Eric Siegel, Founder and CEO, of Gooder AI explains to Sanjay Kalluvilayil, Founder and CEO, of Stonehaas Advisors the difference between Predictive AI and Generative AI and how the two really need to work to solve one another's great limitations in a hybridized fashion. How we can start realizing at least a good portion of what's generally audacious promise of autonomy of generative AI with a new kind of reliability layer that's semi-autonomous and that involves developing the right guardrails in a bespoke manner for each problem that you're trying to solve. They try to put the AGI hype in its place and differentiate between the real feasible potential value and use cases versus a lot of the public narrative that tends to over promise.Key Insights1. Machine Learning and Predictive AI still have untapped opportunities to drive real business ROI, but is being overshadowed by generative hype.2. Generative AI needs a “reliability layer” with guardrails and 'humans in the loop' to be production-ready and ensure quality,3. The future of AI is hybrid, combining predictive precision with generative flexibility to generate meaningful results.4. The "AGI" and “agentic AI” hype cycle risks creating an unsustainable AI bubble with severe consequences5. Real AI success comes from human collaboration, grounded strategy, and patience to find the best places to grow and scale an organization.🎙️ The AI Space Podcast — Ep. 24 Guest: Eric Siegel | Founder & CEO | Gooder AIChapters00:00 Trailer01:23 Teaser02:08 Welcome and Introductions03:15 Hottest Trends in AI07:12 Top AI Strategies to Grow & Scale10:22 Eric's AI-ML Journey16:41 Gooder AI Overview22:12 AIML Tech Overview25:02 Bank Fraud or Churn27:46 Predictive vs. Generative AI36:36 Why this AI Podcast? 37:30 Subscribe & Follow Us38:33 Vision, Mindset, & Strategy43:10 Actions & Execution47:30 How to Grow and Scale49:24 AI Autonomy Hype51:47 Foundational Models 54:33 Democratization56:43 Ethical & Responsible AI59:09 AI Stock Bubble1:01:07 Realistic Future of AI1:04:15 Final Thoughts & Encouragement1:04:54 Outro1:05:08 Subscribe & Follow UsKey Links: 🌐 https://theaispacepodcast.ai🌐 https://stonehaasadvisors.com/📅 https://calendly.com/sanjay-stonehaasadvisors/ai-advantage-15-min🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjaykalluvilayil/🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-aispace-podcast-with-host-sanjay-kalluvilayil/Host Bio: Sanjay Kalluvilayil is a visionary leader on a mission to help AI businesses win clients, convert sales, and scale operations to maximize cash flow and valuation.
