What’s a VP ?

[@aiDotEngineer]

Vice President, aka Senior Executive

[@ShaneHolloman]

why the social / authoritative exclusive mindset?

[@aiDotEngineer]

​@@ShaneHolloman Thanks for the feedback. For context, we had 10 tracks at our conference and this is from our Leadership Track, which is geared towards executives/VPs/CEOs/directors/other leaders responsible for making decisions for the AI Engineering org within their company. Of course this content can appeal to others as well, but being descriptive is important for us to quickly & effectively communicate the value of this event and its content to the intended audience. The Leadership track is a bit exclusionary, yes, but we see that as a feature and not a bug because we are operating downstream of the standard organizational hierarchy. For those who attend this track, they not only know that the speakers they hear will tailor the content to their level and address their problems/questions, but they also know that they will learn from the other attendees as well because they come from a similar background/level. So the dynamics of our content (and the marketing speak we employ) may be different from direct-to-yt content because it's not necessarily intended for a broad audience as some tracks will be niche. But we still release the talks for free on YT for anyone who is interested :) Feel free to reply here or email me with any other comments or questions.

@@aiDotEngineer Got it. I hear you and understand. From my perspective I cant imagine Vice Presidents are rolling their sleeves up and sweating over semantically chunking their company docs. lol. Hence me being baffled / irritated by the title

If a Vice President of AI in a company doesn't already know what RAG is then they ought not be a VP of AI.
