00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:43.990 align:start position:0%
what I take away from the past few
years.<00:00:41.520><c> So</c><00:00:41.760><c> AI</c><00:00:42.239><c> by</c><00:00:42.559><c> nature</c><00:00:43.040><c> is</c><00:00:43.600><c> very</c>

00:00:43.990 --> 00:00:44.000 align:start position:0%

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.549 align:start position:0%
years. So AI by nature is very
non-deterministic.<00:00:45.200><c> So</c><00:00:45.440><c> I</c><00:00:45.680><c> think</c><00:00:45.840><c> the</c><00:00:46.160><c> real</c>

00:00:46.549 --> 00:00:46.559 align:start position:0%
non-deterministic. So I think the real
 

00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:49.510 align:start position:0%
non-deterministic. So I think the real
challenge<00:00:46.960><c> in</c><00:00:47.200><c> today's</c><00:00:47.600><c> AI</c><00:00:47.920><c> ecosystem</c><00:00:49.039><c> is</c>

00:00:49.510 --> 00:00:49.520 align:start position:0%
challenge in today's AI ecosystem is
 

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.470 align:start position:0%
challenge in today's AI ecosystem is
building<00:00:49.920><c> systems</c><00:00:50.320><c> in</c><00:00:50.559><c> production</c><00:00:51.280><c> that</c><00:00:52.320><c> uh</c>

00:00:52.470 --> 00:00:52.480 align:start position:0%
building systems in production that uh
 

00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:54.549 align:start position:0%
building systems in production that uh

00:00:54.549 --> 00:00:54.559 align:start position:0%
produce results relatively uh
 

00:00:54.559 --> 00:00:57.430 align:start position:0%

00:00:57.430 --> 00:00:57.440 align:start position:0%

00:00:57.440 --> 00:00:59.910 align:start position:0%
consistently and reliably and graceful

00:00:59.910 --> 00:00:59.920 align:start position:0%
handling of failures and I think a lot
 

00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:01.910 align:start position:0%
handling of failures and I think a lot
of<00:01:00.000><c> engineering</c><00:01:00.480><c> work</c><00:01:00.640><c> is</c><00:01:00.879><c> needed</c><00:01:01.120><c> in</c><00:01:01.280><c> any</c><00:01:01.520><c> AI</c>

00:01:01.910 --> 00:01:01.920 align:start position:0%
of engineering work is needed in any AI
 

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.229 align:start position:0%
of engineering work is needed in any AI
system.<00:01:02.559><c> So</c><00:01:03.199><c> reliability</c><00:01:03.760><c> means</c><00:01:04.000><c> a</c>

00:01:04.229 --> 00:01:04.239 align:start position:0%
system. So reliability means a
 

00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.230 align:start position:0%
system. So reliability means a
combination<00:01:04.559><c> of</c><00:01:04.720><c> all</c><00:01:04.879><c> these</c><00:01:05.119><c> factors</c><00:01:05.840><c> so</c><00:01:06.000><c> that</c>

00:01:06.230 --> 00:01:06.240 align:start position:0%
combination of all these factors so that
 

00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:08.630 align:start position:0%
combination of all these factors so that
systems<00:01:06.640><c> run</c><00:01:06.880><c> smoothly</c><00:01:07.280><c> in</c><00:01:07.439><c> production.</c><00:01:08.320><c> So</c><00:01:08.479><c> I</c>

00:01:08.630 --> 00:01:08.640 align:start position:0%
systems run smoothly in production. So I
 

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:10.789 align:start position:0%
systems run smoothly in production. So I
think<00:01:08.720><c> there's</c><00:01:09.040><c> a</c><00:01:09.280><c> lot</c><00:01:09.360><c> of</c><00:01:09.600><c> need</c><00:01:09.840><c> for</c><00:01:10.560><c> good</c>

00:01:10.789 --> 00:01:10.799 align:start position:0%
think there's a lot of need for good
 

00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:14.070 align:start position:0%
think there's a lot of need for good

00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.429 align:start position:0%

as<00:01:28.880><c> we</c><00:01:29.119><c> speak</c><00:01:29.759><c> and</c><00:01:30.080><c> I</c><00:01:30.320><c> think</c><00:01:30.400><c> the</c><00:01:30.720><c> ecosystem</c><00:01:31.200><c> is</c>

00:01:31.429 --> 00:01:31.439 align:start position:0%
as we speak and I think the ecosystem is
 

00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:33.350 align:start position:0%
as we speak and I think the ecosystem is
actually<00:01:31.600><c> really</c><00:01:32.320><c> evolving</c><00:01:32.720><c> very</c><00:01:32.960><c> rapidly.</c>

00:01:33.350 --> 00:01:33.360 align:start position:0%
actually really evolving very rapidly.
 

00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:34.469 align:start position:0%
actually really evolving very rapidly.
So<00:01:33.439><c> I</c><00:01:33.600><c> think</c><00:01:33.680><c> the</c><00:01:33.840><c> community</c><00:01:34.000><c> is</c><00:01:34.240><c> also</c>

00:01:34.469 --> 00:01:34.479 align:start position:0%
So I think the community is also
 

00:01:34.479 --> 00:01:36.469 align:start position:0%
So I think the community is also
learning<00:01:34.880><c> these</c><00:01:35.280><c> concepts</c><00:01:35.680><c> as</c><00:01:35.920><c> they</c><00:01:36.159><c> build</c>

00:01:36.469 --> 00:01:36.479 align:start position:0%
learning these concepts as they build
 

00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:38.630 align:start position:0%
learning these concepts as they build
along<00:01:36.720><c> these</c><00:01:36.960><c> lines.</c><00:01:37.759><c> So</c><00:01:37.920><c> I</c><00:01:38.079><c> think</c><00:01:38.159><c> the</c><00:01:38.320><c> AI</c>

00:01:38.630 --> 00:01:38.640 align:start position:0%
along these lines. So I think the AI
 

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.429 align:start position:0%
along these lines. So I think the AI
stack<00:01:38.880><c> is</c><00:01:39.119><c> going</c><00:01:39.280><c> to</c><00:01:39.520><c> rely</c><00:01:39.920><c> on</c><00:01:40.560><c> many</c><00:01:41.040><c> open</c>

00:01:41.429 --> 00:01:41.439 align:start position:0%

00:01:43.749 --> 00:01:43.759 align:start position:0%

00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:46.469 align:start position:0%
formats. I think format specifications

00:01:58.789 --> 00:01:58.799 align:start position:0%
data at a breakneck pace. So I think
 

00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:00.469 align:start position:0%
data at a breakneck pace. So I think
there's<00:01:59.040><c> going</c><00:01:59.119><c> to</c><00:01:59.200><c> be</c><00:01:59.280><c> a</c><00:01:59.439><c> lot</c><00:01:59.520><c> of</c><00:01:59.600><c> innovation</c>

there's going to be a lot of innovation
 

00:02:00.479 --> 00:02:03.190 align:start position:0%
