Maybe some devs here can help me, I was recently promoted to “head of AI” at my work despite being very outwardly ambivalent towards it. So I’m struggling to figure out what would actually create value instead of just being an expensive waste of time but still satisfy the higher ups AI lust.
My first idea that I thought would actually be useful was just setting up the architecture for an actual analytics database for us and then let them explore it with metabase (then letting them use Claude for their wow factor of exploring it with AI or whatever).
But now I’m somewhat at a loss, so any insight you all have would be really helpful!
Damn, I’m in the same boat. I didn’t attend one meeting because ut was too late in My timezone and the others chose this moment to vote me to become the lead of the AI acceleration initiative where we have half a year to come up with and implement things on each step from requirements, through architecture and development to testing on all levels.
And yeah we better come up with something useful because I already know they have to reduce the work force because there is no money and the people who will be left can’t do all of it alone without help.
