Decision Makers Guide to Microsoft Fabric - Microsoft Fabric and Generative AI

In this interview, Tom Peplow, Principal & Senior Director of Product Strategy at Milliman, talks about the relationship between Microsoft Fabric and AI. He believes that AI is going to revolutionize the future of business and that it is up to IT leaders to help organizations leverage the power of AI tools to better serve their customers.

He emphasizes that people inside the organization will be ten times more effective at their jobs with access to AI-powered tools.

Moreover, he acknowledges the current skill gap in AI, but he is optimistic that this will get easier as technology matures. In the talk, he suggests that IT leaders be proactive in helping their organizations leverage AI's power to better serve their customers.
