"Making work easier. This is the problem. So obsessed with getting to the answer. Completing the project. Producing a result. Which are all valid things. But not where the richness of the human experience lies. The only 2 things you ever need to pay attention to in life are work and love. Things that are self-justified in the experience and who cares about the result. Stop rushing to what you perceive as some valuable endpoint. Learn to enjoy the expenditure of energy that may or may not be on the correct path." https://lnkd.in/gAUAJjr7 #FocusOnTheJourney #LoveWhatYouDo #GiftOfStruggle #CurrencyOfProgress #CareerAdvice #Commencement2024

The United States, once a paragon of electrical ingenuity, now faces a pivotal challenge. The expansion of AI and the digital economy necessitates not just incremental improvements but a radical rethinking of our power generation and transmission paradigms. Existing infrastructure falters under the weight of demand, exposing vulnerabilities that can no longer be ignored. Transcending the limitations of our aging grid requires Herculean efforts, both in terms of financial investment and innovative engineering. Extending transmission lines over vast distances—a necessity for connecting renewable energy sources in remote locations to urban centers—demands a level of ambition and resourcefulness reminiscent of our nation's greatest achievements. To address these challenges, a shift towards on-site and near-site power generation is imperative. This includes embracing hybrid models that integrate clean earth energy—such as solar and wind—with the promise of modern, modular nuclear reactors. These advanced reactors, designed with safety and efficiency in mind, offer a sustainable and resilient solution to meet the demands of the digital age. For astute investors and forward-thinking enterprises, the intersection of AI and energy presents a veritable goldmine. Investment in profitable power generation and transmission projects is not only a strategic imperative but also a moral one, ensuring the resilience and sustainability of our nation's infrastructure. Additionally, consulting practices focused on optimizing energy efficiency and integrating new technologies stand to thrive in this transformative era. In sum, as we stand at the crossroads of technological and infrastructural evolution, the opportunities are as immense as the challenges. By embracing innovation and investment in our power systems, we can ensure that the United States remains a leader in both technology and energy for generations to come. https://lnkd.in/eJUpz7NJ

Fans of what ought to be core practices of any business claiming the market disruptive innovation label will probably be at least very disappointed, if not outright surprised by a publicized stumble at yet another business one would have thought would have known better - Sonos.   What did they forget to do?   Test application acceptance by exposing the new software across a statistically reliable section of core, committed users   Though there is no mention in Shira Ovide's story for The Washington Post about user sampling prior to going live with a new version of the software at the core of user control of Sonos features and performance, it looks like a safe bet sampling was either nonexistent or substantially limited   What is the cost to the business of this mistake?   Reputation damage. Core subscriber churn. Negative press and more.   Takeaway?   Do not skip the twin persistent needs for experimentation and sampling of core customers.   #sonos #continuousexperimentation #userexperience #saasbusiness   https://lnkd.in/eyrsNQaN

The golden rule with AI (or any tech really) is to put the customer first. The problem is ....... what do customers want when it comes to AI? Its seems that it is still very much a mixed bag according to a new report just released by Genesys. The report titled "Humans and AI in unison: Driving the new era of customer experience" offers a deep dive into how different generations perceive AI's role in CX and is based on surveys of 1,000 adults in the USA. The results of the survey are completely mixed. See the graphic below for an overview of the findings. One of the most telling stats is that while 90% have heard of GenAI, 76% still know little to nothing about it. I have found this to be true worldwide and it is the basis of most of my AI education workshops. Interestingly, 50% of consumers believe that by 2030 nobody will care if they are interacting with a bot or a human - so long as they get what they want, when they want it. As a fun treat the survey asked consumers that if they could choose the voice of a voice bot, what would they choose. It was Morgan Freeman for the win, followed by Ryan Reynolds, in third place was Taylor Swift (cos we all need a little more tay-tay), then Emma Stone and 5th place went to Ryan Gosling. The top three CX scenarios where consumers were happy with a bot were: Resetting passwords; Asking a product question whilst shopping; and, Scheduling basic appointments (haircut, etc). The top three CX scenarios where consumers preferred a human were: Asking for medical advice; Asking for financial advice; and, Rescheduling a flight. Unsurprisingly, all three of these require very specific domain expertise. These insights underscore the necessity for businesses to navigate the nuances of consumer preferences carefully.

Good commentary here regarding the waves of innovation and how "what's next" gets driven. I do think Gareth's last point is so important. Accessibility of technology doesn't always mean it's valuable, although I would say it's hard to see massive impact with tech until it becomes widely accessible. Definitely worth reading. #innovation #ai #technology

2 Books I just finished: 1. Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson 2. Shoe Dog by Phil Knight Reading these books back to back was interesting to see two innovators who had two totally different personalities and approaches to acheiving the miraculous. I started with the Steve Jobs biography which was a wild ride: an innovator with almost complete self-belief. Then I read Phil Knight book, where he discussed being riddled with self-doubt, shyness, and hit with one calamity after another. Lots of insights, inspirations, and takeaways from both. But what this experience also emphasized to me is that there is no one way to reach the goal, no one personality type, no one way to execute a vision. Love that. #BookRecommendation #Entrepreneurship #CPGBrands #Innovation What books have you read recently that you really enjoyed?

Alan Turing: The Visionary Behind Modern Computing and AI Alan Turing, a name synonymous with the genesis of modern computing and artificial intelligence, was a visionary mathematician and logician whose contributions have profoundly shaped the digital world we live in today. Turing's seminal paper in the 1930s laid the groundwork for the development of computers as we know them, envisioning machines capable of running various applications and operating systems to perform diverse tasks. In 1950, Turing introduced the concept of the "Turing Test" in his paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence," posing the profound question, "Can machines think?" This test was designed to assess a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from that of a human, which has become a cornerstone in the field of artificial intelligence. Turing's pioneering work has led many to regard him as the "father of artificial intelligence," as his ideas were instrumental in the development of AI and revolutionized the fields of computer science and cryptography. His vision of machines that could learn from experience and solve problems using guiding principles is now a reality in many aspects of technology and daily life. So, to answer the question, "Is this AI?" Yes, Turing's work laid the foundational concepts that have evolved into what we recognize as artificial intelligence today. His foresight into the capabilities of machines and their potential to think has paved the way for the AI-driven advancements that are now integral to our society. Alan Turing's story is a testament to the enduring impact of human ingenuity and the profound ways in which it can shape the future. His work remains a beacon of inspiration, reminding us of the limitless possibilities that arise when we dare to imagine and innovate.

TTTech Auto, with a solid reputation in #ADAS and #AD market, is pivoting the company's #business and #technology focus from #autonomousdriving to #SDV. You might dismiss it as a marketing/branding ploy. I beg to differ. First, the move reflects the current thinking among European #automakers. Second, it recognizes technology suppliers can’t make money on the moribund dream of #selfdrivingcars. Then, we must ask: By redesigning an E/E vehicle architecture for #SDVs, can #OEMs speed up #automotive #innovation?
