Clarity Over AI Hype

Thank you for joining us, this morning or afternoon, depending on where you are in the world. I'm Ollie. I'm one of the, cofounders and CEO at Calcutta. I'm really grateful to have you with us. With this is gonna be a session we're talking about why clarity is more important than AI in your data stack. If that's not why you're here, then you should leave because that's what we're gonna be talking about for the next forty minutes or so plus. A lot of chance for discussion and questions. So today, as you as you probably imagine, we're talking about AI. And my goal our goal today really is to try and, throw some realism on the hype train of AI. Not that doesn't mean we're not considering AI and how important it is, but we're just really trying to make sure that we're discussing what really matters and where our AI can be most helpful in the data stack. And to do that, we've got amazing panel with us today, panel of people who are at the forefront of leading their organizations through this journey, thinking about AI in the context of their business and also in their data organizations and also building products in the data space, to try and bring AI in at the right time, the right way. So my goal for this session, the goal we will be talking through is really to help you, everyone here to build a better mental model about how to think about AI, how not to lose, complete like, have a very clear mental model about what matters, how to go about the change, how to think about it, and hear from real people thinking this through out loud to help you understand that you're not alone, that maybe you're not as far behind as you think you are or that there's many areas of opportunity to go after. That's really the goal, a really open conversation. And we'll definitely make sure as we're talking, we'd love you to hear your questions as as they come up. We'll try and answer them as they come, if they feel appropriate, but we're also gonna leave lots of space and time at the end of this for questions that we'll definitely answer at the end. So, make sure you stick around for that. We'll also be asking you to give us your questions and feedback through polls and just make sure this is dynamic and as useful for you as possible.
