.Debasis Dutta said in order for AI to drive productivity gains across your org, you need to understand what your workforce needs to know, feel, and do in order to engage them in a holistic upskilling approach. #vbtransform

.Olivier Godement, head of product API at OpenAI, said an Enterprise customer built a vaccine dose calculator using custom GPT without any help from OpenAI. #vbtransform

.Olivier Godement asks enterprise buyers: do you trust OpenAI to be consistent in the coming years? If so, pick us. It doesn’t make sense to keep swapping models when a company like Anthropic or Google comes out with a new model that challenges OpenAI. #vbtransform

.anthony suarez & Alice Chang share how Pinterest went from prompt to productivity as quickly as possible. Formed a x-functional working group to understand opportunities & risks for genAI. #vbtransform

.anthony suarez said Pinterest started w/ a multimodal, multivendor model. To ensure employees would use only approved GenAI use cases, Pinterest centralized access, logging & egress. Inspected prompt responses. Understood, optimized & forecasted costs. Gave training. #vbtransform

.anthony suarez said Pinterest used model provisioning automation to accelerate experiments & learning. Went from taking weeks to turning on a new model to turning it on in minutes. #vbtransform

.anthony suarez said Pinterest built a small set of tools to automate prompt workflow, evaluate prompts, share prompts with colleagues. For general employee productivity we delivered a chat experience & built tools into internal comms tools to get first-pass customer support Q&A.

.anthony suarez STEAM = simple (every employee can use GenAI), tailored, extensible (anyone can build on shared platform & tools), accountable (designed to be safe & cost effective), measurable (can measure real impact on employee productivity or delivering better user experiences)

Alice said Pinterest uses GenAI to solve the user problem of “I don’t know the right words to describe my style.” Took articulates the tastes of visuals pinned to user’s board, like “zen industrialist.” Went from prompt to product in 2 weeks

Alice said Pinterest extracts from a user’s board visuals the words for the prompt input. Team pivoted and refined prototype a dozen times over two weeks. GenAI turbocharged our product ideas & ideation process. #vbtransform

Alice said this became one of Pinterest’s most successful push notifications ever. #vbtransform

Alice announced Pinterest Canvas. #vbtransform

Last nite I took my 1st ride in a self-driving car — Waymo One — & loved it! My 33-min ride from across hilly San Francisco was swift, safe, comfortable, pleasant & personalized. Price was competitive w/ Lyft. Can’t wait for Waymo to offer rides in Silicon Valley! #earlyadopter

This demo by Allie K. Miller and Reid Hoffman is entertainingly compelling! It’s useful for everyone to watch to understand how you can use GenAI as a thinking partner & how it may fall short — so, as w/ people, you’ll benefit from gathering diverse perspectives even from AI agents

🚀My #FutureOfWork insights from #VBTransform: As an #HRLeader, I loved hearing CTOs, CIOs, VPs of AI & AI startup CEOs connect their quests to scale implementation of #GenAI w/ their needs to upskill employees. And I loved hosting an AI in #EdTech meetup linkedin.com/pulse/my-futur…
