From Intelligence to Autonomy - Building the Infrastructure for the AI Workforce by Lake Dai

AI is moving fast, from copilots that assist us to autonomous collaborators that can think, act, and improve on their own. This shift is bigger than a technology upgrade, it’s the beginning of an AI workforce, powered by a new kind of software infrastructure built for autonomy. To make it real, we need to rethink how data, reasoning, orchestration, and trust all come together to create systems that are not just intelligent, but reliable and self-evolving. In this talk, Lake Dai, Founder of Sancus Ventures and Adjunct Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, shares what she’s seeing from the frontlines, how the next generation of builders are turning today’s AI tools into tomorrow’s autonomous systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website and choose the nearest ODSC event to attend and experience all our training and workshops: https://odsc.ai To watch more videos like this, visit https://aiplus.training Sign up for the newsletter to stay up to date with the latest trends in data science: https://opendatascience.com/newsletter/ Follow us online! • Facebook:   / opendatasci   • Instagram:   / odsc   • Blog: https://opendatascience.com/ • LinkedIn:   / open-data-science   • X (twitter): https://x.com/_odsc
