Domain expertise
I have a decade of experience in Payments and Finance and in Startups, especially on both B2B and B2C fronts. My years of hands-on experience have provided me with insights and an understanding of industry intricacies, something that AI needs to improve.
Creativity and Innovation
I enjoy thinking creatively, suggesting inventive solutions, and making connections. I've completed several projects where I've showcased these skills.
Problem Definition
I have experienced defining and understanding the problem, which is crucial in my professional journey. I can understand business goals, identify relevant questions, and decide what problems are worth solving that AI cannot solve.
Handling Ambiguity
AI models cannot handle ambiguity and uncertainty. I can deal very well with incomplete or conflicting information, use intuition, and judge when data or requirement is unclear and ambiguous.
Communication Skills
I excel in simplifying technical stuff to non-technical audiences through examples and storytelling. Interpreting complex or non-linear model results and explaining them in a business context is challenging. While AI can produce results, conveying and delivering them to audiences is something that AI cannot do.
Handling biases and ethical considerations
Choosing an ethical path, understanding the implications of biased data, and ensuring fairness in tasks involving human judgment and considerations beyond technical aspects. In a world where businesses increasingly lean heavily on AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, understanding their decision-making behaviours is paramount. Research by a professor from INSEAD unveiled the findings on behavioural biases in ChatGPT and how it perceives risks differently than humans.
Technical skillset
Designing and implementing an A/B test involves practical considerations and integration with systems that are beyond the capabilities of an AI model.
