Group CIO at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Offline rag workflows have improved compliance and cost control but still need domain-focused datasets
I would like to see additional features in the future where Meta Llama allows us to have the datasets by domain, rather than just covering everything. There is nothing else I would add or improve at this moment; everything is still in progress. The world is moving in different directions, and I need to make a use case out of it properly for AI, especially in the supply chain and financial services. I am trying to see how we can bring AI on top of CRM or AI on top of ERP. That is the way things are moving. You cannot have AI as the main product; AI is just a subsidiary product or add-on. It is not mainstream and can never be mainstream. I would like to bring most implementers in business to understand this because in business, we go technology, but we need to go from the business line towards AI. The question is how do you deploy AI on top of your existing infrastructure? We need accessibility and affordability of AI for small and medium businesses; that is where the game changer is happening, and that is where I am investing my time and money.
