From Masterclass to Perplexity


Dear Reader,

I'm thrilled to reconnect with you, not just as a voice in the AI space, but as an active architect of AI education, my response to the whirlwind and excitement about advancements towards AGI.

While I may have seemed quiet, behind the scenes, I've been fervently crafting a series of AI Masterclasses designed to empower you with the knowledge to harness AI in your field.

Reflecting the essence of AI's capability to deliver personalized customer services, products, and education, I offer the Tailor-Made Masterclasses.

These sessions are the epitome of customization, designed to meet the unique challenges and opportunities you, your team or your company face in the AI landscape.

It's a testament to the belief that the most impactful learning experiences are those crafted with the individual's goals, passions, and needs at the forefront.

A path of inspiration

While this newsletter thus far might echo an unusual commercial endeavor, my true intention is to light a path of inspiration for us all. It's about more than just the offerings; it's about the exploration, the discovery, and the shared adventure in the vast realm of AI.

With this spirit at heart, I want to pivot to a discovery that has genuinely inspired me and, I believe, has the potential to inspire you too.

Discovering Perplexity AI

Let me introduce (or perhaps re-introduce) you to Perplexity AI.

My initial encounter with Perplexity was one of curiosity, but it wasn't until a recent project—a deep dive into crafting an Ethical Charter for an important client—that I truly grasped its value. This rediscovery of Perplexity AI wasn't just enlightening; it was transformative, compelling me to integrate it into my daily toolkit as one of my indispensable resources.

I've detailed this journey and my insights into Perplexity AI in a new blog post. It's a reflection not just on a tool, but on the broader implications of ethical AI and how tools like Perplexity can guide us towards more informed, ethical, and impactful use of technology. I invite you to explore this further with me on my blog. Let's embark on this exploration together, with open minds and a shared commitment to leveraging AI for the greater good.

This text, too, has been refined through the lens of Perplexity, not so much as a final writer but as a validator of its substance. While I remain an ardent fan of ChatGPT 4 and the recent advancements of Claude to Claude 3, it's important to note that all my writings are a co-creation with our AI companions. Yet, they steadfastly remain an expression of my personal convictions—as personal as convictions can be.

Much more to come

As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of AI, the competition among the giants—Claude 3, Gemini 1.5, Copilot, Mistral Large, and so many more including the eagerly anticipated Llama3 and ChatGPT-5—continues to accelerate, promising breakthroughs that will redefine our interaction with technology.

But it's not just about the tech; it's about understanding the broader implications of these advancements.

In upcoming discussions, we'll delve into the rapidly changing realm of image and video AI. The ability to generate convincing media content in seconds challenges our very notion of evidence, requiring a reevaluation of legal standards and ethical considerations in a digitally augmented world.

Moreover, the conversation around ethics in AI is reaching a critical juncture. With Europe setting its regulatory stance, businesses are navigating a complex landscape, balancing innovation with ethical integrity.

We'll explore this delicate balance, offering insights into how European entities can thrive without compromising on values, even as they engage with global partners who may hold differing ethical views.

Stay tuned for these topics and more, as I share practical experiences from my Masterclasses and the journeys of the clients I have the privilege to guide through the transformative world of AI. Together, we'll uncover the opportunities and navigate the challenges that lie ahead in this exciting journey.

Your Custom-Designed Masterclass

If today's exploration has sparked a flame of curiosity within you, or if you, your teams, friends, or colleagues seek a deeper understanding of AI, I'm here to illuminate that path. Interested in my masterclasses or booking me as a speaker? Let's make it happen.

Until we meet again, may we continue to co-create, learn, and grow in this fascinating world of AI.

Yours in AI

Luc
