Thanks for your feedback ohazi! You are right that “No system should ever fail silently” and there are many ways to address this. However, we’ve seen cases where not enough attention is put into input data pipelines and similar mistakes are being made by new and even well-funded AI startups. One of the reasons this is happening is because some of these startups are launched by people with little experience in machine learning / data science. For example, we’ve seen doctors, web developers, lawyers and accountants moving into AI space. They can learn the basics of machine learning and maybe hire someone to help them, but often don’t know about the best practices or things to watch out for when building a data driven company. Unfortunately, there are few guidelines or best practices available online. With this article, we were hoping to help these new AI startups by bringing awareness to the importance of data pipelines.
