My general pet peeve is that Gen AI is not framed for what is currently is: a tool that fits some needs well, but falls short in others. The benefits of AI are often painted with a broad brush while its value needs to be measured use case by use case.

2 things - shiny object syndrome vs tangible business value and ROI (note, the latter does exist) / Too much focus on GenAI to solve all problems when the reality is it has a great role to play, but so does traditional AI, data analytics, business intelligence etc. Some of the strongest use cases I've worked on have been a combination of GenAI to query traditional ML/deep learning.

It frustrates me the way that people think GenAI can solve all kinds of problems. It can be great for throwing some words on the page, or summarising content, but that doesn't mean GenAI will solve your scheduling issues or actually create a useful policy. We're going to need a range of solutions and humans for that.

We are studying to build new thermoelectric power generators. As the CIO I’d like to influence this process (it has not initiated yet), by unifying operational data in order to: 1) increase the automatization of the plant - and reduce costs; 2) have this data available for further utilization (AI, Analytics, etc). One of the main barriers is that a thermoelectric has several pieces of equipment and each one has different software (and data) stack.

How can we work with this challenge ? Does anyone have any insights/experience with that?
