What if the most valuable data in your enterprise—the key to your AI future—is sitting dormant in your backups, treated like an insurance policy you hope to never use?Join Conor Bronsdon with Greg Statton, VP of AI Solutions at Cohesity, for an inside look at how they are turning this passive data into an active asset to power generative AI applications. Greg details Cohesity’s evolution from an infinitely scalable file system built for backups into a data intelligence powerhouse, managing hundreds of exabytes of enterprise data globally. He recounts how early successes in using this data for security and anomaly detection paved the way for more advanced AI applications. This foundational work was crucial in preparing Cohesity to meet the new demands of generative AI.Greg offers a candid look at the real-world challenges enterprises face, arguing that establishing data hygiene and a cross-functional governance model is the most critical step before building reliable AI applications. He shares the compelling story of how Cohesity's focus on generative AI was sparked by an internal RAG experiment he built to solve a "semantic divide" in team communication, which quickly grew into a company-wide initiative. He also provides essential advice for data professionals, emphasizing the need to focus on solving core business problems.Chapters:00:00 Introduction00:36 The Role of Gaming in AI Development05:43 Personal Gaming Experiences08:26 The Intersection of AI and Gaming12:53 Importance of Data in Game Development19:03 User Testing and QA in Gaming25:49 Postmortems and Telemetry27:21 Beta Testing and Data Preparedness29:18 Traditional AI vs Generative AI31:31 Challenges of Implementing AI in Games35:57 Leveraging AI for Data Analytics39:41 Automated QA and Reinforcement Learning42:01 AI for Localization and Sentiment Analysis44:21 Future of AI in GamingFollow the hostsFollow AtinFollow ConorFollow VikramFollow YashFollow Today's Guest(s)Company Website: cohesity.comLinkedIn: Gregory StattonCheck out GalileoTry GalileoAgent Leaderboard
