Quote from the show:

"The biggest challenge is really to define your use case. What do you actually want to get out of AI? And when you have a very crisp definition of that, then it's much easier to actually make it work. But if you just say, oh, I want to use AI because everybody's using AI and it's a hot topic, then it's not going to help you much." - Alex Gurbych
