Taking a brief detour from my usual “How to execute AI projects in a corporate setting” series to share something a bit different today...

Un placer compartir esta conversación sobre la posibilidad de emoción en IAs con Ángel Rodríguez. Gracias por invitarme a este programa!
¿Pueden las máquinas aprender a sentir emociones? Alberto Hernández nos presenta un innovador marco de autoaprendizaje emocional para la IA. Podcast "Hablando con Científicos. #hablandoconcientificos

"As with computer enthusiasts in 2004, mainstream analysts and journalists are missing the forest for the trees: despite the slowing down of one trend, the industry collectively remains moving forward at a breakneck pace due to other new emerging paradigms that are ripe for scaling and expansion. It is possible to stack “scaling laws” – pre-training will become just one of the vectors of improvement, and the aggregate “scaling law” will continue scaling just like Moore’s Law has over last 50+ years." semianalysis.com/2024/12/11/…
At BBVA, we've launched 35+ GenAI projects & enabled 800+ employee initiatives in 24 months.
GenAI looked simple on paper (no training! no labeling!). Reality? Everything got turned up to eleven 🎸

Extremely true from @tylercowen. Not just for books, but for almost everything. Music, movies, Netflix documentaries, essays, even Twitter threads, codebases and strategy docs, PRDs, the marginal benefit to asking more questions has increased dramatically even as the cost fell.

Hard to find people who simultaneously 'get' language models deeply without getting lost in them, have a good understanding of human behaviours, don't approach every sociopolitical question as binaries, understand systemic dynamics and complexity without robbing individuals of agency, hold opposing ideas in mind while retaining the ability to function, and can both zoom in and out of all the above without overindexing on any particular aspect.

Not groundbreaking insight here but I think the skills that will matter the most in the coming decade is being adaptive, quickly grasping new developments, being highly agentic, being good at specifying intent in detail, and using tools/AI early and well.

Can #AI learn and produce its own emotions, like natural ones? 🤖❤️
Meet LOVE (Latest Observed Values Encoding), a generic self-learning emotional framework for machines.

Two things that both evolution and neural networks share in common is they both thrive on scale, and they were both once dismissed as obsolete to AI. The deep evolution moment is awaiting.
Check out my latest article: How to Talk to the Business: A Brief Guide for Data Scientists and Other Animals
So many AI projects never even get off the ground, not because the tech isn’t there, but because the business and tech teams just aren’t on the same wavelength.
The best Data Science teams know that nailing these conversations can make all the difference. It’s not just about being a technical wizard; it’s about getting people on board and speaking their language.
I pulled together some thoughts (using, as always, obscure movie references because, why not) on how to keep those conversations from derailing. Check it out. It might just help you out in your next meeting!

There are two ways AI impacts organizations:
1) The usual way, which will take a decade to play out as organizations adjust to AI & integrate into systems
2) Via apotheosis, where AGI creates a parallel organizational ecosystem instantly
Most people betting on #1. Labs bet on #2
Oh yeah! 🙂
BBVA ranks among the 15 most advanced banks in AI worldwide bbva.com/en/innovation/bbva-… Congrats to the Data family in all countries and areas @BBVA!!!!
