How fast do you OODA ❓ 👉 There is another quote for Col Boyd that I think fits in these times - “Machines don’t fight wars. Terrain doesn’t fight wars. People fight wars, and they use their minds.” 🤔 The growing problem with genAI is that too many people rely on it and have stopped using their brains. 🤓 No matter how good the tool is, it can't replace critical thinking. hashtag#AI should augment our critical thinking ability, not replace it. Check out my latest blog. Let me know what you think. 👇 burstiq.com/the-ooda-loop/

😕 “I have sensitive “stuff” in my business, but I know I must implement AI to be competitive.  How do I use AI without compromising my stuff?”    Every executive on the planet. Other ways to describe the AI Conundrum 👇 “The pressure is on to implement AI and now I have to figure out Agentic AI.” “I must protect my organization’s data & intellectual property.” “AI should enhance my business and not expose it to unnecessary risk.” “AI should empower my employees to work more strategically, not pose a threat to them.” “Trust and accountability are non-negotiable.” 🙌 BurstIQ hashtag#LifeGraph is the AI data management platform that harnesses the trust and security of blockchain for the Agentic AI era. 🏆 In other words, with LifeGraph, you can use your stuff safely and securely to leverage AI, including Agentic AI ...... for the win.

💦 DeepSeek AI made a big splash this week, disrupting the underlying economics of creating LLMs. 🤔 A fundamental truth regarding technology innovations is that things get smarter, cheaper, and eventually become commodities. 👉 LLMs will follow this lifecycle. 📈 Agentic AI is more than hype; it is the future.  The benefits and market potential is unlimited. 🤖 AI general intelligence will emerge from collaborative agent networks that transcend organizational boundaries. Agents will work together to make each other smarter. It will not be a single company or government that owns and controls it. 🤝 AI superintelligence will be based on collaborative intelligence – people and AI working together. 🤓 Yes, I’m a big fan of swarm theory for AI.  Always have been. 🤨 Utopia or Dystopia?  Depends on two things – Trust and Accountability.  These should be non-negotiables.   This is where blockchain fits. 😎 These principles have been the foundational building blocks of BurstIQ from the beginning.

I'm excited!!!

‘The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.’ –Alvin Toffler. 👉 In 1970, Alvin Toffler, in collaboration with his wife Adelaide, wrote a landmark book called “Future Shock.”  We are well into the 21st century, about which the book was written, and he is still spot on. Future shock is the psychological state of individuals and entire societies reacting to too much change in too short a period of time. We are definitely living in a future shock time. 🤔 I wonder what he would say about the state of AI today and the pace of change. I’m taking a bit of liberties with his quote, but maybe “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn with their AI companions.” burstiq.com/blog-how-humans-…

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." -- Aristotle

COLLABORATION is the most powerful way to expand human knowledge. In fact, it might be the only way. With AI, we have leveled up from human to human and now have transcended to a new world - human to human to AI.
