Businesses are hiring vast data teams, but unfortunately, most projects stay in experiment mode, off-production mode or if they ever go to production, they’re rarely trusted by the business due to the diffusion of responsibility that usually occurs in the process. adoption is everything when it comes to the success of AI” said CEO of Synapse Analytics, Ahmed Abaza.
