The world of AI is exploding, as excitement about generative AI creates a gold rush. We've already seen a huge number of new GenAI-based startups, products, and features flooding the market and we'll see a lot more emerge over the next few years. Generative AI will transform how we do business and how we interact with businesses, so right now is an excellent time to consider how to adopt AI safely.
Pamela Gupta's company literally has "trust" and "AI" in the name (Trusted.ai), so we couldn't think of anyone better to come on and have this conversation with.
