A1: The over-proliferation of data, the inability of humans to leverage data at scale, and the great potential untapped data represents, including solving true human problems.

Q1 - Democratization of technology has made AI easier to consume. This has been demonstrated widely with the rise of #ConsumableApps #eweek

@Chris_Ehrlich Agree on over-proliferation of data -- for sure!

A1: AI for IT Operations (aka #AIOps) is a trend we are seeing heat up in the #AI market. AIOps applies AI and ML, & #bigdata analysis to automate #IT operations making IT teams more successful & efficient.

A1: The number one thing for AI is the need for transparency. By turning the AI black box into a glass box, individuals can turn insights into actions and make better decisions. This empowers humans and business to be more efficient and better serve customers

@Chris_Ehrlich data is everywhere, now machines can finally leverage it to do more while maintaining some of the same architecture and framework.

A1: We see that the market is moving more so into MLOps. What used to be known as model development, data gathering, monitoring, etc are beginning to adopt the same term.

@RikChomko But is it a glass box? I think it's still unclear for many.

I guess that's what I'm saying is that it needs to move towards being a glass box vs black box which is currently is now.

A1: Agree with @victorthu's point about the growth (or explosion even!) in MLOps

I agree, @JamesMaguire, it doesn't have to be a glass box. Just like most software today is not a glass box. It's a matter of understanding what your models are doing.

A1: Hyper automation and an explosion of data across IT and OT.

if it was glass .. maybe people wouldn’t be so afraid of it. It is these unknowns that keep people from adopting innovative AI technologies.

@RikChomko Yup, I'm with you -- positive moment is key.

A1: I think another (continuing) trend is the push for more data and more compute. We're really seeing this in the NLP space with the trend in LLMs showing no signs of stopping yet

@RyRaiker And I think some are uneasy with it -- particularly workers who feel threatened.

new research and development in AI shows that workers can be assisted rather than replaced - this information should be spread far in wide. Every human worker should wonder why they don’t use an AI assistant at work.

So great to be here with everyone!

Hi from Nashville, Tennessee!

Thanks @JamesMaguire for having us. Excited to be here!

Thank you, @JamesMaguire for having me. @BMCSoftware #eweekchat
