Practical AI for Real-World Use with David Evans (Ep. 5)
What does artificial intelligence really mean for industries like finance, and why do so many get it wrong?
In this episode of The Outstanding Shift, Andrew Evans sits down with his brother, David Evans, Senior Machine Learning Model Developer at Duolingo, who had previous stints at Google and other major tech companies. Together, they dig into the myths, fears, and realities of AI, from its 70-year evolution to the transformative “Attention is All You Need” paper, and how today’s large language models (LLMs) can be powerful workflow tools rather than just flashy novelties.
