Ep 7 | Going Beyond Proof of Concept in AI with Oguzhan Gencoglu, Founder & Head of AI at Top Data Science

In Episode 7 of Driven by Data: The Podcast, Kyle Winterbottom is joined by Oguzhan Gencoglu, Head of AI at Top Data Science, (a Data Science Consultancy that is ranked as one of the best Artificial Intelligence consultancies in Finland) where they talk about how to go beyond the proof of concept cycle with Artificial Intelligence.

Oguzhan has given over 40 "talks" on the subject of AI, has numerous publications and has delivered over 60 AI solutions into production, and he shared the key considerations of productionising AI, which includes:

  • How FOMO is a driver behind many AI projects
  • The importance of how data is collected
  • How to check the pulse of commitment within the business
  • Why "top down" commitment is key
  • How the cost implications are more than just the implementation cost
  • Why POC failure is a good thing
  • How to build a production level solution even in a disparate environment
  • Why most POC's are successful but rarely make it to production
  • Why you need more than just Data Scientists & ML Engineers
  • How mindset and culture determine success

Profile picture for Kyle Winterbottom

Kyle Winterbottom

Founder of Orbition Group, a Search and Talent Solutions business that operates exclusively within the world of Data, Analytics & AI.

I am hugely passionate about enabling organisations to drive decisions and obtain value from the use of Data, Analytics & Artificial Intelligence.

As such, I believe it is imperative that as a community, we share; knowledge, ideas, real-life use cases and inspiration to collectively give back to our industry.

Given my fortunate position of speaking with hundreds, if not thousands of leadership figures within the global Data & Analytics community each year , I feel it is my duty to share the successes, failures, challenges and opportunities.

Therefore, I have positioned Orbition Group to be a facilitator of that knowledge sharing, through these podcasts, events we host and public speaking.
