About this episode
Jonathan Harris examines the gap between AI claims and real-world results in retail and conservation efforts.
What matters is the gap between AI claims and real-world results. Jonathan Harris examines how AI models behave outside the lab, from conservation efforts to retail AI demand forecasting. We look at the practicalities of edge AI, the trade-offs in smart retail, and why governance and honest reporting are crucial. This week, the focus is on what works, not just what’s announced.
