I've met with 40 CIOs & Technology leaders over the past 2.5 months and have asked a series of consistent questions about their AI strategy {Specific to Unstructured Data}. Lots of variance, many different priorities, but 2 things are consistent across the board... 1. All agreed that your data needs to be "cleansed" properly to make the most of generative AI. This includes a LOT of talk around permissions and access. 2. All agreed that there will not be "One AI Model To Save The World." Here is what listening to your customers brings: https://lnkd.in/e7qD4a5r Ben Kus - Box Vasi Philomin - Amazon Web Services (AWS) Daniel Rosenthal - Anthropic
