Analytics Everywhere #8: Avi Press of Scarf

We'll be exploring how the Apache Superset project (and Preset) have been making moves toward AI/LLM features, what SIPs are open on this topic, and what we consider to be the path for AI in BI as a generalized practice, as an extension to this blog post.

As a corollary to Max's new blog post, "AI in BI: The Path to Full Self Drive", this episode is a bit of.... an experiment. It explores how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing business intelligence (BI), from accelerating data analysis and surfacing key insights to enabling predictive models and automating decision-making. AI is changing how organizations interact with their data, and this episode highlights emerging trends in AI-driven BI tools, the shift away from manual dashboards, and how natural language interfaces are making data more accessible than ever. Whether you're in data, leadership, or just AI-curious, this episode offers a forward-looking glimpse into the future of analytics.
