Emovid

Last week I spoke just 1 language. This week I can speak close to 60. We just added AI-translations for any video message sent through Emovid--with support for almost 60 languages. This means you can record a video message in your native language and send it to pretty much anyone in the modern world. And they can reply to you with video and you can instantly translate their message back. Imagine the connections you can finally make where language has been a barrier in the past. Please give it a try and help spread the word.

I have spoken on the dynamic that one of the biggest societal impacts of AI will be the potential rapid displacement of knowledge workers. No other major technology wave that I can think of had the potential to impact as wide a range of knowledge workers as quickly, with almost zero capital outlay. This is different from all other major technological advancements that our society has lived through: laying fields is hard, building electricity plants takes capital, laying communication lines is slow, and building Amazon's fulfillment infrastructure was a massive undertaking. But #IaaS (what I like to call Intelligence as a Service) is effectively instant. One thing to watch closely will be rapid shifts in compensation dynamics. It seems the freelancer market 'might' already be experiencing compression based on this article from The Wall Street Journal and data from Upwork. https://lnkd.in/gVhvB4_m And I'll repeat our mantra at Emovid: let's focus on building AI solutions that amplify (not replace) humans. #4thstakeholder #AI Christopher Mims

Shared by my good friend Eric Eisenstein, too funny not to share. Happy Memorial day all.

Huge problem: AI-created content flowing into Search = degrading results = degraded trust in Search. Check out this actual example from a search I just tried "Countries in Africa that start with the letter K" on Google. The misinformation pandora's box that will come from misuse of AI is significant both directly and indirectly. Knowing what is a trusted, original source of information or communication is going to be critical. Source: This was from a great webinar from Perry Carpenter that's very worthwhile. https://lnkd.in/evE3pR_u. Hopefully they'll stream it later. #authenticity #emovid

Very excited to have been selected by #Marquis for their Who's Who Awards: https://lnkd.in/gfKPWw2w And this line best captures why I am so excited to be running #Emovid. "In his current role, Mr. Cho is committed to integrating artificial intelligence technology into business operations while emphasizing responsible business citizenship. This forward-thinking approach underscores his dedication to technological advancement and ethical business practices that benefit society at large—in a way that actually increases authenticity and human agency vs. reducing it."

I took my eldest daughter to college tours last week and had the craziest math realization: So I'll be 54 years young next year. And she'll be off to College a little before her 18th birthday. That means my life will have been cleanly split into thirds: * For the first 18 years I was just a kid myself. * Then, 18 years of 'adulthood' but without kids. The entirety of my pre-parenting 'self' is crammed into these years. * Then, 18 years of being a father. I have been 'Daddy' as long as I have been 'me'. * In another 18 years who knows, I might be a grandfather. It's fascinating to see the simplicity of your life when you view them in these 18 year chunks. What will your next 18-year cycle bring? #parenting #perspectives

You are probably all getting barraged by the wave of new, improved, enhanced, 10x faster AI tools. There are new ones coming every day: magic technologies that will 'take away the need for you to do anything other than just sit back and relax'. At the surface it sounds compelling. But I have come to an important realization. If we let technologies degrade the authenticity of our interactions or eliminate our agency, we are hallowing out what it means to be human. We are meant to be connected, to be productive. That is when we thrive. So my new personal filter for any AI tool or product is simple: Q1: Will it increase vs. decrease the authenticity of my interactions? Q2: Will it increase vs. decrease my personal agency? If it decreases either, I will happily put it into the 'pass' pile. #4thstakeholder #authenticity #agency Emovid

No, this is not an AI-generated misspelling. Giving tough and honest feedback is one of the hardest but most important things you can do as a leader. It's both hard to give and receive, but it's a true gift. A new friend of mine introduced me to the perfect term to describe this: "Speaking the truth in love (STTIL)" It's a great meme. Wanted to share. #leadership #feedback
