Current LLMs rely on pre-trained data from text-based sources like public datasets and the internet, which may implicate inherent biases. 

Georgian’s Applied Research Scientist, Angeline Yasodhara, discusses these biases and efforts to minimize them. https://grgn.io/3TmfRty

GenAI is developing quickly. Depending on a company’s stage of AI maturity, it may not always be clear how to integrate GenAI into a software product. 

Based on our hands-on work with companies in our portfolio, Georgian created a Crawl, Walk, Run framework to help companies go from the initial stages of AI integration to more advanced levels of technical sophistication. https://grgn.io/3wAn9SL

A big thanks to all who joined our GenAI-focused community event on February 8 in Toronto. Georgian’s own Margaret Wu, Insight Partners’ Jenna Zerker and Radical Ventures’ Ryan Shannon led a thoughtful discussion on how AI investors are navigating common patterns observed while funding companies. Our breakout sessions also examined strategies for GenAI adoption and finding differentiation for early stage companies. 🚀
