My keynote talk about ChatGPT – Hypergrid Business

So, I’m back home — after flying to Lima, Peru for an AI conference last week.

I was there to give a keynote speech about AI. The whole flight over I was worried that Nvidia or OpenAI or someone else would announce news of such major importance that I’d have to scrap my entire presentation and start over — fortunately, while there was, in fact, some news, I didn’t have to do any major revisions. No CEOs were fired. No lawsuits shut down all generative AI training. Whew.

You can’t really see me in the photo above, so here’s a close-up:

For those of you who only know me from Hypergrid Business, I’m actually a tech journalist during the day. I’ve been covering enterprise technology for over twenty years, ran a business news bureau in China for five, and have seen my fair share of major transformations. During the last few years I’ve been focusing on enterprise uses of artificial intelligence and, since late 2022, much of my reporting has focused on generative AI.

You can see all my stories at MariaKorolov.com, but here are some recent highlights:

CIO magazine: 3 areas where gen AI improves productivity — until its limits are exceeded
CIO magazine: For IT leaders, operationalized gen AI is still a moving target
CIO magazine: Weighing risk and reward with gen AI vendor selection
CIO magazine: Upskilling ramps up as gen AI forces enterprises to transform
CIO magazine: 5 ways to deploy your own large language model
CIO magazine: The year’s top 10 enterprise AI trends — so far
CSO magazine: Generative AI poised to make substantial impact on DevSecOps
CSO magazine: How gen AI helps entry-level SOC analysts improve their skills
CSO magazine: Assessing and quantifying AI risk: A challenge for enterprises
CSO magazine: Data loss prevention vendors tackle gen AI data risks

I guess, overall, I must have talked to hundreds of people — corporate executives deploying the technology, analysts, consultants, experts, and, of course, vendors.

Anyway, I distilled everything I learned into a single one-hour presentation, flew down to Peru, and gave the talk. It was awesome. I love being in front of a live audience again after several years, now, of online webinars and virtual conferences.

Then, after I got home, I recorded a version of the same presentation for YouTube. It doesn’t have the call-backs to previous speakers, nor post-speech Q&A that the conference moderator did with me, nor people coming up to me afterwards to ask questions.

But that’s the great thing about an in-person conference — you get to experience all those things.
