Writing in the age of generative artificial intelligence
bdtechtalks.comWhen it comes to identifying where generative AI can make an impact, we dig into challenges that commonly:
- Involve analysis, interpretation, or review of unstructured content (e.g. text) at scale
- Require massive scaling that may be otherwise prohibitive due to limited resources
- Would be challenging for rules-based or traditional ML approaches
Developing Rapidly with Generative AI
At the same time, we are continuing our investment into generative AI to drive efficiency gains across our business and deliver innovative customer and partner experiences. For example, we have rolled out AI-powered dish descriptions in 5 out of 8 markets at scale. Our experiments have shown a significant improvement in checkout rates from our long... See more
