- Why "good data" can be more important than "big data" as the world moves towards a more data-centric versus model-centric view of AI.
- The importance of explainability and bias detection before any model gets into production at scale.
- The value of strategically combining human and machine intelligence and why "symbiotic intelligence" is the best of both worlds.
- Why the evolution of AI systems is going to happen more quickly than the evolution of traditional software, and how we are truly at the beginning of a scale up inflection point.
