In this episode of the Entropy podcast, host Francis Gorman engages with Jonathan Aberman, CEO and co-founder of Hupside, to explore the concept of 'original intelligence' in the context of artificial intelligence (AI). Jonathan shares his extensive background in venture capitalism and education, emphasizing the need for a new framework that values human originality amidst the rise of generative AI. He discusses how AI, while efficient, often leads to homogenization in business practices, making differentiation crucial for companies to thrive.
