How to ACTUALLY Win in AI - the Wooden Roller Coaster Strategy

Ever wonder what it's REALLY like inside the world of tech startups? Join Daniel Davis and Brennan Woodruff, the COO of GoCharlie (a generative AI startup), for a brutally honest conversation about the realities of creating an AI startup versus the usual Silicon Valley tech hype. Brennan shares his unique journey from KPMG to Uber, then to SoftBank's Vision Fund, and finally into the world of generative AI. They dive deep into the harsh realities of the tech industry, the surprising camaraderie between Uber and Lyft employees, and the overwhelming competition and noise within the AI space. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in tech, startups, AI, or just a behind-the-scenes look at Silicon Valley thinking and what it takes to build a company in today's world. 🔗 Brennan's Links: ➡️ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brennan-m-woodruff? ➡️ X: https://x.com/BrennanWoodruff 🔗 GoCharlie Links: ➡️ Website: https://gocharlie.ai/ 🔗 TrustGraph Links: ➡️ GitHub: https://github.com/trustgraph-ai/trustgraph ➡️ TrustGraph Config UI: https://config-ui.demo.trustgraph.ai/ ➡️ Website: https://trustgraph.ai/ ➡️ Discord: https://discord.gg/sQMwkRz5GX ➡️ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/trustgraph.bsky.social ➡️ Blog: https://blog.trustgraph.ai ➡️ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/trustgraph/

Knowledge Graph Apalooza!

The Co-founder and CTO of Memgraph, Marko Budiselić, joins us to talk all things knowledge graphs, evaluation metrics for AI, and whether or not AI can be considered AGI if it's not a cyber-physical system.

The 2024 State of AI Regulations

Taking a break from data engineering and RAG, Daniel spoke with Rick Borden, an attorney from Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz, on the state of AI regulations in 2024. Is it really the wild west in enterprise contracts around AI now? How do AI innovators navigate through these chaotic times? Which sci-fi book most accurately described the current state of AI? And will quantum computers make everything we just said irrelevant? 🔗 Rick's Links: ➡️ Rick Borden — Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz: https://fkks.com/attorneys/richard-borden ➡️ Face Value: AI and Facial Recognition Technology Claims Draw FTC Scrutiny by Andrew Folks: https://technologylaw.fkks.com/post/102jqln/face-value-ai-and-facial-recognition-technology-claims-draw-ftc-scrutiny ➡️ FTC Announces AI Sweep by Hannah Taylor: https://technologylaw.fkks.com/post/102jknz/ftc-announces-ai-sweep ➡️ SEC Receives Major Blow in SolarWinds Case by Rick Borden: https://technologylaw.fkks.com/post/102je3h/sec-receives-major-blow-in-solarwinds-case 🔗 TrustGraph Links: ➡️ GitHub: https://github.com/trustgraph-ai/trustgraph ➡️ TrustGraph Config UI: https://config-ui.demo.trustgraph.ai/ ➡️ Documentation: https://trustgraph.ai/ ➡️ Discord: https://discord.gg/sQMwkRz5GX ➡️ Blog: https://blog.trustgraph.ai ➡️ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/trustgraph/

The Future of Agentic Systems

The founders of TrustGraph, Daniel Davis and Mark Adams, discuss their journeys with big data, knowledge graphs, and data engineering. Knowledge graphs are hard to learn - no matter what Mark says, and he gives everyone a crash course on them, why querying graphs is tricky, and what makes for reliable data services. The conversation ends with a discussion of what makes for "explainable AI" and the future of AI security. Topics: 0:00:00 Introductions 0:03:25 Mark's background 0:06:23 Are Knowledge Graph's more popular in Europe? 0:08:27 Past data engineering lessons learned 0:17:15 Knowledge Graphs aren't new 0:22:42 Knowledge Graph types and do they matter? 0:27:10 The case for and against Knowledge Graph ontologies 0:39:40 The basics of Knowledge Graph queries 0:45:42 Knowledge about Knowledge Graphs is tribal 0:47:50 Why are Knowledge Graphs all of a sudden relevant with AI? 0:53:45 Some LLMs understand Knowledge Graphs better than others 0:58:30 What is scalable and reliable infrastructure? 1:01:45 What does "production grade" mean? 1:04:45 What is Pub/Sub? 1:09:40 Agentic architectures 1:12:17 Autonomous system operation and reliability 1:16:50 Simplifying complexity 1:19:48 A new paradigm for system control flow 1:23:45 Agentic systems are "black boxes" to the user 1:24:55 Explainability in agentic systems 1:30:05 The human relationship with agentic systems 1:32:00 What does cybersecurity look like for an agentic system? 1:35:30 Prompt injection is the new SQL injection 1:37:00 Explainability and cybersecurity detection 1:39:40 Systems engineering for agentic architectures is just beginning 🔗 TrustGraph Links: ➡️ GitHub: https://github.com/trustgraph-ai/trustgraph ➡️ TrustGraph Config UI: https://config-ui.demo.trustgraph.ai/ ➡️ Website: https://trustgraph.ai/ ➡️ Discord: https://discord.gg/sQMwkRz5GX ➡️ Blog: https://blog.trustgraph.ai ➡️ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/trustgraph/
