Navigating what’s real vs. what’s snake oil in today’s AI marketplace

“The Confusion of AI Terminology: The Power of AI and Prompting” on the Ecosystems Show

“So, here’s this company that has gone to the legal trouble to rename itself with ‘AI’ in the name, but doesn’t actually know what the thing it’s now named after is.”

There’s such extraordinary noise around AI right now, but this includes a big dose of snake oil where every company is suddenly claiming to be an AI expert. How do organizations navigate the maze and separate the real from the hype?

In this conversation, the hosts share their thoughts on the current state of AI and the future possibilities it holds: AI and its application in organizations, challenges facing those who sell AI, confusion surrounding AI terminology, the importance of data management and governance in AI projects, the concept of agents and how they can enhance AI capabilities, and other topics such as prompting, chaos engineering, process mining, and responsible AI. We wrap up with a chat about Cloud Lighthouse Labs and the upcoming “Cloud Lighthouse Learn” course offerings.
