David Weisburd
About this episode
In this episode of How I Invest, I sit down with Matt Fitzpatrick, CEO of Invisible Technologies and former head of McKinsey’s QuantumBlack Labs. Matt shares his deep insights on enterprise AI adoption, model fine-tuning, and the challenges businesses face when integrating AI into their workflows. We explore why only 8% of AI models make it to production, how enterprises can overcome friction points, and the future of AI-powered enterprise solutions. If you’re curious about the intersection of AI and business strategy, this episode is a must-listen.

Highlights: Enterprise AI Adoption: Why only 8% of AI models reach production and how companies can improve their success rates.

AI Fine-Tuning for Enterprises: The importance of domain-specific AI models and why general AI solutions don’t always fit enterprise needs.

The Data Challenge: Why poor data quality is the biggest barrier to AI adoption and how companies can fix it.

Human-AI Collaboration: The role of human feedback in training AI models for enterprise use cases.

Real-World AI Success Stories: How companies like Moody’s and Klarna successfully implemented AI solutions.

Invisible Technologies’ Vision: How Invisible is building an AI-powered enterprise services platform to modernize business operations.

Future of AI in Business: How AI-native companies will rethink workflows and software applications from the ground up. Matt’s Journey: From leading McKinsey’s AI lab to scaling one of the fastest-growing AI companies.
