Talks by The Angry Optimist

Mathias Sundin gives two talks, that can be adapted to fit the needs of your event and organization.

🦾 Become a centaur - how to use AI to gain superpowers

A talk on how to understand and leverage the wave of generative AI, like ChatGPT.

They were clearly inferior chess players.
They had a worse chess computer.
Despite this, two amateurs won over grandmasters with better computers.

This happened in a chess tournament in 2005 where the players were allowed to use computers to assist them in playing.

It's called Centaur Chess.

The amateurs won because they were better at using the computer. Better at the process.

A centaur - half human, half horse.

This is how we should think about the new AI tools.

If we become centaurs and team up human+machine, it gives us superpowers. Both as individuals and as organizations.

Using the AI tools in the right way is like installing an update for your brain. A better, faster operating system.
