Welcome to the very first Dr. Data Show episode with a guest: Michael Griebe, Chief Data Officer at Hahn Agency!
 
With the great changes brought to data science careers by genAI, Michael addresses pressing open questions that should be top of mind for every data scientist:
 
One compelling reason to focus on predictive AI more than genAI.
Why it's a safe bet that some consumer-facing LLMs will eventually be given too much "power," resulting in unexpected exposed vulnerabilities and costly lessons – and one way in which we can now work against that.
How Michael's team created a pilot AI assistant in less than a day – and then launched it into wide-scale production in less than a week.
Excuse my furious typing noises (as I absorbed Michael’s compelling input) and I hope you find his insights as exciting as I did!
