Generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) and its underlying foundation models represent a paradigm shift in innovation, significantly impacting enterprises exploring AI applications. For the first time, because of generative AI models, we have systems that understand natural language at a near-human level and can generate and synthesize output in various media, including text and images. Enabling this technology are powerful, general foundation models that serve as a basis or starting point for developing other, more specialized generative AI models. These foundation models are trained on vast amounts of data. When prompted with natural language instructions, one can use these learnings in a context-specific manner to generate an output of astonishing sophistication. An analogy to generative AI used to create images may be the talented artist who, in response to a patron’s instructions, combines her lifelong exposure to other artists’ work with her inspiration to create something entirely novel.
The Imagination In Action conference at Samberg Conference Center (MIT) gathered the brightest minds in AI, such as Stephen Wolfram of Wolfram Alpha and Wolfram Research, Vinod Khoskla of Khoshla Ventures, Brian Halligan (Hubspot co-founder), Lauren Clement (VP Prudential), Lisa Huang (Head of AI at Fidelity Investments) Karl Roessner (CEO Vestmark), Catherine Havasi (Chief of Innovation Babel Street), Lex Fridman (MIT luminary) Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) and many more.
Imagination in Action @MIT aims to educate and motivate startups, founders, and entrepreneurs on building successful AI-focused companies, attracting a diverse audience passionate about AI’s transformative potential. The event will feature keynote speakers and panels discussing AI applications in personalization, risk assessment, predictive analytics, and decision-making, while offering networking opportunities with industry experts. Attendees can anticipate groundbreaking insights that could ignite the next wave of AI innovation.

When Medium blogs and the NPR show “Hear and Now” highlights a “shiny object”; it might be an inflection point. That, or it’s close to the holidays and something needs to be wrapped up with a marketing bow and presented to the board, and to the masses before the end of the year. Voilà: more AI generated content and the new tools to create it. It’s all the rage; haven’t you heard? As a relatively newbie to this space, it’s intriguing, but I’m not sure if it really deserves all the hype that it’s receiving. Over the years, improved technologies have been made available to the masses to create content such as spell checking word processors, autocompletion email programs, image enhancers, music composition effects, and video production; to name a few. Welcome the new publicly facing and consumable examples of how the masses can create content, now with AI. […] This recent news […] has raised a few interesting topics in recent conversations around AI Content Generators, adding to the buzz.
