Episode notes

This episode continues the conversation with Jason Corso - Professor of Robotics and EECS at University of Michigan and Co-Founder/Chief Science Officer at Voxel51 - a Series A AI software company that enables machine learning and computer vision scientists to rapidly curate and experiment with their datasets in order to build higher performing machine learning systems.

AI platforms have been a game changer for productivity and mapping, but it’s not yet at the level of flexibility that would eliminate most of the grunt work. Eric and Jason speak on how they’d like to see AI platforms collaborate and get to a point where they not only map out your tasks, but also do a lot of the preliminary work - just like an assistant would.

Generalized and personalized AI assistants are the next big step that would vastly increase the value that executives get from utilizing AI in their daily workflow. Eric speaks on how he’s currently using ChatGPT to some level of success, but also mentions something we’ve all felt - the need for a system that compartmentalizes workflows, remembers information and draws custom next steps from previously established context.

Everyone’s excited for what’s next for generative AI. Even though closed models are currently performing better than open-source, this situation will most likely change with time as more tools become available. Jason breaks down annotation strategies and speaks on how the idea of just taking data and training your own models might not be the most efficient way to drive innovation as an AI startup. There’s a lot of work in understanding how to create good datasets, which is something that most companies are missing.
