There’s an article in the Wall Street Journal I came across today with the headline below.
The article ends with a quote from a Google Cloud Chief Evangelist, Richard Seroter: “If you don’t have your data house in order, AI is going to be less valuable than it would be if it was…You can’t just buy six units of AI and then magically change your business.”
Gen AI applications have strong RoI in places like code, text, and media generation. But when it comes to making sense of data or using AI agents to drive critical business decisions, we should hold scepticism since these generative models still lack strong reasoning capabilities.
