DJ Das is the founder and CEO of ThirdEye Data, a company that transforms enterprises with AI applications. A serial and parallel entrepreneur, DJ is also an angel investor in various data-centric startups in Silicon Valley. As artificial intelligence becomes more advanced, previously cutting-edge — but generic — AI models are becoming commonplace, such as Google Cloud’s Vision AI or Amazon Rekognition. While effective in some use cases, these solutions do not suit industry-specific needs right out of the box. Organizations that seek the most accurate results from their AI projects will simply have to turn to industry-specific models. Any team looking to expand its AI capabilities should first apply its data and use cases to a generic model and assess the results.
