Innovating in an AI World

"The tools themselves are rapidly increasing their effectiveness. So almost every second week, Claude or ChatGPT or Gemini is releasing a new version that is smarter and better and cheaper. What that means for us is that you're able to really do a lot more than you could ever imagine, and that the human brain is not changing at the same pace at which these tools are. The same person has become so much more productive, but your brain is getting overloaded. You have to figure out how to maintain your energy while knowing that these tools are going to keep improving." Tara Chklovski, founder and CEO of Technovation
