Episode 45 | Reflecting on 2 Years of Generative AI
The Big Themes:
- GenAI’s Anniversary: Reflecting on the two-year anniversary of GenAI hitting the mainstream, Bonnie notes that in reality, we still haven’t seen a lot of changes yet in the sense that AI hasn’t taken our jobs. The overall consensus is that many people are using it to increase productivity; the idea that we’re replacing half the workforce overnight is not coming to be.
- Rapid Implementation: While some companies may not have much flexibility on their implementation timeline, fast and cheap isn’t necessarily the best way to incorporate AI. Rapid implementation can lead to unanticipated risks and increased costs in the long run.
- Software Vendors and Partners: For customers to truly benefit from implementing AI, they need good partners to help them be realistic with their timelines and options. The good software vendors and partners are cautioning customers to ensure they know what they’re getting into and making deliverables clear.
The Big Quote: “Work with a partner that you trust and that’s going to tell you the truth…They’ve seen it a million times. They know you as well and they know your resources. They know the scope of your project. Find those partners that you can really trust and they’re going to help you [and] lead you on the right path.”
