why aren't all 8 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable

Clark: Production generative AI adoption will drive dedicated AI ops teams
“I think as we see the rise of these gen AI platforms, we're going to see the rise of more AI ops, the people who have to make sure the system's working and understand when it isn't and then fix it.”

Clark: AI will continue to require supervised learning alongside unsupervised paradigms
“I think there's going to be need for all of it, to be honest. When it comes down to solving a very specific business problem like fraud detection, you don't want the algorithm to learn on its own. Just let a lot of fraud through as you slowly come up with an i…”

Clark: Generative shadow AI exposes intellectual property to external SaaS vendors
“And it was a somewhat localized problem because like you're doing data science on your laptop versus now I'm just shipping off secret IP to some SaaS company or something like that.”

Clark: Enterprises are moving from generative AI prototypes to centralized platforms
“One thing that we've seen that's really interesting over the last year, year and a half is people have started to shift from kind of science project prototype land where they have a bunch of individual teams trying to roll their own stack and trying to like bu…”
