Top 50 Generative AI experts to follow

In a previous newsletter, I shared that I am compiling a list of generative AI experts to follow

Here is an update on the approach and how you can stay updated as I share it starting this week

The question was originally asked by one of my students

It's actually not easy to compile such a list

The first challenge is to define the (rapidly changing) world of Gen AI

Here are the references I used

They are useful in themselves

1) Eduardo Ordax list of Gen AI partnerships?

This diagram is a classic

It defines the various ways the industry is aligning. Eduardo keeps it updated :)?

2) Aishwarya Naresh Reganti - LLM tools and frameworks?

I have mentioned Aishwarya's work a number of times. This diagram presents a good view of the world of LLM in terms of tools and frameworks?

3) Tingyi Li Generative AI application ecosystem,?

I reached out to Tingyi and invited her to present at Oxford based on this diagram. Its a very good representation of the Gen AI ecosystem. Although AWS specific you can work out the components in general

4) Cobus Greyling LLM stack

I have followed this stack from the earliest days of chatGPT. Now in its fifth version, this is another good depiction of how LLM components fit together

finally

5) 50 most visited AI tools in the last 12 months - depicts what people are actually using at an application level

So , the next task is to then work out the people to follow in these segments. Welcome thoughts if I have missed any elements in the big picture.?

This is a complex task but I hope to send the first set of leaders by this weekend?

Notes

1) This list is not a ranking

2) I will simply find the best people in my experience across these sectors (which in my view, comprise the holistic Gen AI space).

3) The emphasis is not on title but on consistent original contribution which benefits the community and from whom you can learn.

4) This may end up 'long tail' i.e. a large number of experts in niches. In that sense, top 50 is arbitrary - could be more :)

5) In any case, you should benefit from following them
