00:00:00.010 --> 00:01:14.680
is your artificial intelligence finished when it works or only when it can't be broken? Let's find out today's amazing special guest, Qing Zhang And I'm so excited to have you here because it's such a revolutionary time in And as someone who comes from the investor side of it, you're seeing everything like before the rest of us.
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:20.932
Like someone comes to you with an idea and they have these ideas, and it's often like just a demo or a first idea.
00:01:21.081 --> 00:01:24.593
What are the things that right now are getting you like really excited?
00:01:24.742 --> 00:01:31.384
There's a lot. on the other hand, o on one hand we're we're looking at a lot of like AI infrastructure ~ deals.
00:01:31.384 --> 00:01:37.548
everything from providing power and was reading about liquid cooling a lot, it's really getting popularity.
00:01:37.548 --> 00:01:42.730
On the other hand, it's all about getting accelerated, being better adopted into the enterprise.
00:01:42.730 --> 00:01:53.350
Seems like there's still a big gap in enterprise adoption to really lead into AGI which is the really hot word, and there's a lot of supporting systems that need to be built.
00:01:53.350 --> 00:01:57.460
Like security is one key part of it that we spent a lot of time looking at.
00:01:57.611 --> 00:02:10.258
So when it comes to security, when I first started way back in the nineties, every building had a server room where all of the data was and it didn't leave the building. Do you think there's a future where AI starts Mm.
00:02:09.740 --> 00:02:10.911
to move in that direction again?
00:02:10.911 --> 00:02:13.212
Like we've moved to the cloud and now we're moving back.
00:02:13.212 --> 00:02:15.465
We're going, data's in the building, at least I know where it is.
00:02:15.545 --> 00:02:18.927
Absolutely. That's a that's a very that's a very good point.
00:02:18.927 --> 00:02:44.472
Actually, I feel like it's redefining security, redefining parameters, redefining identity in every single way because AI is kind of like our digital companions and~ they can do anything as a human being can do. and they talk to each other without even we knowing it. So there's have to be ways that we keep track of it closely, both on cow and also on premise.
00:02:44.472 --> 00:03:16.056
So we're seeing companies building really cool technologies to cover every single piece of it. still there's a lot of challenge because if you're using like of agents per one person, if you add it up, it's like a huge army. And how do you keep track of everything, right? So there's a lot of ~ service exposed a lot of potential risks being there and agents are becoming very smaller and smaller ~ as we are also ~ quite familiar with ~ methos and Hugging Face so there's a lot going on there.
00:03:16.205 --> 00:03:24.129
Yeah, I’m dodging things thing is very interesting because I love how they said, the AI went rogue and I'm like, Did it? Or were you like, Did you give it a little hint?
00:03:24.129 --> 00:03:26.139
You know, like it's like hard to know what's real.
00:03:26.139 --> 00:03:30.532
And that's what's really challenging, which is now your computer can be socially engineered.
00:03:30.532 --> 00:03:45.008
So like your agent can be tricked or deceived, and even as early as ChatGeep three point five, you were trying to get it to answer questions it's not supposed to by saying, I'm writing a book or I'm writing a movie or this is a game or we're playing pretend. So People have been engineering AIs for a long time.
00:03:45.008 --> 00:03:54.603
Like as soon as they could, people want to see if they can get it to do something naughty. a lot of the news right now is about chips, like memory prices going up, up, up, up, up. And that's what everyone's really focused on.
00:03:54.603 --> 00:03:57.003
Is that really the bottleneck for AI?
00:03:57.003 --> 00:04:00.257
Or is that just kind of the headline that's distracting everyone right now?
00:04:00.407 --> 00:04:05.368
think it's definitely the headline and it is the bottleneck in many cases.
00:04:05.368 --> 00:04:18.418
however they were seeing potential new species coming out which is very very like the Jalapenos and then people are talking about open AI's chip and~ all the hyperscalers building their own chip eventually.
00:04:18.418 --> 00:04:23.500
but building or designing one chip is one part of the long value chain.
00:04:23.500 --> 00:04:26.463
There's everything that started from power.
00:04:26.613 --> 00:04:30.685
and all the way to manufacturing of the chips and getting deployed.
00:04:30.685 --> 00:04:35.579
So that I think ~ not to say, you know, the software system that surrounding the chips.
00:04:35.579 --> 00:04:38.089
So it's a it's a very long value chain.
00:04:38.089 --> 00:04:52.887
And w at the end of the day, we need to solve the power problem and how to be more efficient, with intelligence per watt, right? ~ so I I think that's that's definitely another very important key factor that we should take into account.
00:04:53.038 --> 00:05:06.867
Yeah, a lot of times people think that AI is in the cloud until they're trying to build a data center in your town and suddenly you realize the infrastructure, the electricity routes, the water, all these things change because they use massive amounts of energy and resources.
00:05:06.867 --> 00:05:08.504
And Mm.
00:05:07.930 --> 00:05:14.132
at first we all thought the big value was tokens, but they're starting to become A commodity. Like the difference Mm.
00:05:13.783 --> 00:05:18.755
between an anthropic token and AI token is getting closer and closer, and the Chinese models are really catching up.
00:05:18.755 --> 00:05:25.709
And sometimes it's like the frontier models from America are maybe three weeks of the Asian models. And that gap is closing.
00:05:25.709 --> 00:05:35.572
It's only a matter of time until they actually take the lead for a sniff amount of time.

And living in Asia, I'm experienced that all the time in this idea we'll always stay ahead. You just don't know.
00:05:35.572 --> 00:05:43.444
And the prices for you know, Grok comes out and says, we'll do same value to power tokens, one eighth the price. It changes what people think something is worth.
00:05:43.444 --> 00:05:49.526
And so now the value, it seems like if tokens are a commodity, what do these big AI companies sell?
00:05:49.526 --> 00:05:51.396
Like how do they capture market share?
00:05:51.396 --> 00:05:53.668
How do they become a USP? Like how do differentiate?
00:05:53.668 --> 00:05:57.769
Because I look at the leaderboards always like our model is.01% better.
00:05:57.769 --> 00:06:00.129
I'm like, that's so it's an undetectable difference.
00:06:00.129 --> 00:06:07.966
Most people can't tell Like if I have two AIs and one can do a ninety-nine on an LSAT and one can do a ninety-eight, I can't tell the difference.
00:06:07.966 --> 00:06:09.478
They're both good lawyers to me.
00:06:09.478 --> 00:06:16.264
So how do AI companies differentiate or what do you think is going to become the real value in the post token world?
00:06:16.413 --> 00:06:24.285
That is ~ very very ~ hot debate now and I think there are many ways or KPIs if you want to put into the models.
00:06:24.285 --> 00:06:33.172
~ you brought up a really good point that~ one one of them is price per token, which is becoming, you know, more commoditized with time.
00:06:33.172 --> 00:06:41.283
And then w should we really price it around tokens or really price it around like real G D P real value and how do you measure value?
00:06:41.283 --> 00:06:49.470
I think that's kind of becoming more important that ~ enterprises pay attention to because at the end of the day they're paying for like all the token consumed.
00:06:49.470 --> 00:06:55.564
They need to benchmark it to the value, the ROI for their own ~ for for themselves.
00:06:55.564 --> 00:07:09.425
So I think there are many parameters like price is one, consistency, performance, that that that including like some of the new cloud or cloud providers they're very actively building their own infrastructure.
00:07:09.425 --> 00:07:19.718
Like Nadius acquired this company CoIgan to use their inference platform and we see that kind of acquisitions happen all the time.
00:07:19.718 --> 00:07:28.586
and some of the the other like enterprises they also have a very huge developer team to build infrastructure for themselves within the enterprises.
00:07:28.586 --> 00:07:35.458
And we're seeing like people building like from the bottom layer moving up and to the agent layer.
00:07:35.458 --> 00:07:45.062
So there's a lot of things being built in terms of how do how do you measure performance. It's not just token anymore, service, it's cost, it's security.
00:07:45.062 --> 00:08:02.562
So we can't really get away with any of one single parameter, have to kind of like a scoreboard and then pick which one's r the the right one
for you. I think that's also leads to open router becoming important like you you have to pick from which model you use and then which inference platform you use and the post training and all that.
00:08:02.562 --> 00:08:05.173
So it's a kind of a s a a system engineering problem.
00:08:05.324 --> 00:08:11.295
Yeah, and the challenge with tokens is if the AI gets it wrong, it costs the same as if it gets it right.
00:08:11.295 --> 00:08:15.903
I have to pay it to do the job twice, which is the same thing as having like a frustrating employee.
00:08:15.903 --> 00:08:19.694
And earlier on you brought up security, which I think is the next frontier.
00:08:19.694 --> 00:08:24.848
And one of the challenges is, you know, a lot of our audiences, CEOs and boards of directors.
00:08:24.848 --> 00:08:27.930
And if the board says to the CEO, is our AI secure?
00:08:28.081 --> 00:08:30.625
How do they know? What does the right honest look like?
00:08:30.625 --> 00:08:33.870
And how can they actually say, yes, our AI is like how do they know?
00:08:33.870 --> 00:08:36.573
And how can we get to a place where you can know your AI is secure?
00:08:36.573 --> 00:08:38.105
What does that future look like?
00:08:38.254 --> 00:08:48.028
tough. I spoke with a very senior advisor in this talking about how does how to communicate the importance of security to the board level.
00:08:48.028 --> 00:08:56.932
it's tough. sometimes it's also a balance between how much people use AI versus how s how much security do you want to guarantee.
00:08:56.932 --> 00:09:07.870
it's kind of like A bad analogy would be you know, you wanna be very healthy, so you kind of like stay away from all the all the po potentially harmful food or something.
00:09:07.870 --> 00:09:11.604
I mean it's it's hard to balance, right? I mean in life it's hard to make that choice.
00:09:11.604 --> 00:09:34.538
If you want to be c a hundred percent secure, then you like do nothing. but given so many different models and different everything's AI now. The threat number thing is ~ converging of AI into cyber. So we have been active looking at ~ AI native solutions is which is very different from the traditional firewalls or cloud security.
00:09:34.538 --> 00:09:50.648
that's that's one and we we we team it up with ~ our understanding of AI infrastructure and try to you have to be really up to date about what's going on in technology and then find ways to defend it or protect your assets.
00:09:50.798 --> 00:09:54.259
and not just in the IT world, we also look at the O T world.
00:09:54.259 --> 00:10:08.552
Across across the IT and O T. That's where you're kind of like living into the physical world. So there's a so from that perspective it's again, we try to provide so the the board will need as much of information as possible to make the decision.
00:10:08.552 --> 00:10:10.692
But no one can say it's hundred percent.
00:10:10.692 --> 00:10:12.844
If you can retract ninety nine percent is pretty good.
00:10:12.994 --> 00:10:23.466
Yeah, I think that we the challenge is if you want your AI to talk to the internet, there's always a vector. Like if it's talking to it, the only truly secure is like an aircraft computer in a room no one can get into.
00:10:23.466 --> 00:10:32.480
And it's like, well, that's not very useful because no one can get to it, but it's secure. And I think that we're trying to figure out what is the right risk profile to have.
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:35.370
We don't want to be a hundred percent secure because you can't use it.
00:10:35.370 --> 00:10:42.504
We don't want to be zero percent secure because all our data is out there, and it's like The definition of secure is getting we're trying to figure out what that means.
00:10:42.504 --> 00:10:47.888
It's like, well, how do I stop my AI chatbot from promising a refund for product we don't refunds for?
00:10:47.888 --> 00:10:50.099
Or how do I because you have to honor that?
00:10:50.099 --> 00:10:53.751
Like now we're discovering you can't just say the AI said it still counts.
00:10:53.751 --> 00:10:55.692
It's not a pa you can't pass the blame.
00:10:54.624 --> 00:10:55.624
Exactly. Yeah.
00:10:55.773 --> 00:11:01.076
And when a company's AI does get hit, what usually breaks first? Is it the model?
00:11:01.076 --> 00:11:03.447
Is it the data or is it the people trusting it?
00:11:03.447 --> 00:11:05.562
What's the Kind of biggest problem right now.
00:11:05.712 --> 00:11:07.443
all of the all all of the above.
00:11:07.443 --> 00:11:09.965
it's really but how you measure it.
00:11:09.965 --> 00:11:22.451
It's like is your what's your data loss is like,~ is it disrupted workflow, is it just crackdown of your ~ entire architecture, like you have to shut it off and and patch it.
00:11:22.451 --> 00:11:29.114
it's same with ~ actually speaking of like the OET world, like the physical world of security, it's very similar.
00:11:29.144 --> 00:11:40.830
think about if you're deploying thousands of robots at your factory and one thing cracks down. The robot might do crazy stuff, right? So it's you really need to have containment and solution.
00:11:40.830 --> 00:11:52.284
they can be pretty dangerous. ~ so we see c enterprises really are willing to pay for the most invaluable assets that they can't afford to lose or can't afford to be messed around.
00:11:52.284 --> 00:12:02.591
yeah, same as, you know, if you're protecting your kids it probably We use all kinds of solutions to prevent from internet scams and all the way to tracking locations.
00:12:02.591 --> 00:12:16.894
so that's what we're w we have one company in the supply chain logistics space that does exactly that. So give you the f real time tracking of locations of your most valuable goods and that's that that's very valuable in terms of have providing that intel.
00:12:17.044 --> 00:12:22.852
And a lot of companies now are using the term AI native, but they're not really sure Mm.
00:12:22.245 --> 00:12:25.986
what it
means. Because in my life now, the definition of AI has changed so much.
00:12:25.986 --> 00:12:28.158
And then it was weak AI and strong AI.
00:12:28.158 --> 00:12:39.394
Now we use words like AGI. But what does it really mean to be AI native. And my other question is like when it comes to security, I've noticed that startups chase growth first.
00:12:39.394 --> 00:12:42.287
Like the last person they hire is the chief security officer.
00:12:42.287 --> 00:12:44.447
The last thing they want to do is that because they're chasing growth.
00:12:44.447 --> 00:13:06.309
How can a company that's like looking to be cutting edge and goes, the startup's amazing and they want to jump on board, but they're also like, they have no security kind of thing in part of their policies. And I've Having been in the startup world, it's very there's like a play as close to the fire as you can without getting caught kind of game. How do you manage your risk profile as a VC firm when you go?
00:13:06.309 --> 00:13:08.600
We don't you don't want to be in the news with one of those stories.
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:13.893
Like I don't want to be the, you know, prompt engineer, right? That gave a lawyer bad advice and then it was fake cases.
00:13:13.893 --> 00:13:15.942
Like I'm like, I never want to be the news story.
00:13:15.942 --> 00:13:18.094
So how do you manage your risk profile?
00:13:18.244 --> 00:13:22.057
You mean as a firm or how we help portfolio manage their risk profile?
00:13:20.878 --> 00:13:24.505
Both. So as a firm and when you're looking at maybe you guys should hire Both. All right. Hmm.
00:13:24.280 --> 00:13:25.280
a security officer.
00:13:26.268 --> 00:13:29.284
Right. I start from as a firm.
00:13:29.284 --> 00:13:40.244
yes we are. We are we're actively learning from ~ our cyber experts around us, mostly the founders, and we really when we're doing diligence is one of the questions like are we a potential customer?
00:13:40.394 --> 00:13:42.706
And we should we should explore that option.
00:13:42.706 --> 00:13:48.940
So I think we're really lucky to be given, you know, the breadth and depth of what's going what's was available out there.
00:13:48.940 --> 00:14:02.999
And in terms of how we have portfolio companies it's simpler, it's quite straightforward, is what we always do is to build portfolio synergies among them. Some some of our portfolio can be other portfolios customer or a partner. That's our ideal situation.
00:14:02.999 --> 00:14:04.720
So we're doing a lot of those.
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:12.455
We don't we're very lean and small and ~ we don't we don't really our day to day is quite straightforward.
00:14:12.455 --> 00:14:22.407
We don't need to manage like the huge CRM or our most valuable assets is our information or NDAs and all the intel, the the information that we need to protect.
00:14:22.407 --> 00:14:31.442
So we cannot use any public, you know, like AI tools and s and ~ or just upload things which is pretty dangerous.
00:14:31.442 --> 00:14:39.292
so we we do have practice at our firm that~ we don't We don't ~ upload things shouldn't be exposed out there.
00:14:39.292 --> 00:14:46.615
yeah, so you mentioned earlier that ~ sorry, w what was the first thing you said earlier, the very first comment.
00:14:45.378 --> 00:14:46.378
Not AI native?
00:14:47.254 --> 00:14:48.816
but it's yes, that's right, thank you.
00:14:48.816 --> 00:14:51.197
yes, it's widely used the word.
00:14:51.197 --> 00:15:23.447
to me it's more about intention than digging deep into what it actually should I think many companies use the word because they are intentionally or welcoming or using AI. however,~ I do think for AI native companies they they do look very different from a traditional company trying to adopt AI because the whole architecture and understanding of what AI can do, not just now but in the near future, you have to understand the past and pr and predicting looking into the future.
00:15:23.596 --> 00:15:25.787
to be more actively adopting it.
00:15:25.787 --> 00:15:35.958
And also design the the org chart,~ the IT structure all around it, and that's non trivial. You almost have to reinvent yourself to do that.
00:15:35.958 --> 00:15:47.640
It's it's truly trivial. Not to say the the engineers, I mean the ~ the talent, the workforce your your you have in your enter y your company will be completely different as well.
00:15:47.640 --> 00:15:53.573
So that's that's also one of the most important things that companies need to have that level of understanding.
00:15:53.573 --> 00:16:05.518
And and many don't because there aren't many s there aren't so many AI scientists or AI engineers that you call it ~ can actually build a very sophisticated infrastructure and knows all the tools up to date.
00:16:05.518 --> 00:16:10.461
So that is a always a talent shortage question that we're looking at as well.
00:16:10.610 --> 00:16:18.205
So a couple of years ago, everyone was a prompt engineer and I used to write about that a lot in my articles and Now that's kind of disappeared.
00:16:18.205 --> 00:16:21.606
And then now everyone I get a lot of job offers for GTM engineering.
00:16:21.606 --> 00:16:22.985
Like I get a lot of cold outreach.
00:16:22.985 --> 00:16:25.210
I'm sure you do too. I get like 10 job offers a day.
00:16:25.210 --> 00:16:27.306
And like, Wow.
00:16:26.721 --> 00:16:28.953
you know, and it's always GTM engineering.
00:16:28.953 --> 00:16:30.024
And like that's the hot thing.
00:16:30.024 --> 00:16:33.537
Like, and especially because of clay, like made everyone think it was this new thing.
00:16:33.537 --> 00:16:34.815
And Mm.
00:16:35.067 --> 00:16:37.220
what do you think is kind of gonna be the next thing?
00:16:37.220 --> 00:16:41.293
Because a lot of the challenges people have is kind of training for the last job.
00:16:41.293 --> 00:16:44.404
So like now people are in GTM engineering by the time they master it.
00:16:44.554 --> 00:16:50.648
It's out the
past. Like I've already moved on to the next thing for myself, but like I don't know what the next name is gonna be.
00:16:50.648 --> 00:16:51.927
Like the names constantly change.
00:16:51.927 --> 00:17:02.513
And so people who want to enter the workforce, like the thought of like entering college right now and doing, I'm preparing for this job, whatever job you're preparing for in four years will have a different name because the cycle is very fast right now.
00:17:02.513 --> 00:17:09.757
So how can people what do you think the direction is and what is like the next frontier of jobs and what should they be focusing on so they're really hireable in the new market?
00:17:09.906 --> 00:17:11.248
Yeah, it's really cruel, right?
00:17:11.248 --> 00:17:17.653
Like in four years' time the world has changed and the major yell you picked is no longer relevant. That's that's really scary.
00:17:17.653 --> 00:17:20.115
we have been talking about this for quite some time.
00:17:20.115 --> 00:17:44.564
Like the question is what will not be replaced by AI if you know everything can be more if the A AI can be really powerful and we are relatively probably in in GI stage already. If not in a few months we probably will be will be very close to that. I I I would say it's still, you know, humanity, culture, understanding of how the world works.
00:17:44.564 --> 00:17:57.854
there's a lot of those. in near term it might be product, service. So deep understanding of a particular industries or domain knowledge is still very valuable because you don't learn it from reading or coding.
00:17:57.854 --> 00:18:04.317
You know, y you just you have to interact with like ten, twenty, thirty different B Us.
00:18:04.317 --> 00:18:08.971
and to to know how the sophisticated machine like an enterprise runs.
00:18:08.971 --> 00:18:11.022
I think that's that's very valuable.
00:18:11.022 --> 00:18:34.165
It y you have to have that domain expert knowledge to actually make influence or change things. So we see that time and time again that there's great founders from big corporations and big enterprises and they know the system well enough inside out and they see things that are not perfect and then they come out leveraging the latest technologies and build something truly impactful.
00:18:34.165 --> 00:18:36.710
I think that's that's the pattern that we love the most.
00:18:36.859 --> 00:18:43.738
Yeah, a lot of a lot of people are so focused on the tools they get stuck in that one thing, which I'm very good at this thing.
00:18:43.738 --> 00:18:46.869
And I kind of think about that is kind of becoming a commodity.
00:18:46.869 --> 00:18:48.750
Like coding will eventually become a commodity.
00:18:48.750 --> 00:18:54.484
And I think of it like a 3D printer can make anything, but it's you have to tell it what to make.
00:18:54.484 --> 00:19:02.731
And in the same way, like when I try to describe what I do, it's like mostly riddles. Mostly a client describes their problem to me and I have to figure out what they actually mean.
00:19:02.731 --> 00:19:04.413
Because it's never how they describe it.
00:19:04.413 --> 00:19:05.503
It's always something different.
00:19:05.653 --> 00:19:16.830
And a lot of times they'll say, This is the end result I want, but it's not really, they'll say, I want a lot of phone calls. I go, What if a thousand people call you, but nobody buys? So you don't want a lot of phone calls.
00:19:16.830 --> 00:19:19.452
What do you really? And that's like a little bit of investigatory.
00:19:19.452 --> 00:19:21.983
And it's always asking those secondary and tertiary questions.
00:19:21.983 --> 00:19:24.226
What do you really want? What really is your vision for the future?
00:19:24.226 --> 00:19:26.886
And how do you want the content delivered?
00:19:26.886 --> 00:19:36.895
And that's really the critical thing I do. And it sounds like silly because it doesn't suck, but I can look at a complicated problem and kind of flow chart it, figure out the pieces, like building a mousetra.
00:19:36.895 --> 00:19:43.551
And I think that translation layer, especially when I was working as a CTO, because you have we had a very creative CEO.
00:19:43.551 --> 00:19:46.693
And then I would talk to the the developers, they're like, we don't know what he means.
00:19:46.693 --> 00:19:52.138
He's he's describing a rainbow because you like it's like that thing where you say like, what do you want it to look like?
00:19:52.138 --> 00:19:53.680
And they go, I want it to be more kinetic.
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:55.201
And you're like, what does that mean?
00:19:55.352 --> 00:19:56.895
It's like an exciting word. It's Yeah.
00:19:56.893 --> 00:19:59.751
and so it's that constant ~ Mm.
00:19:59.074 --> 00:20:14.391
challenge and that ability to translate, I think, is exactly right. I also am seeing just the ability to talk to people and to communicate is becoming like a high value skill because less and less people are comfortable on the phone, less and less people are comfortable like just chatting to strangers.
00:20:14.391 --> 00:20:23.155
And I think that because we've gotten so used to talking to our phones and like One of my neighbors today was like he was he overheard someone talking on the phone to their AI girlfriend.
00:20:23.155 --> 00:20:24.307
He's like, Wow, it's already here.
00:20:24.307 --> 00:20:26.647
And it's like already that's like in public.
00:20:26.647 --> 00:20:33.811
Like I thought that's like, you know, we're already at that phase. Like, I remember when you did when you met someone on the internet, you would say, Let's make up a story of how we met.
00:20:33.811 --> 00:20:35.442
Let's not tell everyone we met on Facebook.
00:20:35.442 --> 00:20:37.213
And now it's like so acceptable.
00:20:37.213 --> 00:20:45.509
So the traditional skills, like I'm finding the most Important skill in my business is my ability to chat on the phone, which used to be my least important skill.
00:20:45.509 -->
00:20:49.260
And I think a lot of engineers, when they're like, Why didn't I get promoted?
00:20:49.260 --> 00:20:55.844
Why is the person who's always stealing credit getting promoted because they're likable? And it's like, Well, the soft skills really are important.
00:20:55.844 --> 00:20:57.615
Unfortunately, we don't teach them enough in college.
00:20:57.615 --> 00:21:08.381
I think we don't kind of have a say how important it is to be able to get along with your coworkers and to not get jealous and to build relationships and alliances like really critical skills. And unfortunately we're kind of missing that.
00:21:08.381 --> 00:21:22.194
And I think that that's another frontier skill that because there's so many GTM engineers, just like there were so many prompt engineers, and just like there's so many people that now the skill becomes can you talk to someone, understand what they want, and then explain it to the AI?
00:21:22.194 --> 00:21:24.546
I think that's going to be a bridge for a long time.
00:21:24.546 --> 00:21:40.239
I guess my last question is like when you see the frontiers and you see all the things coming in front of you today, like We talked about security, talked about infrastructure and hardware and like what do you think is like the most exciting frontier for the next five to ten years that like has you really excited about AI or just technology in general?
00:21:40.388 --> 00:21:44.701
This is the prediction time. ~ by the way, I totally agree with your comment earlier.
00:21:44.701 --> 00:21:46.832
I think ~ just one quick note.
00:21:46.832 --> 00:21:52.034
~ my background is in ma in is trained as a ~ is i is in healthcare and medicine.
00:21:52.034 --> 00:21:56.015
So I'm actually trained a doctor and then we have this course on communication.
00:21:56.015 --> 00:21:57.926
You have to communicate to all different parties.
00:21:57.926 --> 00:22:00.087
I feel that I benefited a lot from that course.
00:22:00.087 --> 00:22:03.019
I wish, you know, we have more communication and lessons.
00:22:03.019 --> 00:22:06.631
I mean maybe in may maybe in college that's ~ people can benefit from.
00:22:06.780 --> 00:22:08.471
talk to different parties from early on.
00:22:08.471 --> 00:22:13.035
yes, so prediction. I I'm very excited about technologies in general.
00:22:13.035 --> 00:22:16.987
Part of the reason is we're seeing a broad range of deep tech.
00:22:16.987 --> 00:22:23.410
actually if you but if you break it down, ever every technology has its cycles, has its winters and summers, right?
00:22:23.410 --> 00:22:34.528
Doesn't you count how many winters AI has or and how many winters that biotech has or other technologies has like Space Pack, there's so many ups and downs.
00:22:34.528 --> 00:22:42.219
So it's hard to predict you know almost no technology has a smooth, keep rising path like to be adopted.
00:22:42.219 --> 00:22:43.650
So there's always ups and downs.
00:22:43.650 --> 00:22:46.441
And the interesting part is the matching game.
00:22:46.441 --> 00:22:51.344
Like how do you match your technology at the right time for a proper problem.
00:22:51.344 --> 00:22:57.434
and then you have a proper proper product that can solve the problem you have a good you have a good business potentially.
00:22:57.434 --> 00:23:00.205
So that's like the matching game is very interesting.
00:23:00.205 --> 00:23:07.548
And if you misgauge the matching game, it will be great technology being invented, looking for a problem to solve.
00:23:07.548 --> 00:23:10.499
And ~ it's always challenging in that case.
00:23:10.499 --> 00:23:18.730
So you have to keep I I would love to start from what is LMET needs and finding the right technology to solve that needs.
00:23:18.881 --> 00:23:23.633
The right one doesn't mean it's the it's the best, the fattest fastest or the most fancy one.
00:23:23.633 --> 00:23:40.232
It has to be the right one. so it's it's it's really exciting to see we have a lot of technologies flourishing and also thanks to, for example, the fundamental ones like AI, it's it's fueling like science advanced, it's fueling many other technologies moving forward in a faster pace.
00:23:40.232 --> 00:23:43.375
So we we find that we we find that very interesting.
00:23:43.525 --> 00:23:48.708
ma many of our investments sit at the cross disciplinary technology.
00:23:48.708 --> 00:23:58.771
And ~ we find that AI plus other stuff can generate really magical, interesting outcomes. And that's what we're pretty passionate about.
00:23:58.922 --> 00:24:00.762
I think that's amazing and really exciting.
00:24:00.762 --> 00:24:02.884
So I appreciate so much your time.
00:24:02.884 --> 00:24:06.498
I know your time is so valuable and our audience is just gonna love this episode.
00:24:06.498 --> 00:24:12.063
So thank you so much for being here today for just an amazing episode of the Artificial Intelligence Podcast.
00:24:12.212 --> 00:24:14.755
Thank you, Jonathan. This has been fantastic.
00:24:14.755 --> 00:24:17.237
I appreciate their comments. That's really brilliant.
