Send me a messageHey folks, in today's episode of the Digital Supply Chain podcast 🎙️ we dive deep into the fascinating world of data science and AI, two buzzwords that are more than just hype—they're revolutionising the way we do business. My guest today, Hristo Hadjitchonev, is an expert who has been on this rollercoaster of a journey for years, and he's got some solid gold insights to share. 🌟Ever thought about how data science and AI can revamp your business? 🤔 Hristo lays out the good, the bad, and the downright complex of implementing these tech wonders. We chat about the cost-benefit analysis of building an in-house team of experts versus outsourcing to third-party solutions. Spoiler alert: neither is a one-size-fits-all solution! 💡But it’s not just about the technical side. Hristo goes beyond the algorithms to talk about the cultural shift that AI is bringing. It's not a terminator-style takeover, people! It's a transformation that we should all be welcoming with open arms. 🤖👍And, you'll love this—we touch on the ethical debates around tech. Can you believe ChatGPT is stirring up academic drama? Hristo shares a personal anecdote about how his 16-year-old son used ChatGPT for some pretty advanced research.
