The Rise Of The AI Engineer: Condensing The Stack For The Next Wave Of AI Apps
Techstrong.ai, Wednesday, December 4th, 2024
Want to build an AI app? Of course you do. Everyone does, and it's changing the way the engineering world works. For a long time, companies needed teams of experts in machine learning to build AI apps.
Now, they can hand it off to just a few people. A process that once required custom models developed by sophisticated data science teams has been condensed into an API. Like any advancement in technology, it brings some good and bad to the engineering space. Today's APIs make it easy for AI engineers to create AI apps with advanced features no matter their level of expertise. But it also means they need a different skill set to stand out in their space.
AI engineers must now consider different challenges, such as how people will interact with AI apps and how to increase the consistency and accuracy of the results their apps produce. But they're not alone in this. They also need help from the companies that are providing them with tools.
