AI: The Catalyst of a New Industrial Revolution Imagine it’s the late 18th century, and the Industrial Revolution is in full swing. Factories hum with the sound of new machines powered by steam and water.

What can we learn from history as we embark on yet another Industrial Revolution and what’s different this time round? I’ve written a short blog with some thoughts. I think the impact will be bigger and happen faster than we think - www.linkedin.com/pulse/ai-cat... #ai #copilot #digitalrevolution

No I think you’re spot on. Online events are convenient for all arnt they so their popularity makes sense. I’m still a big fan of face time with people. The community events which arnt flooded with vendor pitches don’t seem to be overly prominent. Unless I’m missing something.

Just shared a new blog post about the GitHub tools and repos I use as an azure consultant! 🚀

Canadian media companies sue OpenAI in case potentially worth billions Litigants say AI company used their articles to train its popular ChatGPT software without authorization

'Canada’s major news organizations have sued tech firm OpenAI for potentially billions of dollars, alleging the company is “strip-mining journalism” and unjustly enriching itself by using news articles to train its popular ChatGPT software'
www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

Can we use the power of social to make it happen?

Surely it depends on how the training is executed and followed up. A lot of orgs put it in purely to tick the cyber essentials / cyber insurance box and leave it to run. I’m sure it has ‘some’ impact.

Martin Brundle looking sharp! 😂

If only we could pick up a win or two away from home! #brentfordfc

I usually experience similar pain after an EUC forum event - admittedly it’s typically self inflicted!!
