Episode description

In this episode, we talk with Gabrielle Davelaar, a senior AI specialist in the Global Black Belt organization for EMEA at Microsoft. We delve into the rapid evolution of AI adoption in large enterprises, highlighting the challenges around scalability, sustainability, and security. Gabrielle emphasizes the importance of optimizing AI models and infrastructure, rather than simply chasing the latest and greatest hardware, drawing a parallel to the "iPhone effect" that has gripped the AI community. We explore the potential of small language models (SLMs) as a more targeted and accessible alternative to large language models like GPT-3 and GPT-4. We also discuss the need for better security practices around AI, including the idea of "hacking" AI models to identify vulnerabilities.
