Are you asking #AI for #business strategy? 👉 When researchers asked the major AI LLMs for strategy for different businesses, the AI models gave essentially the same advice - no matter the sector nor size. @harvard.edu #agi #anthropic #openai #google #meta #xai #chatgpt #claude #llm #tech #science

The negative impact of AI on the environment is real and measurable. When deploying AI, think of its net impact: benefit > harm. Also, not every part of your business needs an AI strategy. @harvard.edu #business #ai #llm #anthropic #openai #google #meta #xai www.library.hbs.edu/working-know...

Everyone’s throwing the phrase, “AI bubble” around. But what is a bubble in tech? Acc. to Andy Wu, Harvard assoc prof, it is “when everyone can see the value creation, but no one is thinking about the value capture.” #business #chatgpt #openai #google #meta #palantir #xai #grok #deepseek 📸: Harro
