I recently received an email titled “An 18-year-old’s dilemma: Too late to contribute to AI?” Its author, who gave me permission to share this, is preparing for college. He is worried that by the time he graduates, AI will be so good there’s no meaningful work left for him to do

Just left the @ftlive #FutureofAI conference that @drfeifei was also a part of. Agree with @Benioff that she’s one of a kind. She still is in awe of the potential that’s in front of us. That’s motivation!
Creativity is intelligence having fun.” And the one and only @drfeifei just took that literally — her intelligence is now building worlds for us to play in! 🌍

Glad to be recognized in today’s @WSJ —- https://t.co/BSHKLkdwGt It’s been an exciting, challenging yet incredibly innovative last 3 years. @IgniteTech and @GFISoftware were early leaders of this type of approach. Great to see many others now leaning in.

At companies big and small, employees have feared being replaced by AI. The new threat: Being replaced by someone who knows AI.

Forget AGI in ten years. The real disruption is in your competitor's workflows right now. While you're debating AI strategy, they're rebuilding operations. Old model: Master one skill for ten years. New reality: How fast can you learn the next one? #AITransformation #GenAI

Lively conversation at @ftlive today at their London AI event. Excited to stir up all kinds of thoughts and comments sharing where @IgniteTech has been and are heading. Especially fun to have followed Sir Tim Berners-Lee on the stage!
Eric Vaughan (@TheGenAICEO), CEO of @IgniteTech, spoke earlier during his keynote interview on his vision and optimism for integrating #AI technology into workflows. #FTFutureofAI

Five tectonic technologies: Internet, Web browser, PC, iPhone, GenAI BlackBerry: "People want keyboards." Wrong. Your competitors are making the same choice right now. iPhone or BlackBerry? #AITransformation #GenAI

First slide at our all-hands: a picture of a gift. Tools. Training. Time. Experts. Everything. The lesson: Investment without belief is wasted energy. We stopped converting skeptics. Started recruiting believers. Everybody's got to be in the same boat. #Leadership

Reposting my first of year post---7 months in, I wouldn't revise it, materially.

They say imitation is a form of flattery. Eighteen months ago, we started publicly pushing a different approach to building enterprise software, what we call Sell–Design–Build. It wasn’t a deck. It wasn’t a framework. It was a new AI-powered discipline. With #Vibecoding

Good content and metrics @andrewyng. I particularly agreed with "One additional question I've found highly predictive of their skill is, 'How do you keep up with the latest developments in AI?' Because AI is evolving so rapidly, someone with good strategies for keeping up" This

As I continue to try to "train my AI", by challenging it, demanding it challenge me, not be so robotic etc., I just committed this to its memory. My wife says I'm "arguing with the AI again." This is what it saved. We'll see how it works.

Definitely love that other tech companies are getting the religion--we've been very vocal for over 2 years that this is existential! Declare your company (tech sector or not) to be #AIFirst and act to make it so or face certain death!
First Shopify. Now Duolingo. If you’re a “digital native business” (ie born in the cloud, born on mobile - think Pinterest, Airbnb, Stripe) and haven’t gotten the memo, here is the literal memo.

New AI Policies from the @WhiteHouse require fed agencies to prioritize U.S. companies investing in AI--that's great news. But more riveting is the quote from the article in the Fortune article below, "The new memos make the argument that “failure to innovate and implement AI at

These memos offer the first policy guidance from the Trump administration since his executive order requiring federal agencies to take a second look at their AI policies.
