What a difference a year makes: At the Women in AI breakfast that kicked off VentureBeat Transform 2023 in San Francisco this morning, Mastercard chief data officer JoAnn Stonier said that right now generative AI in the enterprise is like the Oscar-winning movie — Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. That’s a big shift from last July, when the same Women in AI discussion at Transform focused on predictive AI, governance, minimizing bias and model creation. “It was very much a company and organization-by-organization sport,” said Stonier, who was also on the 2022 panel. But now, instead of looking at generative AI from a risk perspective, everyone began to have FOMO, she explained — fear of missing out and being left behind.
