Description
"How to Build a New Generation of AI Native Products"
We’ve seen an explosion of investment in AI infrastructure and foundation models, yet a commensurate surge of popular AI products has yet to follow. In this talk, we’ll explain the dearth of existing products, examine building blocks for AI native AI products, and present methodologies for exploring new AI product ideas. Attendees will leave armed with a sharper view of problems preventing progress and tools to start tackling those problems themselves.
