Pride AI & Business Solutions

🚀"𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀" ​A close senior friend recently asked me about my 𝗔𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 - and was surprised to learn that for the past several months, I have been investing nearly 80 hours a week- deep diving into the field on top of my prior experience in finance, tech and institutional innovation. ​My evolving philosophy? 👉"𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀." ​For me, that means: 🔹 Going deep into 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 - the 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗜 & 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 - to build depth and mastery. 🔹 While simultaneously tracking the 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗜 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲  and its global shifts - OpenAI, Copilot and beyond.
