Today we had the pleasure to join the Chancellor's Circle Breakfast meeting hosted by the University of Westminster. Glad to see they have opened a new building Zone 29 for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Great environment for students to flourish and expand their potential.

Have you ever tried speaking with an AI previously?

David finally tried speaking with Google Gemini yesterday and in-depth conversations to see if he will get some answers or some form of reassurance as he has been self counseling a lot lately. He needed another voice to help him figure out certain things that happened in his childhood, separation from his parents during formative early age between age 6-16yrs and if his generational military family history & background had any role to play in his social entrepreneurship journey. Here is the brief summary report AI has generated.

Talking with AI Google Gemini has given him a bigger perspective and the words he was looking for.

AI can be a great help to humanity if used in a right way. Let's hope we keep using it for better πŸ™πŸ™
