LISTEN NOW: Advanced AI Investment (13 MIN)

Navigating the AI Frontier. Originally written July 2024

This episode, we will explore the implications of frontier AI models for investors, founders, and industry leaders.

A technological revolution that promises to reshape our world in ways we are only beginning to comprehend. The emergence of frontier AI models such as GPT-4, Claude 3, and Gemini Ultra marks a transformative era characterized by unprecedented advancements and capabilities. These highly capable general-purpose AI systems are not just pushing the boundaries of what's possible but redrawing the map entirely.

As we examine this landscape, it's essential to understand that the terrain of AI investments is shifting beneath our feet. The metrics and methodologies that served us well in the past are no longer sufficient to gauge the potential and risks associated with cutting-edge AI companies.

We need a new compass, a new set of tools to navigate this uncharted territory. We firmly believe that AI systems must respect human rights, embrace diversity, and promote fairness. As we chart the course of artificial intelligence in the coming years, a diversified investment strategy that includes both incremental scaling and revolutionary innovations will be essential. This approach will ensure that AI evolves into a powerful tool that benefits humanity, minimizes risks, and adheres to ethical standards, ultimately leading to more responsible and beneficial applications across various domains.

At 1Infinity Ventures, we recognize our role in shaping this future. Our commitment to investing in diverse AI initiatives, supporting startups from underrepresented regions, and prioritizing technologies bridging cultural divides is more than a business strategy - our contribution to a more equitable global AI landscape.

The question before us is not whether AI will transform our world—it already has. The real question is whether we will harness its power to reinforce old hierarchies or to build a new, more equitable global order. As we move forward, let us choose the latter, working tirelessly to ensure that the benefits of AI are shared equitably across the globe, respecting and celebrating the rich diversity of human experience.

Together, we can ensure that the AI revolution becomes a rising tide that truly lifts all boats, creating a future where technology empowers and unites us all.


As a side note and in full transparency, I do use today’s LLMs and teach students and professionals how to use them as productive tools. However, part of the curriculum teaches the issues and limitations and how to mitigate them.
