FE News on location.. this week EdTechX... and have you heard about Organoid Intelligence (OI)?
This week we were on location at EdTechX Europe... a very cool conference with really cool insights. Something that really stood out for me and caught my attention was the disruption, but increase in productivity and creativity when there is the disruptive transfer of AI to OI.
Ever heard of OI (Organoid Intelligence)? I hadn't either!... so don't worry, we have videos and more content on their way to explain more! Benjamin Vedrenne-Cloquet said:
"2013-2023: a decade of 'warm up' for EdTech and The Future of Work. Now starts a new disruption cycle: AI will soon be replaced by OI (Organoid Intelligence). Let's get ready for a wonderful explosion in productivity and Human Creativity". Hold your hats people, it's about to get exciting! If you thought ChatGPT was the height of innovation, things are just warming up with OI . More on this over the next two weeks!
