Ep 11: Lessons from Gen AI early adopters with Bain & Company's Partner Saikat Banerjee

Author: The Hindu August 24, 2024 Duration: 29:23
2023 was AI's breakout year. Just after ChatGPT landed on the scene, several companies sought to understand the nascent tech and test where they could deploy it in their business contexts. What followed then was a series of pilots and experiments. After testing for nearly a year, these early adopters seem to have a better understanding of Gen AI and where it works well in their lines of business.  In today's podcast, we will look into some of these use cases, learnings from pilots, and path ahead for Gen AI in business. Guest: Saikat Banerjee, Partner at Bain & Company. Host: John Xavier, Technology Editor, The Hindu Produced by Sharmada Venkatasubramanian.

John Xavier, the tech editor at The Hindu, hosts The Interface, a podcast that sits at the crossroads where emerging technologies meet daily life and global business. Rather than just reporting on the latest gadgets or software updates, the conversations here dig into the tangible effects of AI, automation, and robotics-how these forces are actively reshaping entire industries and, by extension, the choices we all face. Each episode is built on the premise that understanding the trajectory of tech is less about predicting the future and more about developing a flexible, informed mindset for the changes already underway. You’ll hear thoughtful analysis on the implications behind the headlines, exploring not just what is happening, but why it matters for policy, work, and society. This isn't a series of breathless hype cycles; it's a grounded guide from a seasoned editor, offering clarity on a dynamic landscape that often feels overwhelming. Tune in for a consistently insightful perspective that helps make sense of the rapid evolution happening just beyond the screen.
