How can you improve AI generated images?
Be sure to include diverse data! I remember when I was trying some of the Generative AI photo tools, the images were always sexualized for women vs. men (largely because of the data being fed into the model). It's important to use diverse data that's representative of the world around us.

How can AI best communicate with humans?
Smarter Child was one of the first instances I think my generation (older Gen Z / younger millennials) remember using any type of Chatbot in social situations. With AI communication, we're seeing something very similar with ChatGPT - except WAY more powerful. I think AI should be direct and to the point based on what you're asking (and why prompt training is so important), but also conversational. I'm excited to see GPT builders creating vertical apps that are hyper specific to certain use cases, adjusting tone of voice, context, etc.

How can I learn about AI so I can grow professionally?
I've started using it as a way to check my work to make it easier to embed into my workflows - way easier to learn as you start using it!!! For example, was using Facebook Ads Manager the other day to run a campaign for a Shake Shack x Trolls collaboration (an exercise in one of my classes at Oxford), coming up with the various audience segments to target. I tried it on my own, then used ChatGPT to "check my work" and learn what the gaps were in my own expertise/knowledge. You can read about how to use AI, but using it and finding ways to build it into your routine is a whole new thing! If you're looking for tools/tips, I recommend The Rundown newsletter :)

Activities and Societies: Impact Lab (Michaelmas Term)
I plan to build a thesis around helping the next generation build wealth through investing, focusing on 3 key areas:
1. Create solutions to some of the inverse incentive structures that exist in VC today, making the asset class more open to newcomers AND rethinking the economics
2. Empower young investors with the ability to fund ideas they’re passionate about, (regardless of their background, net worth, or access to capital) and a community founders can leverage while…I plan to build a thesis around helping the next generation build wealth through investing, focusing on 3 key areas:

2. Empower young investors with the ability to fund ideas they’re passionate about, (regardless of their background, net worth, or access to capital) and a community founders can leverage while scaling
3. Identifying the biggest investment areas that could create meaningful change and opportunity for our generation (climate crisis, ability to afford a home, mental health, AI, etc.) and those that come after us
I believe investing is one of the best ways to amplify impact, and know there’s an opportunity to really rethink some of the assumptions that exist in this industry around WHY and HOW we invest.
Excited to build on my work with Gen Z VCs to make the VC & Tech industry more accessible 💫 -
