Five Things AI: Escaping Human Control, WPP Media Open Intelligence, Big Tech's Endgame, AGI, Skeptics

Good to have you back! Read this now!

Heya and welcome back to Five Things AI!

I spent the last day and a half in Bielefeld to attend the Hinterland of Things Conference. It was a really great event where I met lots of people from the German startup ecosystem. I held a masterclass format for my client Masumi to present their Agentic AI infrastructure and to talk about possible partnerships. This was the third conference I went to in Germany in the last three months and it’s amazing how the understanding of AI, and Agentic AI especially, has changed in this short time span. Agentic AI is certainly the big topic now when talking to startups and corporates alike.

I picked out five articles on AI for you and I want you to pay attention to all of them, for sure. But if you can only read one article, then read the one about WPP and their latest AI efforts, which will have a huge impact on how brands will reach their customers in the future. No wonder the advertising agency giant calls this its “Manhattan Project”.

Enjoy!
