Benedict Evans
In 2011, Marc Andreesen, the co-founder of Netscape (the first commercially successful web browser) commented that “Software is eating the world.” Mr. Andreesen subsequently has become a successful venture capitalist as co-founder of VC firm Andreesen-Horowitz. One of his partners, Benedict Evans has become a well-known technology commentator and recently shared a presentation in which he builds on Mr. Andreesen’s comment for the title of his talk.
If you want a 50,000 foot C-Level, non-technical presentation on how far AI has come in the past two years…and how it will manifest in our future, check out Mr. Evans’ fast paced presentation “AI Eats the World”. (You’ll see the deck first, scroll down to the first video….or watch just the video and deck on YouTube. )
An insightful observation from the talk: “AI is whatever doesn’t work yet. When it works, it’s just software”
Note: For a deeper dive, Mr. Evans presented this at the recent, content rich, Slush Conference for “the single most relevant crowd in the global startup system.” If you’re building a technology company, the presentations looks very interesting.
