Experimenting with AI can help you find ways to make your business work better however, it's not without it's drawbacks. Knowing its limitations is essential, particularly if you’re asking it to do work you need to rely on.
Dave Pengelley, a technology adviser who spent a decade at Salesforce and now runs Valid Agenda, joins Charly to talk about what he's doing with AI and what he's learned along the way. There’s plenty of enthusiasm, some frustration and a shared interest in finding uses that deliver something worthwhile.
