AI: Excitement and Fear

There you go. So that's that's one. Well, thank you so much for being here, everyone, and being willing to share your thoughts and discussions on this topic, which is obviously really, well, is the topic of the month in technology, definitely. So I I guess with this, as you can see, the panel we've got here, we've got people who are are leading teams building products both for their end users or for data leaders and data teams to try and engage with this topic. So we've got a really broad panel. I guess what I want to do just to set the scene and just to give you a sense of how I wanted to to manage this discussion, I wanna use a bit of time now to just sort of with with you all here, just talk through, like, where your head is at right now with AI, how you're applying it. Just help us sort of set the scene about how you're thinking about this challenge and what we're seeing more generally just to help us on like, get ourselves a grip of the grip of the hype and see what's happening day to day. Then I'm gonna we're gonna start talking about actually the challenges of data teams more generally, and we'll use a bit of an audience poll to help us steer that conversation and really make sure we're landing back into what is really what is really matters, what what is the fundamental problems we've gotta solve as a data, community data industry. How does AI apply to that then? And then start looking forwards into, like, the like, what does it mean for our teams, our skills, how we think about opposition in the organization. So that's kind of a very high level narrative I want us to go on over the next sort of, you know, thirty five minutes or so. So maybe to start off with, let's just do a bit of a round table and just get a sense of how you're thinking about it. Like, what's your emotions when it comes to AI? How are you thinking about it? Like, and maybe how you're starting to explore it in your own work or as an organization. Jessica, maybe we can start with you. Do you wanna give us a sense of, like, what is well, how is your head? How full is your head of AI right now? How sick of it are you? How excited are you? Nervous? All the all the above. And then maybe how you're applying it as a team, as individual, as you're starting to bring into your day to day work.
