   Inside the Next Transition with Futurist Frank Diana | Ep.173

   What if the next great transition isn’t coming—it's already here? In this episode of FOBtv’s The Future of Business, host Kevin Benedict sits down with TCS Principal Futurist Frank Diana to explore the ideas behind his provocative new book, Inside the Next Transition: Seeing Systemic Change Before Pathways Harden. We examine how today’s pressures become tomorrow’s operating conditions, how technological change ripples through economies, institutions, communities, and everyday life, and why AI is only one piece of a much larger systemic transformation. Link to Frank Diana's Book: https://a.co/d/0fbhuY8E/// Discover more from #FOBtv and connect with Kevin Benedict:Kevin Benedict's Blog: https://mobileenterprisestrategies.blogspot.com/Kevin Benedict on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinbenedict/Kevin Benedict on X: https://x.com/krbenedict///About the Reimagining the Future Series | The Future of BusinessThe Reimagining the Future Series, produced by the Future of Business team, helps our clients and partners see the combinatorial effects of science, technology, digital forces, and societal factors that are rapidly shaping our emerging future.

   The Future of Personal AI with Expert David Espindola | Ep.172

   What happens when AI stops being generic and starts becoming deeply personal? In this episode of FOBtv, I welcome back AI strategist, entrepreneur, author, and BrainyUs founder David Espindola to explore the emerging world of personal AI knowledge systems. We discuss why today’s AI often reflects the “internet’s average,” how AI might learn not just our documents but our ideas, values, experiences, judgment, personality, and voice, and whether it could eventually extend our thinking rather than simply retrieve it. We also explore what this means for companies seeking to preserve institutional knowledge—and ask a fascinating question: Could our intellectual corpus continue thinking, teaching, and answering questions long after we are gone?2:00Q1 You have written about Andrej Karpathy’s idea of an AI maintained personal knowledge base. Tell us what that means and why it’s important.5:41Q2 I’ve been using ChatGPT projects, creating agents that ingests hundreds of my blog articles and then puts them in memory. Is that similar or different?7:46Q3 Thinking about it like a relational database, how do I organize the thoughts so that it is contextual?10:23Q4 Isn’t there a value to getting pluralistic insights from a wide range of viewpoints, rather than just having your own concepts fed back to you?13:41Q5 One challenge with the internet is when you’ve moved on to some new idea, thought, new product, it continues to send the old ideas. Do you see that same challenge?15:54Q6 With all of these ideas we've just talked about, tell us what you've done to try to solve that or make it usable for people?19:38Q7 How do you populate it so that adds value to the environment?22:35Q8 Somebody could ask you a complicated question about your opinion and you could ask ChatGPT, what’s my opinion? 25:23Q9 Could we eventually have personal AI systems that don't merely retrieve but actually extend our thinking into areas we haven't even considered yet?27:02Q10 Let’s say you have synthesized this personal AI and then you’ve passed away. Would you then will that to your family to continue to get your personal insights?29:12Q11 If it’s a corporate environment, do you weigh the value of different people’s opinions over others? Is there a hierarchy of value there?32:28 “The Future of Human Leadership: When Intelligence is Everywhere” By Kevin BenedictLink to Kevin Benedict’s Book: https://a.co/d/0arR0wcD /// Discover more from #FOBtv and connect with Kevin Benedict:Kevin Benedict's Blog: https://mobileenterprisestrategies.blogspot.com/Kevin Benedict on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinbenedict/Kevin Benedict on X: https://x.com/krbenedict///About the Reimagining the Future Series | The Future of BusinessThe Reimagining the Future Series, produced by the Future of Business team, helps our clients and partners see the combinatorial effects of science, technology, digital forces, and societal factors that are rapidly shaping our emerging future.
