Is AI About Relationships?
In a way, the new technologies that we are seeing really highlight the role of humans in our world. Sure, we're using them to build things autonomously. There will be job displacement. But at the same time, there are stakeholder relationships that really make a difference day to day. For now, humans are still in the driver's seat. Navin Chaddha runs Mayfield, an investment firm that invests in seed rounds and A rounds, as well as B rounds of funding. The company boasts 120 IPOs and over 225 mergers and acquisitions. I interviewed Chaddha at Imagination in Action in April about the moving parts involved in making AI -related deals. One thing that came through is that as an investor, Chaddha wants to invest with partners early. 'The basic idea is, how do we become partners of entrepreneurs at the ideation stage, primarily when they are coming up with an idea, and help them create a company?' he said. 'We start with people, because our belief is people build products. People build companies. It's not the other way around.' Other suggestions offered by Chaddha in investment strategy involved looking for products that fit solutions, and valuing an approach over a time frame. He mentioned AI-native design as a goal. 'Our belief is (that) AI will manifest digital companions who collaborate with humans to help elevate them to become super-humans,' he said, promoting an idea he described as 'collaborative intelligence as a service' or, alternately, 'teammates as a service.' AI Teammates Karen Lee 'Every business function, every consumer function, is going to have a buddy, a teammate,' he said. At one point, talk turned to how humans and machines will communicate in the years ahead. After the iPhone, Chaddha suggested, it's hard to have a new user interface, but verbal chat, he imagined, could become the way of the future, for no-hands communication. 'The interface will be natural language,' he said. Evolution of User Interfaces Karen Lee We also talked about what I called 'the cognitive economy' and augmented intelligence. '(AI is) allowing humans to have cognitive capabilities, and together we're going to be able to do things which we weren't able to do before,' Chaddha said, invoking the ideas of superhuman speed and superhuman cognition. 'AI is a tool. It's a technology. We are the jockey, we're not the horse.' I also wanted to talk about Chaddha's assertion that we should be doing more events about AI in these years. 'We invest in relationships,' he said. 'Let's grow the pie. Let's bring the brightest people to the right relationships.' That jibed with me, as I want to continue putting on these events and setting up the broadest tent possible. I'll be bringing you more from IIA's April event soon, to showcase all of what went on, and why it matters.

AI to Become Core of All Technical Courses, Says AICTE Chairperson TG Sitharam
The meeting in Indore focused on encouraging education in Indian languages at school and higher education levels, aligning with the broader goals of the National Education Policy You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. In a major push towards tech-driven education, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) Chairperson TG Sitharam announced that artificial intelligence (AI) will soon be embedded across all branches of technical education in India. Speaking at a parliamentary advisory committee meeting chaired by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in Indore, Sitharam said that the AICTE has formed an expert panel to revise the model curriculums of engineering, IT, and management studies to integrate AI components. "The committee has already conducted three meetings and is expected to submit its recommendations within the next month," he noted. Following this, the updated curriculums could be finalised within two months, paving the way for AI-based education to begin as early as the next academic year. While the Council had already launched a BTech course in AI and Data Science in 2017, this marks the first major step towards embedding AI into the foundational framework of all technical disciplines. Sitharam also highlighted efforts to promote education in Indian languages. Over the last two years, AICTE has made 1,000 textbooks available online in 12 Indian languages, with over seven lakh downloads recorded. Currently, 54 technical institutions in the country offer various courses in these regional languages. The meeting in Indore focused on encouraging education in Indian languages at school and higher education levels, aligning with the broader goals of the National Education Policy.

Is this the ultimate US growth stock to consider buying now?
When it comes to the best US growth stocks to buy, most investors have had their sights on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). The graphic processing unit (GPU) chip designer has created some of the most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator semiconductors that data centres worldwide have rushed to buy, even at an enormous premium price tag. And as a result, the Nvidia share price has skyrocketed by over 1,400% in the last five years. However in 2025, this impressive momentum's seemingly started to calm. In fact, since the start of the year, Nvidia shares have actually fallen by around 3% – a significant change, of course, compared to the 120% gain achieved over the same period last year. And that's despite Nvidia's growth continuing to fire on all cylinders. So if the financials are still improving, but the share price isn't responding, are investors looking for a potential buying opportunity? There are 64 institutional investors tracking this business right now. And the consensus is pretty bullish, with 58 issuing either Buy or Outperform recommendations. As for price targets, the average forecast among analysts is $175 per share by this time next year – or roughly 30% higher than current levels. For a $3.3trn enterprise, a 30% potential gain's pretty enormous. But it certainly doesn't sound far-fetched. After all, Nvidia currently controls around 80% of the AI chip market, forming the backbone of global AI infrastructure. And with new AI as well as gaming chips on the horizon, the company's market dominance looks set to continue. Looking at the latest first-quarter earnings report, sales were firmly ahead of analyst expectations at $44.06bn, with the all-important data centre-related sales growing by 73% year-on-year. Pairing that with continued excessive free cash flow generation and chunky profit margins, it's not hard to understand why analysts are so bullish, especially with AI still largely in its infancy. Despite delivering 73% data centre sales growth, this was actually slower than what the firm could have delivered if it wasn't for US export restrictions on China. Specifically, the company was unable to deliver $2.5bn worth of its H20 chips to China, resulting in a $4.5bn charge relating to excess inventory and purchase obligations. With demand from China not expected to return while the export restrictions remain in place, management's warned that data centre-related revenues in the second quarter will suffer an $8bn hit. The good news is there's ample demand from non-China-based customers to offset this impact in the long run. The bad news is most of the group's sales are to a small collection of hyperscalers like Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta Platforms. And should any of these decide their AI infrastructure is sufficiently upgraded or decide to switch to competing cheaper AI chips from the likes of AMD, Nvidia's strong grip on the AI market could start to weaken. Despite the trade-related challenges Nvidia's having to navigate, it remains the industry titan. Its high-performance hardware's backed up by world-class software in the form of its CUDA libraries – a technological advantage that its peers simply don't have. That doesn't mean the firm's immune to disruption. But with shares now trading at a reasonable valuation, it's a stock that definitely seems worthy of a closer look, in my opinion.
