Static ML systems rely on pretrained models that are embedded in products and remain fixed throughout their operational life. Although this represents an important first step toward intelligence, such models are inherently limited. They can’t adapt when the context changes, when user behavior evolves or when operating conditions drift. The next stage in the evolution … Read more
Interestingly, in the companies I work with, there’s still some hesitation to include machine learning models in products. This is especially the case when there’s some form of safety certification associated with the product; we don’t always know how to ensure that the ML models won’t jeopardize critical product characteristics. That said, we need to … Read more
In this series on the AI-driven company, we’ve discussed the challenges that companies experience in becoming more AI-driven as well as the implications for business processes and for product R&D. The general pattern is that AI starts off as support for and augmentation of humans and, over time, becomes the main executor, with humans taking … Read more
In this series, we’ve explored the journey toward the AI-driven company. First, we looked at the business process view and recently, we’ve focused on the R&D process. Here, we see an evolution from AI assistants to compensators, superchargers and finally system generators. Each stage represents a deeper integration of AI into how we design, build … Read more
