However, there is a learning curve to using the product, and users need to be well-versed in the subject matter to ask the right questions. Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi believes that data scientists will continue to be important as they can troubleshoot errors. The new product is another step in Databricks' quest to carve out a niche in the fast-moving AI arena.
Key takeaways:
- Databricks has announced a new product, the Data Intelligence Platform, which integrates technology from MosaicML, a company it acquired for $1.3 billion in June.
- The new product allows users to ask questions in plain English to get insights about the data, powered by MosaicML’s large language models.
- The product is being used by CEOs, executives, and doctors among others, enabling more people to do the kind of work that previously only data scientists could do.
- Despite the new product, there remains a learning curve to using it, and data scientists will still be needed to troubleshoot errors.
