About this episode

Len Ward, founder and CEO of Comexys on the shift from search-and-retrieve to solve-my-problem Large Language Models. The former stockbroker at Morgan Stanley and VP of Institutional Equity Sales and Trading at Credit Suisse has developed a strong ability to anticipate market trends over his career, and predicts a large rise in the number of entrepreneurs leveraging AI to build businesses. The future, he says, will combine AI and blockchain due to its potential in verifying collectibles' provenance and reducing fraud. And, he argues, business will recognise the role of Gen X in AI implementation because of their crystalised intelligence and industry experience. AI, he says, will be a rough ride for the next few years, but urges us to hold tight; its significant promise, particularly in medicine, is already beginning to change the world.
