CVS Health and Aible are Delivering Enterprise AI with Rapid Prototyping, Agents, and Reasoning Models - Ep. 261

Hello, and welcome to the NVIDIA AI podcast. I'm your host, Noah Kravitz. Our guests today have known and worked with one another for years and can speak to the ins and outs of enterprise technology, including developing AI applications from the perspective of brands, vendors, developers, customers, and probably most anyone else you can think of. Tony Ambrosi is senior vice president and chief digital and technology officer of pharmacy and consumer wellness for CVS Health, and Orijit Sengupta is founder and CEO of Able. Tony and Orijit are here to talk about developing AI apps at massive scale using DGX Cloud to do it and the current and future of generative AI, Genentech AI frameworks, and so much more. So I'm gonna get out of the way and introduce these two gentlemen to share some tales and drop some knowledge on us in the next half an hour. Tony, Urujeet, thank you so much for joining the AI podcast. Well, thank you for inviting us. So if you would, maybe we can start a little bit with your backgrounds and kind of how you've been working together forever. So I'll let you kind of start at the point that seems apt to get us into what CVS and Abel are doing now. So I'll I'll, I'll start.

I've been with the with CVS for, almost two years now, the same type of focus. And I think Arjith and I kind of bumped into each other 2016, 2017, I think, year. And then we saw that that it would be cool to do interesting things with this machine learning thing because we can transform a lot of make a lot of things better. At that time, I was with Disney, and, make a lot of things much better for consumers and and guests. And so, Arjji, where were you when you guys met? So I had, right before that, sold my previous AI company to Salesforce, where it became Salesforce Einstein Discovery. So I started to build BeyondCore, which, was one of the first augmented analytics companies on the planet and ended up having a crisis of faith. I was like, did I create value, or did I just make some money? Right? Right. So I ended up writing a book called AI is a waste of money, where I've taken a thousand AI projects, and I laid out why these projects fail. And one of the most common reasons was disconnect between the business user and data scientists. Mhmm. And this is where Tony and I always had this fun thing, which was …
