Episode notes
AI Is Integral To Products
- AI in a company with an AI-driven product should not be siloed into a separate function or department.
- The engineering and AI specialties coexist within one unified product-focused team.
AI For Behavioral Authentication
- Zally uses AI to authenticate user identity through behavioral biometrics rather than passwords alone.
- This adds an extra security layer that can detect imposters even post-password and fingerprint authentication.
Unified Teams Deliver AI Products
- Organizations with fundamentally AI products need integrated AI teams rather than separate engineering and AI departments.
- Zally's team functions as one unit to deliver an AI product seamlessly.
