Hi Hitchhikers!

I’m excited to share this latest podcast episode, where I interview Charlie Newark-French, CEO of Hyperscience, which provides AI-powered automation solutions for enterprise customers. This is a must-listen if you are either a founder considering starting an AI startup for Enterprise or an Enterprise leader thinking about investing in AI.

Charlie has a background in economics, management, and investing. Prior to Hyperscience, he was a late-stage venture investor and management consultant, so he also has some really interesting views on how AI will impact industry, employment, and society in the future.

In this podcast, Charlie and I talk about how Hyperscience uses machine learning to automate document collection and data extraction in legacy industries like banking and insurance. We discuss how the latest large-scale language models like GTP-4 can be leveraged in enterprise and he shares his thoughts on the future of work where every employee is augmented by AI. We also touch on how AI startups should approach solving problems in the enterprise space and how enterprise buyers think about investing in AI and measuring ROI.

Finally, I get Charlie’s perspective on Artificial General Intelligence or AGI, how it might change our future, and the responsibility of governments to prepare us for this future.

I hope you enjoy the episode!
