Full Stack Engineer

Today, many operational decisions in companies are still based on human judgement, while there is a big push to become data-driven. The early AI-adopters have experimented with pure-play Artificial Intelligence to support decision taking. Unfortunately, this seems to be not that easy as 85% of these AI-projects failed to deliver. Important reasons are that the project didn’t start from the business goal but from the data, that lots of business expertise was not represented in the data used to train the AI models, that there was a lack of human validation in the loop to take the final decision, there was insufficient support by the business due to a lack of transparency & business validation and finally many AI solutions didn’t leave the ‘lab’ as it proved too hard to scale from prototype to a real production implementation. Summarized, pure AI to drive business decisions is insufficient and companies are confronted with three main challenges to make AI projects successful. The first one is the Alignment between business, (AI) analysts and IT (Devops). The second one is the need to bring Human & AI together to make better decisions. The third one is the need to manage Wisdom as a company asset, to turn feedback and knowledge scattered throughout the organisation into reusable and manageable assets to improve the decision taking.

Our Decision Intelligence platform brings an answer to these three main challenges and is complementary to the major AI technology platforms like Microsoft, Google and Amazon. We help international companies to onboard our ‘Buddies’ (Decision Intelligence Apps build on top of our Platform) as their first AI + Human platform. This will offer them strategic advantages towards their competitors
