Databricks chief says AI’s real problem is context

Ali Ghodsi argues today's models are already capable of automating far more work than most enterprises are actually using them for.

Databricks co-founder and chief executive Ali Ghodsi joins Andreessen Horowitz general partners Martin Casado and Sarah Wang to argue that superintelligence anxiety is crowding out a nearer problem: enterprises are nowhere near using AI up to its current capability.

His explanation is context. Models have not sat in the meetings where decisions get made and lack the institutional knowledge long-serving staff accumulate, which is why Ghodsi says building an organisational ontology matters. The group also weighs what would count as real recursive self-improvement, and why AI-powered cyberattacks are the more immediate risk.
