Let's learn more about AI from Saritha:

1. Share your AI origin story

   
   

   I was fascinated when ChatGPT was released. For the first time, we were able to leverage the model for enhancing our written communication! As there was more and more innovation in the AI space, I went from leveraging AI to enhance productivity to using AI for efficiencies in business processes.

   
   

   The pivotal moment has been when autonomous AI was introduced. Agentic AI has been a gamechanger in automation!

   
   

2. What AI tools have been most game changing for you?  

   
   

   Perplexity, Cursor.ai, Make.ai

   
   

3. If you were just starting your AI journey today where would you start?

   
   

   I would start by building knowledge in Models, engage in hands-on projects especially in ML Projects, specialize and use various AI Tools, and follow AI blogs, podcasts and research papers. This would be well rounded approach to not only use AI but also design and build AI Systems.
