| 1 | HIGH | Reynolds Shin (co-founder) | Databricks | 02:20 | 07-adoption-challenges | You want to focus and start with the ones that the cost of getting it wrong is low. So you can be more risk tolerant. And then you can actually validate or easier to validate whether it’s right or wrong. So you can monitor the progress over time. |
| 2 | HIGH | Vijoy Pandey (SVP) | OutShift | 03:48 | 02-corporate-tools | We use generative AI for recruitment. Looking at resumes, summarization of resumes, sending out emails to potentials. There is an assistant for the enterprise. I mean, that’s another great use case where imagine searching for things within the enterprise using classical search mechanisms versus derivative AI mechanisms. It’s a night and day difference. |
| 3 | HIGH | Reynolds Shin (co-founder) | Databricks | 06:50 | 07-adoption-challenges | For it to improve, you kind of need to know how well it’s doing. And for any sort of improvement you deploy, you also need to know, hey, is it actually doing better or is it doing worse? And then the other thing which is very important in the traditional applied machine learning is the data, which is do you have the right data? Are you getting the monitoring of your data into the right place? Are you getting the right input? Are they clean? So this is a very important data engineering problem. |
