Language Stacks and Gen AI

Python is the language of data science and dominant in AI research. However, it is not the language of enterprise apps, and there are good reasons for this. In this session, Rod will discuss when to use what language and stack for AI success in enterprise. He’ll discuss the key adjacencies for success: LLMs, existing data and business logic, and how to choose what language, stack and framework for a particular problem.
