Ep 5 | The Hype and Production of AI with Adam Sroka, Incremental Group

In this week’s episode of Data Leaders of the North; The Podcast, I am joined by Adam Sroka, Director of Data & AI at Incremental Group where we discuss ‘The Hype & Production of AI’.

As one of only a very people in the industry who has AI in his title, Adam gives an overview of how he entered the world of Data and AI and his journey to date in addition to:

How AI isn’t the Zeitgeist
That one of the biggest challenges is knowing where to start and what is even possible
Why he didn’t want AI in his job title
How AI is merely a set of tools and techniques; great for some stuff, but not always the right tool, right now
That you don’t need to have a production-ready system to get value from AI
How you can sometimes get more tangible and valuable results in a quicker fashion by doing more simplistic things (not AI)
The relationship between technology and AI
How, with investment and time, the UK will play catch up with AI
Why scale plays a part in the AI strategy
That an organisations AI journey should be a series of mini-projects that are easily measurable
