If your feed feels like an endless stream of AI takes right now, you are not alone.
What most technology leaders actually want is harder to find: honest conversations with practitioners who are living it, not talking about it from the sidelines.
On 18 June in London, YLD brought together a group of CTOs and C-suite tech leaders for YLD Innovate, an evening to talk candidly about what AI actually looks like inside real organisations.
In the fireside chat with Fatma Dogan, Anthropic’s GTM we covered:
- How Anthropic uses AI agents and Evals to run their own GTM workflow end to end
- What changes when AI starts affecting non-technical teams, not just engineering
- What it genuinely takes to get an Evals workflow right, and how fast it can happen
- How to build a culture where people start building with AI themselves, without losing control of access or quality
- What good performance evaluation actually looks like when you are working with Evals
In the panel with engineering leaders from Google DeepMind, Doist, and Snyk we covered:
- What it really costs to scale AI past the pilot phase, financially, culturally, and organisationally
- How to move fast enough to stay competitive without building technical debt you cannot undo
- How much autonomy teams should have to build with AI, while still protecting your data, your users, and your reputation
- How to measure whether any of this is delivering value, when the metrics you relied on were built for a different era
These are topics that sit close to the work we do at YLD every day, helping teams design and build software and put AI to practical use. If any of this matches a problem you're facing right now, get in touch.
