3 年A very important message Kevin McDonnell: “AI still has a long way to go, [which is] why interoperability will drive the success of Digital Health startups and more.”. As interoperability and its purpose can be confusing and elusive, and as furthermore the risk is more than waiting for AI to materialise value gains, I have suggested a model for VC-backed innovation, that is a better fit for the current stage in the envisaged Industry 4.0 without bubbles. https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/metaverse-ethics-innovation-circular-digital-economy-dimitrios
