Welcome to the Time for AI Podcast, where we engage with leading AI conference speakers to distill their insights into concise episodes. In this episode, I welcomee Philip Keren, Director of Developer Relations at Elastic, to discuss the evolution of search and information retrieval in the age of AI. Philip delves into Elastic's pioneering tools like Elasticsearch and Kibana, explaining how they address search challenges in logs, observability data, and security through effective information retrieval techniques. While the AI buzz brings new attention and investment to search technologies, Philip emphasizes the importance of leveraging traditional keyword search and newer vector search methods to enhance retrieval processes. Join us as we explore the dynamic role AI plays in search, the potential challenges in adopting AI indiscriminately, and practical ways businesses can integrate Elastic's solutions into their workflows. Discover how Elastic continues to innovate and future-proof search solutions in a rapidly evolving tech landscape. You can find Philipp at xeraa.net or on Linkedin.
