My sons learned a lesson yesterday. The lesson was: No free lunch (𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘸) Here's the story: I'm very proud of my tween sons. They were asking me to buy them some toys that I thought were unnecessary and expensive. My wife and I decided to use this as a learning opportunity for our boys. I told them I would pay half the price, but they would need to earn the rest. So they decided to work for it! On 11th July, with temperatures reaching up to 40°C (104°F), we set up a lemonade stand close to our house 🍋 🍋 Instead of just having people come to them, I showed them how to approach people, and offer the lemonade to everyone who passed by the stand. We sold out within an hour! Several people came back for seconds, and one guy (our neighbor) gave them a big tip. They felt good with some money pouring into their pockets. Some lemonades were given away for free to those who were on the street but had no cash. Giving is very important, and I'm proud of how my kids managed to complete this task, to make money and to give at the same time. 🔊 Financial literacy isn't just for adults. Teach your kids, your relatives, and people around you what's right. It pays big dividends later 📈 Do you have similar examples to share? I'd love to hear your story or stories you've been told.

There are 4 points to consider for AI transparency and trust in data In the rapidly evolving world of Fintech, AI is revolutionizing how banks handle transactions, manage risk, and provide personalized services. However, the effectiveness and trustworthiness of AI are only as good as the data it is trained on. Here are 4 key points to consider for ensuring AI transparency: 1. 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: Implement rigorous data validation and cleansing processes to ensure that the AI is trained on accurate, comprehensive, and unbiased datasets. 2. 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐀𝐈: Develop AI models that provide clear, understandable explanations for their decisions and actions, making it easier for stakeholders to trust and verify the outcomes. 3. 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠: Ensure that data is sourced ethically, respecting privacy and consent, to build trust and maintain compliance with regulations. 4. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: Regularly monitor and audit AI systems to detect and address any biases or inaccuracies, ensuring ongoing reliability. By focusing on these aspects, we can build AI systems in Fintech that are not only innovative but also trustworthy.

Why AI Governance? Because AI can fail without this piece of the Compliance Puzzle. There are massive benefits of AI, but businesses need to navigate risks in order to harness AI's full potential. As Kay Firth-Butterfield, CEO of Good Tech Advisory and the world's foremost AI ethicist, said in our recent webinar on AI Compliance: “When we're thinking about governance we really need to think about multi-party access and an independent certification.” These capabilities create the transparency required to establish trust in AI training and usage, she said. To enable organizations to create truly trustworthy AI, Casper Labs recently introduced #ProveAI tool - a new standard in AI governance 💡 Prove AI enhances transparency, access, and auditability for AI datasets, from training and fine-tuning data to inputs and outputs. By creating a tamper-proof record of AI data on the Casper blockchain, Prove AI can augment AI governance frameworks.

The best advice parents can give to their kids 👇 Here me out loud and clear: If your kids' school has just ended, that's great. Summer break can be fun for children. They should enjoy themselves, spend time with friends & party. When we were their age, we did the same. But summer break can be boring if all they do is scroll through their phone screens, spending too much time on TikTok or Instagram. Big waste of time, right!? Here is what you should advise them to do: - Guide them to invest 50 hours in learning about AI - There are 25 weeks left in 2024 - Spend 2 hours each week - That's it! If they become: - Curious about AI's potential - Understanding how AI will transform today's work - Aware of how AI will change whatever they learn in school Then, you've done your job as a parent. Do you agree with this advise? PS. The best advice I've heard in years came from my colleague, who advised his daughter on how to spend the rest of 2024.

Excited to be heading to Zurich, Switzerland this week for Data & AI Leadership Day 2024, where I'll be meeting customers and design partners to discuss the exciting use cases of #ProveAI - our new standard in AI governance. At Casper Labs, we're co-developing a tamper-proof AI governance solution with IBM - called Prove AI - to enable transparency and trust in AI systems. If you’re around and curious about making your business AI-ready, let’s connect! I’d love to discuss how you can deploy AI in a responsible way.

#AISummitLondon 2024 is over 🇬🇧, and I'm feeling more inspired than ever to help customers increase transparency and control in their AI systems. As we harness AI's potential and push the boundaries of AI capabilities at an unprecedented speed, the need to take on risk with confidence is greater than ever before. Risk is everybody's business, and a key takeaway from almost every session is that the time for ethical considerations, safety, and responsible AI is NOW. The sessions on Responsible AI were particularly insightful. Our COO, Ross MacKay spoke on creating AI-enabled change ethically, responsibly and through governance while maintaining full compliance with upcoming AI regulations. AI Summit in London is an amazing event - arguably the best one outside of the US. I'm excited to apply these learnings and drive impactful, responsible AI in the future. Interested in learning about Prove AI - Casper Labs' new standard for AI governance that we've been co-developing with IBM? I'd be happy to talk to you.

So happy to be a part of the 1st London SDR Leaders of EMEA meet up 🇬🇧 Finally, I got to meet peers and SDR leaders IRL that I've only known online for many years now. Sharing ideas and best practices with all of them, and networking was awesome. Jason Dorfman, CEO of Orum, was also with us, sharing his insights into what's coming next in the pipeline generation space 🚀 Thanks to David Wilkins for starting a community of Sales Development leaders in EMEA to network and learn from one another. Cheers guys 🍻
