Eric Siu talks to AI executives about why even top leaders feel behind in a fast-moving field. He argues that humility matters more than appearing ahead, and that peer groups where people share resources and meet regularly help everyone improve faster.
Even if you feel that you're ahead in AI right now, I feel like I'm behind every day. People think, oh, I should be speaking on this stuff. Everyone in that group, I'll tell you this, we're all in this chat group with executives and we all feel like we're behind every single day. Even though we feel like we're ahead, we feel like we're behind. That's a really important thing to just stay humble and also to keep in mind that you should be putting together peer groups. So if you're not in a peer group, put together a peer group of like-minded people. I don't care what stage you're at. You could be starting out in your career, you can be mid-senior level, you can be executive level, you can be a founder. This group that I'm in right now, you're sharing things all the time. And I think that part is very important. You're sharing things all the time. We're getting on Zoom meetings. When you hang out with like-minded people, you end up getting better a lot faster. And I think that's very valuable.
