Understanding AI Stakes to Break Production Code: Philip Rathle

When your mindblowing prototype meets the real world, GenAI projects can get stuck on their way to production. Whether the sticking points have to do with accuracy, explainability, compliance, cost, privacy, or something else, depends a lot on what’s at stake. In this round table session, we will explore “getting unstuck” and how that's different depending on project stakes... where "stakes" refers to what you have to gain or lose from good & bad answers. Let’s explore the bar for “getting to production” together through this lens--considering things like dollar impact, brand & reputational impact, privacy, bias, health & human safety, regulatory, etc. Bring your examples and questions and learn from each other’s successes and challenges to break the AI production code.
