The evolving field of AI/ML has often been mistaken for a separate ecosystem within the software development space. This talk aims to uncover both the similarities and differences between AI/ML and traditional software development processes. It explores the various components that constitute a production-ready AI pipeline, from understanding the business problem and architecting a solution, to development, testing, and ultimately, integration of the new feature, alongside the tools used for the job. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of both processes and recognize where and how AI can be a new tool in their repertoire.
