2023 was a breakout year for artificial intelligence. It dominated news headlines as well as LinkedIn feeds. But its impact goes beyond the professional—I often overhear conversations at coffee shops about AI from people who aren’t knee-deep in the field. Whoever you are, AI is likely having a transformative impact on your life.
How generative AI brings radical new capabilities to the world of AI and machine learning.
Traditional AI models typically specialize in processing a specific type of user prompt, whether image- or text-based. However, a paradigm shift is underway with the emergence of a new generation of AI models known as "multimodal" systems. Unlike their predecessors, these advanced models can process a diverse range of inputs seamlessly. They can adeptly handle various media types, such as text, images, audio, video, and even code.
The foundation of any successful AI initiative is a well-integrated and meticulously managed data platform.
In the rapidly evolving tech landscape, the promise of control reigns supreme. And, it’s why founders, CEOs, and technical decision-makers are increasingly drawn to the idea of building in-house platforms. The appeal is understandable: complete sovereignty over every layer of the tech stack, from the user interface down to the most granular data interactions. It's an intoxicating vision that promises a bespoke solution tailored precisely to a company's unique needs.
