Last month, I had the honour of delivering the keynote at the Furthr Founders @ GEC event, an exclusive networking event for entrepreneurs and founders supported by Furthr. This event fostered a strong sense of community, where founders engaged in meaningful discussions on topics crucial to their start-ups and personal journeys as entrepreneurs.

As the Co-Founder and CCO of Alldus & Founder of AI Ireland, I shared insights on the current AI landscape, highlighting advancements, trends, and the potential for innovation. We explored:

1. The Evolving AI Landscape: Understanding where AI stands today and its future trajectory.
2. Implications for Founders: The potential for innovation, new business models, and integrating AI into existing products and services.
3. Benefits and Downsides of AI: A balanced view of AI’s benefits and ethical considerations.
4. EU AI Act and Compliance: The impact of the EU AI Act and the importance of adherence to avoid legal risks and build consumer trust.

Post-keynote, founders joined roundtable discussions on:
- Integrating AI into business models
- Importance of paying customers from the start
- Sustainability and ESG assessments
- International D2C scaling and digital marketing
- AI, the EU Act, and product/service risks
- Maximising Enterprise Ireland’s global network
- Lessons from bootstrapping
- Securing Pre-Seed Start Fund (PSSF)

After the keynote it was a privilege to lead a table topic discussion on the impact of the AI EU Act. The session delved into regulatory risks and provided practical insights on compliance.

The event was a fantastic opportunity to connect with a diverse group of founders, many of whom are in the pre-seed funding stage, eager to integrate AI and navigate regulatory landscapes.
Thanks for the invite Laura Ahern and Martin Murray
