Our latest #HBR article, published today, looks at how "human-guided and machine-driven" is the future of strategy. #RadicallyHuman @AccentureRSRCH @Accenturetechnology @pauldaugh

Huh. Looks like Plato was right. A new paper shows all language models converge on the same "universal geometry" of meaning. Researchers can translate between ANY model's embeddings without seeing the original text. Implications for philosophy and vector databases alike.

New research across 7,000+ knowledge workers shows generative AI boosted solo-task efficiency but left collaborative work untouched: heavy users cut weekly email time by 3.6 hours (-31 %) and wrote documents a bit faster, while meeting hours stayed flat.

The biggest myth about #AI is that it’s here to replace human jobs 😱 In reality, the most successful companies use it to amplify human potential. Join @pauldaugh & @hjameswilson for a Fireside Chat on how leaders can integrate AI ethically & responsibly. Registration link 👇

Many of the original AI benchmarks are genuinely bad: the reason AI stopped getting better at them is, in large part, because they were filled with errors that made getting the right answer impossible.
We find that across the board, today’s top LLMs still make genuine mistakes on these benchmarks. At the same time, on the majority of the *original* benchmarks, over 50% of “model errors” are actually caused by label noise! 3/5

For friends of open source: imo the highest leverage thing you can do is help construct a high diversity of RL environments that help elicit LLM cognitive strategies. To build a gym of sorts. This is a highly parallelizable task, which favors a large community of collaborators.

In our new article we look at why AI represents a new digital revolution, one that'll be bigger and happen faster than the initial waves of mobile, analytics, and social platforms. #AI @DrBhaskarGhosh @AccentureRSRCH
Here are three ways AI is changing how companies work:

After Ethan's post, I went on a deep dive into this study! I could go on and on about the results but if I had to boil it down to my biggest takeaways...🧵
New randomized, controlled trial of students using GPT-4 as a tutor in Nigeria. 6 weeks of after-school AI tutoring = 2 years of typical learning gains, outperforming 80% of other educational interventions. And it helped all students, especially girls who were initially behind

Accurate 30-word precis of my book "Human+Machine" (Harvard Biz Press 2024). 😀
Practice working with AI. Human+AI will be superior to human or AI alone for the foreseeable future. Those who can work most effectively with AI will be the most highly valued.

If AI development stopped this week we would have 5-10 years of absorbing the impact of current models on education, culture, healthcare, and business. But this week has also suggested that development is not stopping.
