The biggest challenges of our time require building dynamic capabilities in the public sector, not outsourcing to consultants. This afternoon I spoke at @Apoliticalco’s #ApoliticalDay with @RobynScott and policymakers on the urgent need to build state capacity. Read @UCL_IIPP’s report on the Public Sector Capabilities Index ➡️ ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/publicati… More on the consultification of Government in my book #TheBigCon here ➡️ marianamazzucato.com/books/t…

upstartsmedia.com/p/infinity… After years of building in the shadows, I’m thrilled to share @_InfinityConst's emergence from stealth today. Born from some of the most ambitious ideas within @InvTechInc, Infinity is the first AI-native HoldCo. Already with 8 startups generating $7M+ in annualized revenue, we just raised a $12M seed round led by @mariabrw at @freestylevc, along with @BackedVC, @deepwatermgmt, BY Venture Partners, and leading angels. This round follows $5M in pre-seed capital invested by Invisible in 2023 & 2024. Many thanks to @br3nnan, Charlie Songhurst, @scottdownes, and so many others who helped make this a reality. Software was a technology, subscriptions became its business model. AI is a technology, what is the natural business model of AI? We believe both Enterprise SaaS & traditional Enterprise Services will be disrupted by a new business model: AI Process Platforms - pioneered by Invisible Technologies, Palantir Technologies & ServiceNow. The legendary @alexrkonrad of @UpstartsMediaCo breaks the news:

Were you bored at school? Apolitical CEO @RobynScott wasn’t — she was homeschooled and had the freedom to explore, play, and follow her curiosity. In this exciting collaboration with the storytellers at Gather, Robyn brings her story to life. 🎦 youtube.com/watch?v=WbYiEKYn…

Our co-founder and CEO @RobynScott in action this morning at the @CogX_Festival Global Leadership Summit in London, talking about the potential returns of AI for governments and society.
Fewer road deaths, more efficient tasking of coastguard 🚁, much greater wealth - more fairly distributed. A distinguished panel answers the question "How serious are the returns from #AI for governments, industry, citizens and consumers?" #cogxfestival2023 #cogxfestival23
