| Cheap AI raises the cost of bad judgment |
![]() |
| AI makes software easier to create, but the harder and more valuable challenge is controlling what gets built, proving that it works, and managing it over time. |
| In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Florian Douetteau, CEO and co-founder of Dataiku, to explore how large organizations can turn AI agents from impressive demos into safe, maintainable systems that deliver measurable business results. |
Cheap AI raises the cost of bad judgment |
| Douetteau explains why enterprise AI models are becoming commoditized, why companies may buy 90% of their agents but build the 10% that differentiates their business, and why the emerging discipline of “agent management” will be essential. He also breaks down the dilemma facing CEOs: move too slowly and competitors may gain a structural cost advantage; move too quickly without control and one major AI failure could create a crisis. |
| Topics covered: |
| Why the cost of creating with AI is falling toward zero Where value will accrue as models commoditize How to balance openness, innovation and enterprise control Why subject-matter experts must retain ownership of AI agents Why business problems, not perfect data, should drive data strategy How enterprises can prioritize transformative AI use cases without stifling experimentation The three qualities Dataiku now values most when hiring How leaders can use AI without falling into cognitive laziness |
| If you’re trying to move enterprise AI beyond pilots, govern a growing portfolio of agents or understand where durable value will emerge as AI creation becomes cheaper, this conversation offers a practical framework for building quickly without losing control. |
