Takeaways We are currently in the prophet era of AI, where companies are no longer questioning if AI will affect them, but rather how and when. The debate between open source and closed source large language models (LLMs) continues, with the understanding that building LLMs from scratch is not feasible for most organizations. Wearables and augmented reality have the potential to enhance project delivery, but their adoption and impact will vary depending on specific use cases and industries. Writing down thoughts and engaging in open debate are valuable practices for solidifying ideas and gaining different perspectives in the evolving tech landscape. Adopting a curious mindset and asking questions about unfamiliar topics can help individuals stay relevant and informed in the face of technological advancements.
