Not all AI is created equal—it’s about thoughtful use, not just hype❌ Startups today are increasingly adding AI features, sometimes simply to attract funding. At Metricoid, we’ve worked extensively with AI and know firsthand its true potential. When implemented thoughtfully, AI is incredible. But if it’s not adding real value, it can become an expensive novelty. We’ve seen cases where AI has caused unintended issues, which is why thoughtful integration is key. AI should be about solving real problems, not just boosting a pitch deck. What do you think? Are startups using AI the right way, or are we chasing the hype too much?

What a one-year personal and company AI journey looks like. For the latest Pioneer AI newsletter, we sat down with Maria Ramsø Motzfeldt to talk about her and Danish pension company Velliv's AI journey over the course of 2024. It is a journey that many companies and professionals may recognise, starting with relatively limited AI knowledge, to developing and deploying an AI strategy and seeing positive results. In our conversation, Maria explained how she and Velliv have ensured buy-in for AI and talked about current and coming uses of AI, touching on internal education, pilot projects, and how to create a clear strategy, amongst other things. Maria also shared insights into what #AI #startups can offer companies like Velliv, and what qualities companies in tightly regulated spaces are looking for when assessing AI startups. For anyone curious about how businesses can successfully integrate AI—and what startups can do to stand out—this article offers practical lessons from the front lines.

This week I attended two interesting meetings focused on the startup ecosystem and, of course, AI was mentioned a time or two. Here are my thoughts. The University of Luxembourg incubator did a pitch practice at First Flight Venture Center. The startups spanned categories from music to genomics and most highlighted their use of AI. Earlier in the week, in an interesting point-counterpoint discussion between an investor and a founder, organized by Founder Institute, the investor said that he is not interesting in investing in any AI startups because the field is too crowded. My takeaways: > AI for the sake of AI is no longer interesting. > AI is a tool -- a very powerful tool -- but it is becoming table stakes. It is what you do with AI that is important. > If everyone is using the same tool, how you use AI and what data is used to train it makes the real difference. Important for a startup or challenger brand seeking to stand out. And lastly, this week, Tim McCracken posted a video that he made from a 1940s photo of his grandparents. To again see your grandparents walking arm-in-arm along a beach - now that's a great use of AI that really tugs at the heartstrings. https://lnkd.in/eHJ5ThHr
