If anything, 2023 has proved to be a year of reckoning for businesses, and IT leaders in particular, as they attempt to come to grips with the disruptive potential of this technology — just as debates over the best path forward for AI have accelerated and regulatory uncertainty has cast a longer shadow over its outlook in the wake of these events.

As vendors add generative AI to their enterprise software offerings, and as employees test out the tech, CIOs must advise their colleagues on the pros and cons of gen AI’s use as well as the potential consequences of banning or limiting it. How has, say, ChatGPT hit your business model?” How is your business impacted by generative AI?

by AMIR NAJMI & MUKUND SUNDARARAJAN Data science is about decision making under uncertainty. Some of that uncertainty is the result of statistical inference, i.e., using a finite sample of observations for estimation. But there are other kinds of uncertainty, at least as important, that are not statistical in nature.

Unlike experimentation in some other areas, LSOS experiments present a surprising challenge to statisticians — even though we operate in the realm of “big data”, the statistical uncertainty in our experiments can be substantial. We must therefore maintain statistical rigor in quantifying experimental uncertainty.

Sometimes, we escape the clutches of this sub optimal existence and do pick good metrics or engage in simple A/B testing. Let's listen in as Alistair discusses the lean analytics model… The Lean Analytics Cycle is a simple, four-step process that shows you how to improve a part of your business. Testing out a new feature.

Another reason to use ramp-up is to test if a website's infrastructure can handle deploying a new arm to all of its users. The website wants to make sure they have the infrastructure to handle the feature while testing if engagement increases enough to justify the infrastructure. We offer two examples where this may be the case.

How can enterprises attain these in the face of uncertainty? Rogers: This is one of two fundamental challenges of corporate innovation — managing innovation under high uncertainty and managing innovation far from the core — that I have studied in my work advising companies and try to tackle in my new book The Digital Transformation Roadmap.

In my book, I introduce the Technical Maturity Model: I define technical maturity as a combination of three factors at a given point of time. Technical competence results in reduced risk and uncertainty. Outputs from trained AI models include numbers (continuous or discrete), categories or classes (e.g.,

This has prompted AI/ML model owners to retrain their legacy models using data from the post-COVID era, while adapting to continually fluctuating market trends and thinking creatively about forecasting. In the last few years, businesses have experienced disruptions and uncertainty on an unprecedented scale.

by MICHAEL FORTE Large-scale live experimentation is a big part of online product development. This means a small and growing product has to use experimentation differently and very carefully. This blog post is about experimentation in this regime. Such decisions involve an actual hypothesis test on specific metrics (e.g.

Recall from my previous blog post that all financial models are at the mercy of the Trinity of Errors , namely: errors in model specifications, errors in model parameter estimates, and errors resulting from the failure of a model to adapt to structural changes in its environment.

The beliefs of this community are always evolving, and the process of thoughtfully generating, testing, refuting and accepting ideas looks a lot like Science. It is important to make clear distinctions among each of these, and to advance the state of knowledge through concerted observation, modeling and experimentation.
