Techstrong.ai, Monday, November 13,2023
Synopsis: In this AI Leadership Insights video interview, Mike Vizard speaks with Jonathan Ellis, CTO for DataStax, about vector databases and AI.
Mike Vizard: Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Techstrong.ai video series. I'm your host, Mike Vizard. Today, we're with Jonathan Ellis, who's CTO for DataStax. We're talking about databases, vector databases, AI, Cassandra, and how it all comes together. Jonathan, welcome to show.
Jonathan Ellis: Thanks for having me on, Mike.
Mike Vizard: It seems like everywhere you turn, everybody's talking about AI, but I think they're kind of overlooking this whole vector database category and what's involved in that and what it takes to update and train some of these AI models. So I know that Cassandra has added some vector capabilities and it was kind of a rush, but walk us through why this matters and what are the challenges with setting this all up?
