How to Use Your AI, ML and Big Data Knowledge to Bootstrap a Startup

Let’s talk about the field of medicine. If you think about what a doctor needs to do to diagnose an illness, she needs to consider all the symptoms, take into account all the test results, consider all the treatment options, factor in all the side-effects of various medications and their interplay with other medications the patient is already taking. 

This is, effectively, a multivariate optimization problem that a doctor has to do in her head. And, she needs to keep up with all the new research and advances in medical science, and factor those in as well. The field of medicine is full of incorrect diagnosis and mistreatment of illnesses. Now, if you replace this whole process with software, which IBM is trying to do with their Watson supercomputer, medical diagnosis becomes a truly scientific, deterministic process. 

I can tell you, if I have the option of being diagnosed by software versus a human doctor, I would always prefer software. It would be far more accurate.

Generative AI: A Strategy Blueprint for Capital Efficient Entrepreneurship

Ever since ChatGPT was made available to the general public, everybody is talking about how it will impact the world as we know it. 

ChatGPT is a generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) built on top of OpenAI’s GPT-3 family of large language models (LLMs). Generative AI is trained on vast amounts of data that enable it to understand and respond like a human. It helps create new content from previously created content. It can write and debug computer programs, compose music, plays, and student essays, and answer test questions. 

OpenAI’s Journey and Financials

OpenAI was originally founded in 2015 with a stated goal of promoting and developing friendly AI in a way that benefits humanity as a whole. Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Greg Brockman, Reid Hoffman, Jessica Livingston, Peter Thiel, AWS, Infosys, and YC Research pledged over $1 billion to the venture.
