How to develop an AI-enabled SaaS product
Software as a Service grew due to Cloud computing, adding cost, scalability, and ease of use advantages. With AI on the rise, a new sect of Services have started to come about - AISaaS or Artificial Intelligence Software as a Service. These are AI tools that are made to help businesses grow at a larger rate by streamlining processes that were manual before hand. This article deconstructs what it takes to build your own AISaaS, and who knows, maybe inspire you to build something of your own! - Reed Cowan
The democratization and commoditization of AI/ML
While machine learning engineers will benefit from the AI boom, machine learning scientists could feel a pinch, according to the author. These scientists will need to move into more specialized fields of focus in order to continue providing value while generally-trained models dominate the low-hanging-fruit problems. I for one am excited to get back to fundamental maths. - John Forstmeier
The Ultimate Guide to Making Sense of Data
Walbaum argues that few companies are actually data driven; most rely on judgement calls before data. In order to steer the ship with data, you need to have a handle on what drives your business (and there's a helpful link in there to get you started). Overall, this is a lovely breakdown of how to decide which data metrics to track, how to monitor them, and what insights to extract. - Katt Baum
Boosting Efficiency and Performance with Innovative Data Engineering Strategies
Ashmin is a consummate data engineering professional and has an extensive background with a wide toolset. With talks on how automation can potentially displace jobs, Ashmin does a great job at talking through how automation will just allow engineers to focus on engineers, not admins. He also believes that seamlessly integrating systems is the future of successful data teams, a mission we strongly believe in as well. - Angel Catalan
