Vishnu Ram Venkataraman (Generative AI Executive & Entrepreneur; former AI Leader at Credit Karma and Intuit) joins High Signal to unpack the true cost of generative AI. Having scaled AI solutions impacting over 140 million users, Vishnu reveals why the ease of shipping Gen AI prototypes often masks significant operational and engineering debts, challenging the conventional wisdom of rapid deployment.

We dive deep into the strategic shift from traditional ML to Gen AI, discussing why the shelf value of code is dramatically falling, how to design new organizational triads for continuous iteration, and the critical differences in testing probabilistic AI systems. The conversation also explores how to manage risk with sensitive data, the power of synthetic data in early development, and which mature ML practices remain indispensable in the new AI era.
