Episode notes

This chapter explains how raw documents are used as training data for AI models instead of organized tables. It discusses the impact of chatbots and the sudden increase in the value of data. The chapter also explores the importance of data labeling and the transformation of various tools and companies in the ML industry.

Aptiv, Baidu, Cerebras, Dataiku… we could keep going… and going… and going. If you know what this list is composed of (nerd), then you probably have some appreciation for how complex and fast moving the AI landscape is today. It would be impossible for a mere human to stay on top of it all, right? Wrong! Our guest on this episode, Matthew Lynley, does exactly that! In his Substack newsletter, Supervised, he covers all of the breaking news in a way that's accessible even if you aren't an MLE (that’s a "machine learning engineer," but you knew that already, right?). We were thrilled he stopped by to chat with Julie, Tim and Val about some of his recent observations and discuss what the implications are for analysts and organizations trying to make sense of it all.
