AI is not being hyped enough
Large language models (LLMs) have been publicly available for years, but double-digit productivity growth is yet to eventuate. You may be tempted to conclude that AI's impact will be modest. If so, you would be wrong. This talk will share a practitioner's view of the changes currently roiling the global tech sector, and present the bull case for why we should expect them to extend elsewhere through the economy.
