Exciting developments are unfolding in the realm of AI, particularly with the advent of GenAI; Tom Stuermer, Global Senior Managing Director of our elite Snowflake partner Accenture and our Snowflake CEO, Sridhar Ramaswamy recently discussed the transformative potential of GenAI and how AI is moving beyond the hype phase. As we move from Gen AI hype to reality, organizations should focus on three key areas to successfully unlock its benefits in 2024: 1. Organizations can reimagine the user experiences, enhancing it in particular where scattered information delays time to action, including search and information retrieval.  2. Organizations need to ensure their data is ready and that its high quality, to deliver accurate and reliable results for their gen AI solutions.  3. Organizations should adopt a data platform strategy that makes AI accessible to everyone, not just developers, thanks to the new natural language interface of models.

We are at the start of a wave of technology disruption, and with it comes a wealth of opportunities for the UK. But it's also true that change can be daunting, and our recent Innovation Catalyst research shows that some UK decision-makers are struggling to keep up with the pace of disruption. If you're feeling 'behind' on your AI journey, here are three things to keep in mind: #1: Don't tie yourself in knots about doing innovation 'right'. 'Doing it right' means taking the first step. #2: Innovation doesn't have to mean going with the biggest, brightest idea in the room. Look for the small, iterative wins that will have the most impact. #3: The most innovative ideas can come from anywhere. Your people are your innovation engine, so build a culture that encourages everyone to ask questions and think creatively. Thankfully, no one has to be alone on this journey. We can help anyone, at any point in their transformation, navigate the challenges ahead and embrace the promise of AI. #iwork4dell #innovation #genAI #AI

Barry McCardel, the co-founder and CEO of Hex, is bullish on a new golden era of data teams, because, “There's an infinite demand for insight and an infinite demand for data work.” Barry joins Tristan Handy on the Analytics Engineering Podcast to discuss the hype cycle of data science, how AI is different, the experience of building AI products, and how AI will impact data practitioners. https://lnkd.in/d-hfmisr
