Recently I connected with innovation expert Dave Birss and we have a lot in common. Though he lives an ocean away in England, Birss and I share a fascination with AI and its potential for lifelong learning.
Dave is one of the most popular AI instructors on the Internet with over 275,0000 students and many rave reviews.Birss has a gift for making the complex understandable and even fun. He speaks about AI in plain language, with humor and infectious enthusiasm. Beyond demystifying algorithms for students worldwide, Birss also advises major companies on practical AI implementation. His broad perspective encompasses both blueprints for tomorrow and nuts and bolts for today.
Birss has launched an initiative called the Sensible AI Manifesto, which offers clear guidance on how organizations can smartly incorporate AI as a tool rather than a threat. The manifesto's principles aim to ease concerns many workers feel about the rise of generative AI. I think his ideas are important and helpful for companies in 2024 wondering how to pull together an AI strategy.
