In a thought-provoking session at Cypher 2023, Moumita Sarker from Deloitte discussed the importance of agile AI and how organizations can significantly reduce their time to market. The talk was a deep dive into the challenges and solutions for making AI real, valuable, and quickly implementable in various organizational settings.
The Lego Block Analogy
Moumita started her talk with a relatable analogy involving Lego blocks. She explained how her 10-year-old son efficiently uses pre-built Lego structures to speed up the creation of new designs. This concept, she argued, can be applied to AI solutions as well. By creating pre-built, modular AI components, organizations can significantly reduce the time it takes to implement and scale AI solutions.
The Need for Pre-Built Structures
The speaker emphasized that organizations often face challenges in implementing AI solutions due to the lack of standardization and modular components. She proposed that organizations should focus on creating 'pre-built structures' or 'Lego blocks' for AI solutions. These structures can be plug-and-play components that can be easily customized and scaled, thereby reducing the time to market.
