This The Cipher Brief interview with William Usher discusses the challenges and opportunities presented by new technologies like generative AI. The intelligence community needs to adapt to these changes to stay competitive. As noted by the Special Competitive Studies Project - SCSP, one way to do this is to use open-source intelligence (OSINT) better. A growing amount of data from private companies could be valuable for intelligence purposes. The intelligence community currently struggles to collect and analyze this data. The authors recommend creating a new organization to focus on collecting and integrating commercially available data. The interview is worth reading if you are interested in the future of the intelligence community. #OSINT #PAI #CAI #EmergingTechnologies #GeopoliticalRisk #informationoperations https://lnkd.in/gi8t8SsW

WOW. Absolutely mind-blowing. Please take a moment to read this blog post. I cannot wait to watch as this develops!! Thank you for your work on this, Ralph Losey "The idea here is to create AI sub-personalities – personas – with different knowledge specialities and other differing characteristics (which is where the secret sauce comes in). Then you prompt the different AI entities to chat amongst themselves. They work through the issue, step by step, and consider various points of view. The GPT hive mind of experts discusses subjects and works out problems that you assign to them." -Ralph Losey #AI #EDRM #JDSupra #LegalAI #LegalOps #eDiscovery

It was great to chat with Elias Chavez from Boston Business Journal about M33 Growth's strategy and huge congrats to Will Collins and his team at BFC Software on the acquisition of Somerville-based Herlitz, which specializes in food industry demand forecasting. This acquisition will enable BFC to offer a more comprehensive logistics and tracking product to its food distribution customers and will help them drive efficiency and improve profitability through cutting-edge technology. Here at M33 Growth, we are big believers that strategic acquisitions are a critical vector of growth for smaller software platforms. Our companies operate in tight vertical markets, where customer requirements are very tight and deep domain experience is critical. Often there are a myriad of smaller “point-solutions” that can be acquired and integrated into a core platform like BFC, which is a win-win for our customers, who are able to buy more product from a single vendor and benefit from an integrated offering. We work closely with our companies to execute acquisition strategies that enhance product offering, deepen the customer base and open up new market segments. BFC’s activity over the past year is a classic case study in our approach to driving growth with our teams. The company has doubled its revenue (and headcount) and Will Collins has built a tremendous management team that can drive both organic growth and acquisitions
