So much happening in the world of AI and technology this month.

And not just the launch of the AI Marketing Course I created.

Which is getting some lovely feedback on it. Which is nice.

But the whole world seems to be moving into AI.

Whilst the world of AI is moving quickly too.

🤖AI Revolution: A Peek into the Future of Work and Technology🚀

It's time to fuse into the matrix of mind-boggling updates on Artificial Intelligence and the mold it's casting on our work and tech terrain.

Buckle up your tech-savvy minds as we take you on a journey through the latest happenings that are fine-tuning the gears of our reality!

1️⃣ Everyone seems to be doing courses or AI events.

Even the digital marketing legend Neil Patell is getting in on the act with NP Digital Virtual Summit 2023: Fingers on the pulse, we're keeping an eye on this! Stay tuned for updates on possible AI-focused themes and panel discussions at the upcoming summit.

Besides, who doesn't love a good virtual networking event? Especially when the virtual ticket is free.

2️⃣ China, The Next AI Frontier:

Tencent is pulling the strings on 'Hunyuan', their new AI being tested across various spheres, including gaming, advertising, cloud computing, and fintech. Keep an eye out, fellow tech enthusiasts! [Decode the News] With AI’s birth being around gaming first - it’s interesting to see where this goes. And with Open AI buying a gaming company too…

3️⃣ Bringing AI to Classrooms📚:

No specific details yet, but signs are that many different schools and colleges are launching AI courses for high school students. We'll keep our binoculars focused on this potentially game-changing initiative. As the next generation needs to know this stuff. It’s fun to see the u-turns of many of those in education (Including in my own family..!)

4️⃣ Fishy Business at exGoogle? 🐠:

Tech buffs, join us in the anyone-can-do-it hive as former Google and Stability AI researchers take cues from the buzzing bees and swift-swimming fish for their cutting-edge AI startup! [Dive into this Story]

5️⃣ Marching Soldiers to Reskill💼:

Brace yourselves, fellow tech practitioners! IBM's recent study forecasts a whopping 40% of us needing to reskill within the next three years thanks to our AI comrades. [Enhance your Insight])

6️⃣ Marrying Music with AI🎶:

YouTube's taking a harmonious leap of faith partnering with the music industry to orchestrate AI that respects and protects artistic creativity. Now, isn't that a sweet symphony? [Crescendo through this bit] Especially with the all new AI Marketing Course talking about how you can create your own music with AI tools. Now the BIG players are realising this too. Is this the future of music? And if so … There are BIG implications for the rest of us.

Remember the music industry is often the bellwether of technology. Remember Napster. And the CD. Music gets it first…

7️⃣ Grimoires and the Magic of AI🧙‍♂️:

Ever wondered how we can handle the capabilities of AI? Well, here's a blog post from a very wise AI expert Ethan Mollick (who I quote in practically all my AI keynotes) in this blog he that suggests grimoires (magical books) may be the answer.

What does he mean by this. Well learning what the AI Marketing Course is teaching all about the creation of characters and super prompts. Ready for some techno-sorcery? [Summon the source here]

8️⃣ Microsoft's AI Capabilities on Windows 11🖥️:

In a refreshing twist, bringing it’s own magic, Microsoft seems to be finally planning new AI features for its apps, including Photos, the Snipping Tool, and Paint. That's the future, knocking on your Windows! [Ignite your Curiosity Here]

Remember they didn’t invest 10 billion in Open AI for nothing.

9️⃣ Facebook’s SeamlessM4T, Breaking Language Barriers🌐:

Facebook jumps onto the AI wagon with SeamlessM4T, its new AI translation model. With their innovative endeavour, Facebook aims to close linguistic gaps and facilitate unhindered communication. Ready for an AI-guided tour around the world with no language barriers? Discover more here.

This is BIGGER news than a lot of people think. As now everything can be instantly translated and dubbed. (The AI Marketing Course in Spanish without me having to fail at learning Spanish again…. Lol.)

1️⃣0️⃣ The Puzzle of AGI, Unravelled by Mark Riedl:

Is AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) a foregone conclusion? Not quite, suggests Mark Riedl in his enlightening blog post. Dive in as he outlines what's amiss in the journey toward achieving AI systems that emulate or perhaps even outpace human performance in broad-scale tasks. Explore this Thought Piece

I have been saying this for a few years, we aren’t near AGI, but the thing is we don’t need it to change the world. The world of work with just the AI and technology we have RIGHT NOW equally distributed would boost productivity by trillions and happiness for by billions.

Now that’s worth thinking about. How do we help that happen? I guess that’s why I made the AI Marketing Course…

Hope you enjoyed this month’s update about technology, the future of work, marketing and AI.

Here’s to you and your long weekend - if you have one 🙂 

Yours truly
