AI + Humans is going to result in Human Squared, but the problem is that most people don’t know how to consume this new technology.
When mobile happened, when PC happened, when the internet happened, everyone had to go invest in the boring layers of the technology stack so that humans could take advantage of these new opportunities. But fundamentally, everything starts from the infrastructure layer. You need chips, CPUs, GPUs, AI, processors, storage, networking, optics, power, cooling and more in order to build an AI computer or an AI server.
Then, once you do that, you need models – and their trust, safety, performance and monitoring is all very important. If something goes wrong they can hallucinate – impacting the layers above them.
Next, you have to bring your own data, alongside public data – models need all kinds of data! And you need middleware in order to put it all into production.
So infrastructure, models, data and middleware are the piece that we here at Mayfield are referring to as the plumbing layer. They are what’s going to help us get from Human to Human Squared.
