Episode 104: [Value Boost] The Four Zones of AI Productivity for Data Scientists
AI can get you to 60% of a finished output in minutes. But getting from 60% to 100% - the part where real insight lives - is where human expertise becomes the deciding factor. And the more expertise you bring, the further AI can take you.
