Making AI Useful

An invited lecture for Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence students on what happens after an AI demo works: choosing the right problem, designing around real constraints, and building systems through specifications and architecture.

  • Choosing useful AI problems
  • Production AI receptionist demo
  • Spec-driven development
  • Human-owned architecture

Hosted by Rodolfo Capdevilla. The discussion also explored how AI will replace some jobs, upgrade others, and create new roles closer to the problem being solved.
