The A.I. and Machine Learning Landscape, with investor George Mathew

Added on May 16, 2023 by Jon Krohn.

Today, razor-sharp investor George Mathew (of Insight Partners, which has a whopping $100-billion AUM 😮) brings us up to speed on the Machine Learning landscape, with a particular focus on Generative A.I. trends.

George:
• Is a Managing Director at Insight Partners, an enormous New York-based venture capital and growth equity firm ($100B in assets under management) that has invested in the likes of Twitter, Shopify, and Monday.com.
• Specializes in investing in A.I., ML and data "scale-ups" such as the enterprise database company Databricks, the fast-growing generative A.I. company Jasper, and the popular MLOps platform Weights & Biases.
• Prior to becoming an investor, was a deep operator at fast-growing companies such as Salesforce, SAP, the analytics automation platform Alteryx (where he was President & COO) and the drone-based aerial intelligence platform Kespry (where he was CEO & Chairman).

Today’s episode will appeal to technical and non-technical listeners alike — anyone who’d like to be brought up to speed on the current state of the data and machine learning landscape by a razor-sharp expert on the topic.

In this episode, George details:
• How sensational generative A.I. models like GPT-4 are bringing about a deluge of opportunity for domain-specific tools and platforms.
• The four layers of the "Generative A.I. Stack" that supports this enormous deluge of new applications.
• How RLHF — reinforcement learning from human feedback — provides an opportunity for you to build your own powerful and defensible models with your proprietary data.
• The new LLMOps field that has emerged to support the suddenly ubiquitous LLMs (Large Language Models), including generative models.
• How investment criteria differ depending on whether the prospective investment is seed stage, venture-capital stage, or growth stage.
• The flywheel that enables the best software companies to scale extremely rapidly.
