In his presentation, Jeremy will delve into the challenges faced in ML Ops, including models not making it into production, manual and one-off work, lack of reusable and reproducible components, poor handoffs between data scientists and IT, models breaking due to failure to adapt to changes in the environment, lost effort and return on investment, as well as regulatory and governance pressures. Drawing from his expertise, Jeremy will provide practical insights and best practices to overcome these challenges and discuss the future direction of Generative AI.
