Send us Fan MailThis audio production is intended to bring new technologies that impact our lives, like digital assets, central bank digital currencies and artificial intelligence in an easy to understand way to a larger audience.In this episode, we discuss tensions such as the ease of proof-of-concept creation versus the difficulty of production deployment, the promise of copilots against their real-world limitations, and the shift in data moat significance. Conversely, we detail key trends observed from CIOs, including exploding AI budgets, the prevalence of multi-model strategies, maturing procurement processes, and a growing preference for buying off-the-shelf AI applications over building them. Finally, we sees a picture of an AI market that is rapidly moving from experimentation to essential deployment, though the former suggests the journey is messier than often portrayed.For more on AI, check out Leon's books on the subject. They can then be found on Amazon next to his other publications: http://tiny.cc/cbdcMore information is available on www.digitalekho.com
