In the upcoming episode, I sit down with the AI expert Jorge Davila-Chacon, to look at the more practical applications of AI, rather than the more theoretical perspectives that often are discussed on the podcast. . We dive into the art of pinpointing the right business facets for AI integration and ponder over the feasibility of retrofitting existing projects with AI components. Jorge shares invaluable insights on the essential considerations for seamlessly weaving AI into businesses and offers a first-hand account of a project where AI played a pivotal role. Lastly, we delve into an exciting comparison between the emergent generative AI tools and bespoke AI systems, touching upon fascinating tools like ChatGPT, ChatDOC, Midjounrey, and more. And of course, we couldn't let him go without peering into the future of AI.
