ANNOUNCEMENTS
Episode 6 is Out Now
We officially launched our podcast AI or Die - a Podcast on the latest trends, news, and great debate over AI. We'll dive into AI-related topics and what's going on in the news.
Welcome back, episode 6, we are joined by Michael Cavaretta. Michael is currently an Analytics Executive in Manufacturing at Ford Motors, using artificial intelligence, machine learning, data visualization and other analytic technologies to improve safety, quality, delivery, cost, people and maintenance in all areas of the Ford production system. On this week's episode, we discuss with Mike how Ford Motors is addressing how to achieve business outcomes from implementing MLOps within the organization. We also talk in a broader context about how to scale MLOps in an organization and deliver capabilities that incorporate models into a critical operation.
We Chat:
- Software as a service (SaaS) Takeoff: How it propelled the technology industry forward.
- How long has MLOps been around?
- Centralized vs. Decentralized Architecture and Models.
- Scaling MLOps is technical, but bringing it back to the business is crucial.
- Creating a command center within your organization.
- The scares, excitements and opportunities for development in data, analytics and AI.
- The intersection between product ownership and how to scale MLOps.

The conference had over 50 speakers and 1,300 attendees, where this year’s theme focused heavily on data as a product.
We were so excited to be a sponsor for this event. The two-day conference flew by, but we made sure to get some great photos to share with you all.
Also, we could not think of a better way to celebrate the recent partnership between BurtchWorks & AlignAI than sharing a booth at the conference!
