3. "Building and Using The AI Platforms"

Abstract: In recent years, we've seen a large number of AI platforms enabling non engineers to use AI, and AI platform as a service providers enabling engineers to use AI at scale. More recently, there has been a wave of startups enabled by AI without exposing AI to the end user. This new wave of AI enabled businesses has new questions to answer. I don't have all the answers, but in this talk I will share what I've learned so far.
