Yale Club of DC AI Masterclass Series | Working with AI as an Individual and a Business: The New Rules of Advantage
The Yale Club of Washington, DC welcomes alumni to an AI Masterclass Series featuring Aditya Nair, a Yale alum and a global expert on applied AI in regulated industries.
Aditya runs an AI engineering firm, which builds production AI systems for enterprise clients, and is a fractional leader to professional services firms rebuilding their operating model for the AI era. He’s built AI strategy and systems for Fortune 500 companies, sovereign wealth funds, government agencies and AI-native startups.
AI is a full systems problem. Trying to tackle it in parts is the mistake that hampers its effectiveness. Aditya works with boards and executives on where AI moves the shape of a firm, builds the production systems that carry the change through, and designs curriculum to raise the skill of the people who must work with these systems.
The organizations that get AI right treat it as infrastructure for how the work gets done. The ones that struggle treat it as a productivity tool bolted onto existing roles.
This Masterclass is a two-part series. In part one, we focus on making you an AI-native operator. In part two, we turn your firm into an AI-native entity.
AI Masterclass 2: THE NEW RULES OF ADVANTAGE
Knowledge work rewarded planning because mistakes were expensive. You thought hard before you built, because building the wrong thing cost you a couple of quarters and a lot of your allocated budget, so the efficient move was to argue it out on paper first. That has inverted.
The startup version of the story is well covered. AI-native startups now reach $100 Mn in ARR fast than ever before and with fewer employees. The harder question is what it does to a company with 4,000 people, a five-year plan, and a tried and tested business model do? The short answer that firms haven't as yet intuited is that the cost structure has changed.
Where you point your best people changes, because pushing the frontiers of innovation may be more valuable than enabling the core of the business. What investment bets do you make changes, because you can afford to be wrong more often. And the market you walked away from years ago, the one that wanted what you sell and couldn't pay what you charge, maybe worth repricing. In this webinar, we look at reimagining the operations of a firm from the lens of abundant intelligence.
