🚀 Why Austrian Start-ups Rock #4 🇦🇹💼 Topic: Leading AI with Innovation and Ethics In this fourth instalment of our series exploring Austrian innovation, we shine a light on Magic. Founders Eric Steinberger and Sebastian De Ro are both originally from Vienna and started their journey at the technical high school HTL Spengergasse but their start-up Magic is incorporated and headquartered in the US. They have leveraged their academic beginnings to push boundaries in AI capabilities, notably with 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐋𝐓𝐌-1 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥. This model is an innovation setting new benchmarks in AI's ability to understand and process information. A big race is taking place in Silicon Valley given how OpenAI is dominating the market with ChatGPT and how answers are being searched to break this up. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐈 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥'𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐧, 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐢𝐧𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐋𝐌 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐰, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐈 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐬.  Magic's AI model, named "LTM-1", with five million tokens, surpasses leading AI models from OpenAI (GPT-4 Turbo with 128,000 tokens) and Google (Gemini 1.5 Pro with one million tokens). The rapid development of AI models continues, and keeping up requires a lot of money, which Magic has received from its investors. 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 145 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭. What sets 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 apart is their vision for 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 (𝐀𝐆𝐈) that can potentially perform any intellectual task that a human can while placing an emphasis on ethical considerations in AI development. They envision a future where AI supports enhanced decision-making and efficiency in workplaces and are 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫. "Our goal is to gradually bring improved AI assistants to market while continuing to work on what will ultimately become AGI." 𝐈𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜'𝐬 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐈 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐝, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞. Personally I have great admiration for the vision Eric and Sebastian follow putting a particular 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲! I would like to thank TrendingTopics.eu who inspired this post with an article they published. How do you see ethical considerations shaping the future of AI technology? #AustrianStartups #AI #Innovation #SustainableTech #FutureOfWork #TechForGood #FutureOfWork #DisruptiveTechnology #EthicsInTech #ThinkEthicalAI! © 📷 Magic

Why why why why why? The potential of #ai models such as #gpt is limitless. With a little imagination,🌈 the wildest technological solutions can be spun together. But technology alone does not answer the question of why. Why do we develop what we develop? What is the real added value for our #users and what use case does the technology offer for our software? To find answers to these questions, we are now offering a #ai #workshop on this topic with HelloDesign. This workshop is aimed at those who want to answer the why before the what and who wish to think about how #artificial #intelligence smartly integrated into their software can create real added value. For more information send me a DM. 💌 https://lnkd.in/e7qpCMtq

🌍 Clovr Labs takes Berlin! 🌟 Last month, the Clovr Labs team gathered from all corners of the world to spend a few productive, fun-filled days working side by side. The destination was vibrant Berlin! We came together in an open space, where we shared ideas, collaborated on ongoing projects, and strengthened bonds across departments. One of the highlights was introducing Stuart AI, a project our technical team had been working on for a month. They shared their findings with the rest of us before diving into testing the product. A perfect example of how innovation comes to life at Clovr Labs 🚀 The Berlin days were the perfect mix of productivity and human connection—reminding us of how valuable these moments are in our remote-first world. We worked hard—and played hard too! 🕺 Next, we’re taking our office days to beautiful Barcelona! We can’t wait to keep the momentum going ✨ #WorkCulture #TeamClovr #RemoteWork #OfficeDays #Innovation #BlockchainCommunity

An interesting experience on day 01 of my lecture yesterday when we were co-learning content design (which means content plus design plus UX plus interaction design plus product positioning plus marketing) in the Content Strategy FH JOANNEUM Graz masters program. I shared a sign up form as an example of good content design practices and I asked the class participants—"Do you think that this kind of well designed form helps the Design team more, or if it helps the Marketing team more?" A brief silence and then a couple of voices said—"Marketing". Our industry and the way orgs design the teams and their jobs are responsible for making people believe that more sign ups help marketing or sales' goals. If a conversion is a success on any parameter, why it is not counted as a design success? We had a discussion and this is the foundation of content design—what does success look like. (I am not saying it because the form was well-designed—we need to see our success beyond the teams and functions. A conversion means enabling every individual's role, position, and success in the org but we do not talk about it enough.)
