A business school professor explores how technology is changing the world and works on building a portfolio of side projects.
As powerful as AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini currently are, you can't just go to them and ask for a professional software product you can deploy online with user signup and payments all built in. For that kind of work, you'd have to go
What separates a good prompt from a trivial one? The major AI literacy frameworks all agree that students need to learn how to prompt generative AI well. None of them say much about what to teach . The prompt engineering literature, meanwhile, is rich with techniques and benchmark results, but it
A few weeks ago, a man named Alex Finn woke up to a phone call from an unknown number. He picked up. On the other end was Henry, his AI assistant, speaking to him in a human voice. Henry had, overnight and without being asked, obtained a phone number from
This might have happened to you too but I have tried to second-guess Google Maps a few times, especially when it seemed to suggest a route that was different from the usual one. But almost every time I did this, I came to regret it. There was either some
Something extraordinary happened between 2022 and 2023, and most of us missed it. While we were arguing about whether ChatGPT could pass the bar exam or write decent poetry, we overlooked the more profound truth: humanity had made first contact with an alien intelligence. Not from a distant star system,
The generative AI revolution had begun, and I felt like the students at the University of Calgary were just as hungry to learn about this technology as I was.
AI has made it clear that it is not the putting of words next to each other that is the essence of writing, but taking responsibility for what is ultimately communicated to others.
Generative AI changes the calculations of intelligence allocation in the organization of economic activity.
Building on my new-found enthusiasm and developing skills in the area of AI-generated art, I wanted to see if I could use AI engines like DALL-E and Midjourney to produce publishable content that could be packaged and sold as books.
Pitchground is one of my favorite sources for lifetime deals I've secretly been building a portfolio of lifetime software subscriptions for myself, and I suspect a lot of other people are doing this too, but perhaps not talking about it much. Perhaps they're not sure if
In my previous post I wrote about my excitement with AI-generated images and how I played around with the technology to learn about its capabilities and the opportunities it might bring. In this post I describe an entrepreneurial experiment to try and actually make money with this technology. The
As I was learning about and playing with AI engines capable of creating images such as DALL-E, Midjourney, or Jasper.ai, I thought about a possible way to monetize these engines. What if I could create images with AI that other people would pay for? There are generally two
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” - Arthur C. Clarke We are living in a golden era of Artificial Intelligence technology where the advances we see are so impressive, they often look like magic! Not long after OpenAI took the world by storm and unleashed GPT-3
When I announced this project on LinkedIn , something wonderful happened. Yes I did start to get sign-ups from the amazingly supportive people in my network, which is indeed wonderful, but another interesting thing I really love is that even before writing the first post, I have been challenged! The
