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!
Because they’re clearly looking for a way to appear to be doing the job without having to do the job.
There’s no way this forum can help with this question without knowing a lot more about the company, what they do, what they want/need, etc.
If they truly are looking for help from this forum of ignorant strangers then they’re an idiot and should just be fired anyway.
Glad I don’t work with you.
