Send us Fan MailRon Bodkin is a self-described “serial entrepreneur focused on beneficial uses of AI”. Ron founded ChainML in April 2022 to make it easier to integrate AI models into applications. The AI we know today is immature in so many ways and many of them relate to how crude the tooling is for traditional developers building AI-first features. The ChainML protocol is a cost-efficient, decentralized network built for compute-intensive applications running on blockchain technology. Prior to founding ChainML Ron had a distinguished entrepreneurial career having founded Think Big Analytics before it was eventually acquired by Teradata after which he spent three years in applied AI at Google. Ron is also an active investor and advisor and has degrees in Computer Science from McGill and MIT.Listen and learn...What led Ron to focus on how AI can have a positive impact on the worldWhy Hinton's right when he says "we've invented a superior form of learning"Where the current toolstack for building LLM apps is incredibly immatureHow to control the cost and performance of LLM appsWhy human brains are inefficientWhy the "effective cost of computing" is being reduced by 50% every yearHow we may get to AGI within 20 yearsWhy proprietary datasets and commercial issues will slow down AI innovationThe right way to regulate AIReferences in this episode...Meredith Broussard, professor and author, on AI and the Future of WorkAttorney relies on court cases made up by ChatGPTThe Microsoft Sparks of AGI paper-Join Dan Turchin and 4 seasoned technology and people leaders on Sept. 17 for an executive discussion on AI, leadership, and the future of work.
