AI Platform Engineering: Patrick Debois

The podcast explores the organizational impact and implementation of GenAI, particularly focusing on the roles of AI engineers and platform teams. It addresses the friction between data science teams and traditional application developers when integrating GenAI into production, advocating for a platform approach to provide services like model access, vector databases, and version control. The discussion highlights the importance of enablement through prototyping tools, frameworks, and secure data access, while cautioning against pitfalls such as over-emphasis on model training and neglecting end-user feedback. It further examines the changing role of developers using AI, from producers to managers, and the need for governance and awareness programs to address issues like data leakage and prompt injection.
