Generative AI may feel like the new kid on the block, but it's not as different from traditional machine learning as you might think.

In this episode of Talking AI, we’re joined by Simba Khadder, Co-Founder & CEO of Featureform, and Omar Shanti, CTO of Hatchworks AI, to discuss how generative AI builds upon established ML principles and infrastructure. We explore the misconception that it exists as its own little island, when in reality, we see a clear continuity between classic ML and newer AI technologies.

Simba and Omar break down the unique aspects of GenAI, such as prompting and large language models (LLMs), while also highlighting the shared foundations with traditional ML. They also touch on the evolution of retrieval augmented generation (RAG), the ML vs. GenAI lifecycle, and what MLOps teams should consider when it comes to driving value in a business.
