In this edition of the Early Adopter Research Podcast, Dan Woods speaks with Sri Ambati of H2O.ai, a data science and machine learning platform. One of the features of H2O.ai that makes it unique though is that it is based on open source. Woods and Ambati explore the implications of this, as well as a variety of other topics including:










Ambati's definition of what H2O.ai is right now

How H2O.ai is an umbrella platform for other algorithms

How H2O.ai is designed to augment and assist data scientists, not replace them

The task of balancing hype and hope with AI

How AI is as much a people challenge as technology one

How AI can help companies find and use data no one else has

Managing the ambitions of data scientists
