What AI Can't Do (Yet)...

In this week's episode we host John Lamb, Solutions Lead AI & Analytics at TietoEvry. John emphasises that while tools like LLMs are useful for automating repetitive tasks such as code generation or data prep, they fall short when it comes to reasoning and interpreting structured data. He explains that data cleaning still dominates much of a data scientist's time and that current AI tools, though helpful, cannot yet be trusted for end-to-end analysis.

John also discusses why he believes AGI is still years away, requiring a fundamental shift in technology, and shares practical advice for using AI responsibly, underscoring the importance of human judgment in any AI-driven workflow.
