1️⃣ Scientists input research questions
2️⃣ AI suggests experimental designs
3️⃣ Analyzes complex data patterns
4️⃣ Proposes new hypotheses
5️⃣ Learns from results
Imagine having a research partner who...
☑️ Spots hidden patterns
☑️ Suggests new ideas
☑️ Reads every paper
☑️ Never sleeps
The possibilities?
✅ New physics
✅ New materials
✅ New cancer cures
✅ New climate solutions

When AI can analyze decades of research in minutes and suggest new experiments, everything changes.
We could compress years of trial and error into days.
Get rid of traffic jams? Yes.
Travel to Mars. Sure why not?
Extend human life indefinitely. Maybe. Just maybe.
Futurists predict that as AI improves we'll see paradigm shifts happen faster and faster.
From every 18 months.
To every 12 months.
To every 6 months.
To every other week.
Are you ready for the change that is coming?
Let's just hope its not like the dystopian sci-fi movies.
Google's AI co-scientist solves decade-long superbug mystery in just 48 hours. The system generated the exact same hypothesis as human scientists about how antibiotic-resistant bacteria spread between species, while suggesting four additional promising research directions.

🎓 AI COURSES OF THE WEEK
I am offering my own course. Why?
Like many of you, AI was new to me and I didn’t know where to start.
Knowing where to start was overwhelming and frustrating.
Since March 2023 I’ve spent 1,000+ hours learning AI.
As a result, I have grown my AI newsletter to 5,000+ readers like you.
So, why should you learn from me?
Aside from literally having been in your shoes.
At work, I was 1 of 250 employees nominated to Ernst & Young’s (EY) US AI Adoption Network.
In Fall 2024, I led an Introduction to Generative AI training to 250+ EY employees and was asked to speak at industry conferences on the topic of Generative AI.
I served as liaison to EY’s Business Consulting, Technology Consulting, and Data & Analytics practices to craft go-to-market strategy and support development of AI service offerings to Fortune 500 companies.
My unique background spans multiple industries such as Banking, Insurance, Consumer Packaged Goods, Transportation, and Supply Chain…
From having been a Senior Manager in Big 4 Consulting, a Senior Consultant in Boutique Consulting, and a Finance Manager in Fortune 500.
Last but not least. I have a passion for coaching and mentoring others. I thrive on it and genuinely want to see people like you be successful using AI at work or for your business (while making learning AI fun).
With that, I invite you to click below and join my waitlist.
I am excited to see you take this first step with me.
🤿 AI DEEP DIVE
Ever wondered how AI chatbots generate realistic conversations?
It all comes down to prediction and training.
🔸 Predicting the Next Word: AI completes sentences by assigning probabilities to possible next words.
🔸 Massive Training Data: Trained on text that would take a human 2,600 years to read.
🔸 Neural Networks & Attention: Transformers analyze context in parallel to refine language understanding.
🔸 Computation at Scale: Training modern LLMs requires trillions of operations, optimized using specialized GPUs.
Watch this video to take a peek inside the black box that are LLMs.
🛠️ AI TOOL OF THE WEEK
