Exploring the AI Revolution: The Right Time, The Right Place

Welcome to today's AI conference, where we're exploring the intersection of technology, innovation, and human potential!

1. The speaker is using magic Trackpad and going to experiment with multiple dimensions in their presentation.
2. They believe there is value in thinking about higher orders of magnitude and raising ambitions.
3. AI-generated art will be featured, as it's an AI conference.
4. Congratulations are given for attending the conference, both physically and in terms of timing.
5. The speaker references significant moments in history for various fields, such as mathematics, physics, and technology, implying that now is a similar moment for AI.
6. We're approximately 10 years into the AI Revolution, with AlexNet (2012) marking a major inflection point.
7. The speaker references a famous investor who projects a six-fold increase in computational power by the end of the decade.
8. There is an expected growth in the number of AI engineers compared to machine learning engineers due to various reasons mentioned in a blog post.
9. AI models like GPT-3 and GPT-4 have shown significant advancements, with GPT-10 potentially requiring more compute than all human computation ever.
10. The speaker introduces three types of AI engineer roles: AI enhanced engineers, product engineers, and agent engineers.
11. The talk is inspired by Amjad's recent talk on the 10x engineer and Sam Altman's vision of "10x Engineers in OpenAI every day."
