Generative AI in the Enterprise

Today, Zach interviews LinkedIn Top Voice and Digital Transformation Strategist, Jeff Winter. From the beginning, Jeff's career has centered around manufacturing, with his latest focus being on Industry 4.0. You may have heard the buzz words, but do you know what Industry 4.0 and Digital Transformation really are? Zach and Jeff dive head first into these concepts, explaining their unique meanings and implications on the business world. The fourth industrial revolution is here. Let's embrace it together. Key Takeaways for Quick Consumption: Generative AI is revolutionizing industries by enhancing efficiency and reducing costs. Its applications span across sectors, impacting every role from frontline workers to CEOs. Use Generative AI to complement and enhance existing skills rather than replace them. This approach boosts productivity and effectiveness, allowing professionals to save time and improve the quality of their work. The rapid adoption of Generative AI, exemplified by tools like ChatGPT, marks a significant shift. Its integration into everyday tasks and business processes is becoming ubiquitous, demonstrating its profound potential and versatility.

About Jeff: Jeff Winter's passion is helping manufacturers digitally transform in innovative ways through Industry 4.0 technologies. Doing so requires a unique ability to bridge the gap between business strategy, industry trends, technology implementation, and change management. Jeff enjoys building collaborative relationships with clients, partners, coworkers, and industry evangelists to help empower manufacturers to achieve more. As the Industry strategy leader for manufacturing for Hitachi Solutions, he focuses on helping companies that build “things” (discrete manufacturers) or “stuff” (continuous/process manufacturers) digitally transform.  Jeff on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffreyrwinter/

Doug Thompson, Chief Education Architect at Tanium, joins Zach on the pod today. As a self-titled nerd, Doug has always been curious about technology, and he loves teaching almost as much as he loves tech. He combined these passions early in his career at Microsoft, where part of his job as a pre-sales engineer was educating clients about Generative AI (really just Machine Learning at the time). Now at Tanium, Doug has a unique platform to evangelize Gen AI and educate users about the potential benefits and pitfalls. He believes strongly that Gen AI will never take the place of the human workforce, but even still, developers and workers from all industries should spend the time AI saves to grow their skillsets. Anything that AI produces needs some "seasoning" (a human touch), and Doug hopes we don't become lazy and lose that hard work and effort no matter how far AI can take us.

Welcome back to GenAI in the Enterprise with Zach Gardner! Today, we host Principal Consultant, Michael Eaton. Michael got his first computer right out of high school, and the problem-solving of programming stuck. He's been working in the industry since 1995. At first, Michael was extremely skeptical of Generative AI and its place in programming and the world in general. However, using tools like Github Code Pilot began to change his mind. Now, he's a cautious user, utilizing GenAI as sort of a paired programmer. Zach and Michael talk more about where GenAI should (and shouldn't) fit into today's world. There's no denying it, it has a place in our future, but what should that look like?

Welcome back to GenAI in the Enterprise! Today, Zach talks with Caleb George, the Director of Training and Curriculum at Centriq. As someone who works in education (specifically training devs), Caleb says that at first, GenAI tools like ChatGPT caused a lot of fear and concern in his community. However, further research quickly revealed that Generative AI is not a replacement for human programmers, it's just another tool in the tool belt. GenAI isn't going to replace programming roles, but programmers who can effectively use GenAI will rapidly rise above and perhaps replace those who cannot.
