ON_Discourse Group Chat for AI Leaders: Does Frontier AI Have the Wrong Business Model?

​Barry Wacksman, former Vice Chairman and Global Chief Strategy Officer at R/GA for 21 years, and is now Chairman and Co-Founder at Proto, an innovation company, recently made the  argument that frontier AI labs are repeating the agency mistake of the 90s: creating massive value, capturing almost none of it. OpenAI has raised $186B but runs at a $14B loss. If the labs can't price invention, who captures the upside, the application layer, the services companies, or the industries being transformed?

​In our next ON_Discourse Group Chat Barry, together with invited guests including investors, founders and members of our C-Suite network for a closed-door session that will unpack Barry's argument and debate what the business models of tomorrow need to look like.

​ON_Discourse Group Chats are live, high-signal discourse driven conversations with AI leaders, builders and operators.

​Not your typical Zoom, these are intimate, provocative, deeply practical sessions where we sharpen each others perspectives.
