Quotes

Robbi Armstrong

“I truly believe that if you are an organization and you are sitting back and you're not organizing a team and you're not organizing a program and you're not learning, you're not looking at education, you're not looking at change management around Gen AI, I don't think you'll be here in two years. I really truly believe that. Because you won't be able to compete."

“I think the democratization is real and I think it's incredibly important because that step in between the domain expert and the technology is very lossy. You know, oftentimes we say, well, if only I had the data to answer your question let me give you a different answer or let me answer it completely and now we can actually put it in the hands of the experts and say, well, oh, then let's go collect that data."
