Explore a 27-minute conference talk from Data Council's 2025 Foundation Models series where Ravin Kumar, Senior Researcher at Google DeepMind, offers a grounded perspective on approaching large language models as practical tools rather than hype-driven technologies. Drawing from his extensive experience in product development, foundation model training, and daily generative AI usage, learn how to establish realistic expectations and build a practical foundation before diving into more advanced aspects of this transformative technology. This presentation is particularly valuable for practitioners new to generative AI or those seeking to develop a more pragmatic approach to implementing these powerful tools in their work.
