INTERVIEW #Enterprise organizations are still struggling to figure out how AI fits into their business, and that may be for the best because it will take time to understand any problems caused by AI-generated code and content.
“No one knows right now what the right reference architectures or use cases are for their institution,” said Dorian Smiley, co-founder and #CTO of AI advisory service Codestrap, in an interview with The Register. “A lot of people are pretending that they know. But there’s no playbook to pull from.”
Smiley and his co-founder, #CEO Connor Deeks, did time at global consultancy PwC and have set up their own shop to help shepherd organizations toward an AI strategy.
They argue that companies chasing AI have gotten ahead of themselves.
“From the large language model perspective, people aren’t really addressing the fallibility of the underlying text,” said Deeks.
Deeks argues that if you built an AI system from first principles, it would look drastically different from what’s offered today. All the talk about the disappearance of software engineering and office work, he said, “we don’t subscribe to any of that.”
He also contends that companies don’t want to believe that either. “For the most part, they don’t want to believe that everyone’s going to be fired and there’s not going to be anyone underneath them, particularly in the technology or information organizations inside these institutions,” he said.
