate Johnson, and @goldenaimee1 who delivered the last three keynotes, and this year's will be all about AI:…

Join us and our partners at @NVIDIAAI this long weekend at #NRF2024 to learn more about all the practical ways that retailers and consumer brands can deploy AI to increase the topline of their businesses while delighting their shoppers. Watch @nvidia #IamAI video featuring…

🚨 Next week, on Monday, Jan. 15, I'll be moderating a panel on how AI will affect retailers, brands, and consumers. This will be in conjunction with the @NRFBigShow #NRF2024

The news of @nytimes suing Microsoft and OpenAI over copyright infringement is no surprise and well-warranted. The discussions around the role of content creators in the generative AI ecosystem have been heating up, specially with using LLMs as consumer-facing search engines that…

So, 7 years ago, at a meeting I had with @satyanadella discussing AI, he asked me “why is that your generation does not want to work for @Microsoft? Be candid”, I replied “well, Microsoft is not a cool innovative place!” I deeply admire what Satya has done in the past few years…

Our society LOVES to elevate individuals to heroes, give them so much power, and then bring them all the way down…A lot of people who went crazy over the weekend for OpenAI’s governance debacle fail to realize that the recent progress in AI is neither made by one company nor by…

I've been opening every single one of my AI talks for the past 12 years with this super simple yet unsolved coreference resolution problem. This year, finally, GPT-4 (and not ChatGPT!) could correctly answer this basic commonsense reasoning question, so to celebrate, this was my…

Today in what could be a historic move in tech policy, the White House issued an executive order on "Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy AI". As an AI company with "#helpful and #trustworthy" right next to all of our AI solutions, I have talked about #AI regulation and all the pros and…

It brings me so much joy to welcome @MotherlyMedia to our Verneek AI Platform's ecosystem. I always talked about leaving academia for startups to make a real impact by building something from scratch that can actually one day help millions of people in their day-to-day lives.…
