Thoughts behind our work at Brightwild Ventures
What we are thinking about…
What does human + frugal AI look like?
There is a lot of excitement about replacing humans with machines. We are interested in how AI can be used as a tool to help people achieve what they could not before. Instead of power hungry models chasing frontiers we are interested in ‘frugal’ AI - solutions that deliver as efficiently as possible and with local benefits.
How can we be an “anti-enshittification” fund?
Energy is shifting from commodities we burn to technologies like solar, wind, batteries, and digital solutions. These can be distributed, connected, modular and therefore built, owned and run completely differently. It is also means they can succumb to ‘enshittification’ - the degradation of digital techologies as they prioritise profit over shared value. We look for solutions that ensure this does not happen.
