I found Maik’s post very insightful. Hence I reshare. Very optimistic that we can deal with this bias. As Maik mentions, there are concepts and tools in place to mitigate this.

One aspect I want to highlight: While hiring is a very significant example, it is just one example of many in a world of AI agents conversing towards a business goal. So awareness and implementation of mechanism to mitigate this bias is key.

𝗜𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻? 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲?

I was listening to Machine Learning Street Talk (MLST) “The Real Reason Huge AI Models Actually Work” [1]. Many interesting take-aways, a lot to still be digested by me. But really this stuck to my mind.

In AI research, a fascinating concept has emerged: “𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.” The idea is that intelligence can be measured by how well a system compresses information—finding patterns and structures to represent data in fewer bits. This ability to simplify and predict effectively showcases understanding and problem-solving skills.

Wow! Moritz Michael Mücke and my colleague Alex talking about the amazing success story of Dyn Media. What a start in the week! Tomasz did a great job in highlighting some of the key facts, but there is soo much more to unpack. This is a much watch (German Content).

Tomasz & Miguel : Cloud-Handbuch. I love the format. Hope there is more to come!

“-> I guess I start the first brain gym 🤪” -

Diana’s post below has this interesting take. One argument in tech adoption is always does it frees human resources for higher value tasks. Just stepping out of a subway with everyone swippping their phones I’m not sure anymore. Heading to my brain gym - aka office …

📱 𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝟮𝗗 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄 – 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝘁𝘄𝗼-𝗱𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

This thought emerged during a recent discussion with colleagues and customers about how we collaborate in distributed, often remote teams. There are definitely pros and cons to consider.

📚 It reminded me of 𝗘𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗔. 𝗔𝗯𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁’𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝟭𝟴𝟴𝟰 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹 “𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱” – a brilliant mathematical story that explores both spatial dimensions and social commentary.

💯 Tech for Good: AWS and The Ocean Cleanup Unite to Remove Plastic from Our Oceans

🇳🇱 Just returning from the Netherlands, I’m very happy to read about a fruitful cooperation between a local NGO and AWS:

🤝 AWS is partnering with The Ocean Cleanup to help remove plastic from the oceans more rapidly using artificial intelligence and cloud computing. By providing machine learning and real-time data processing tools, AWS enables The Ocean Cleanup to better predict and track plastic accumulation patterns—making plastic removal efforts more efficient and effective. This collaboration demonstrates how advanced AWS technology can be used to address major environmental challenges beyond just business needs.

All of us can relate to that feeling when we got our first pocket money 🎯 Entering a new stage of power and independence.

Parents can relate to that moment too - just from the other side 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Empowering their kids. Putting trust in them while navigating doubts.

Most readers here are considered grown-ups (personally, I still struggle with that term - there’s always more growth to explore! 😅), so at some point, we earned that trust and everything turned out successful.

🚀𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘄𝘀? - An Evening of Inspiration and Insights…

Last night I had the pleasure to mingle with leaders at the AWS ExecLeaders Networking Dinner event in my hometown - loads of insightful and fruitful discussions!

🌟 𝗞𝗲𝘆𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: LAURA WINTERLING 🚀🚁🚒, who came all the way over from Cologne on one of the very rare permits 😉, sparked many of those discussions with her inspiring keynote “𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲: 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴.” She opened our eyes to peek into an entirely different world of space travel while providing insights that are very applicable to our daily business world. 💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: Perfection vs. Excellence and taking decisions at the right point in time - these themes really stick with me. In the Amazon world: “Insist on the highest standards” versus “Bias for action.”

Podcast - my new medium? 🎙️

Another highlight from my last day at IBC! 📺

The #AWS booth was packed throughout the entire event. It was challenging for me to explore beyond “just” captivation & monetization - there was so much to discover! 🚀

The final day allowed for a little more flexibility, and Olivier Boder and I ended up recording a podcast covering all the new trends in Media & Entertainment, Multi-Channel Monetization, and how customers can start implementing AI Agents as extensions of their existing teams. 🤖
