What if the fastest route to real AI value isn’t training a new model—but learning how to use the ones we already have, better? We sit down with author and professor John K. Thompson to chart a clear path from AI’s roots to practical wins you can ship this quarter, while keeping an honest eye on what stands between today’s LLMs and true AGI. We start with the origin story—from Turing’s early ideas to the Dartmouth workshop—and show why those founding questions still matter. Then we move into...

This one’s part industry pulse check, part real talk. Follow Joe: LinkedInSubstackDiscordWhat's New In Data is a data thought leadership series hosted by Jo...
