\u201cSome are hiring talent to jump headfirst, others are happy to back the \u2018ChatGPT for X\u2019 spin-outs, and many are sitting in awe, watching their existing investments spark an AI debate of their own, no due diligence needed,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

The volume of data required to train AI models comes with a cost: You\u2019ll need deep pockets to acquire powerful GPUs and the scientists and engineers who\u2019ll manage the work, not to mention the matter of power consumption and related carbon emissions.<\/p>\n
Given the tremendous barrier to entry, is it worth considering whether open source foundation models could level the playing field and also address concerns about privacy and bias?<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve now entered a critical phase of AI where who gets to build and serve these powerful models has become an important discussion point, particularly as ethical issues begin to swirl,\u201d writes Jae Lee, CEO and co-founder of Twelve Labs.<\/p>\n

A merger or acquisition is the start of a new relationship, which is why most people approach exits with optimism.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut all\u2019s not rosy in the world of M&A,\u201d writes SmartBear CEO Frank Roe, who has completed eight acquisitions in less than five years.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a complex and substantially risky decision, not for the faint-hearted. It is essential to approach the decision and process with diligence and forethought.\u201d<\/p>\n
In this TC+ guest post, he shares \u201cfive indispensable elements to consider for a successful mergers and acquisitions journey,\u201d reminding readers that \u201cthere\u2019s no \u2018secret formula.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Cybersecurity product managers usually measure conversion rates, detection accuracy and usage\/engagement to gain customer insights, but these metrics \u201cmay not be what they seem,\u201d writes Ross Haleliuk, an investor who\u2019s also head of product at LimaCharlie.io.<\/p>\n
\u201cContext matters a lot, and the realities of different organizations, geographies, cultures and market segments heavily influence what can be measured and what actions can be taken based on these observations.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
