Episode description

At most traditional enterprises, GenAI got handed to the ML platform team because it had AI in the name. Phil Hetzel from Braintrust argues that was the wrong move, not because data scientists lack value, but because Anthropic and OpenAI already ran the data pipeline. What is left is prompt and context engineering, distributed systems, human annotation, and functional evaluation across a much broader surface area than precision and recall. The mistake is isolating it to one team. The answer is a diverse one. Speaker info: - https://www.linkedin.com/in/philliphetzel
