Why Your AI Has No Idea What's Happening in the World with Campbell Brown, CEO & Co-Founder of PredictHQ

from Modern CTO · host ProSeries Media

Understanding the real world is the biggest potential advantage of AI. Today, we're talking to Campbell Brown, CEO and cofounder of PredictHQ, about the layer of real-world intelligence that AI models are still missing. We discuss why 65% of unexplained demand spikes come down to something most businesses completely ignore, how a New Zealand car rental company became the data backbone for Uber and Expedia, why the era of reading API documentation is effectively over, and what it actually means to "eat stress" as a founder — and why reconciling it matters just as much. All of this right here, right now, on the Modern CTO Podcast!  To learn more about PredictHQ, check out their website here.
