In this episode of the Scaling Tech Podcast, host Arin Sime explores the landscape of AI engineering and adoption in Mexico, recording from Mexico City. He speaks with founders, engineers, and researchers about building real AI applications and the lessons learned in reshaping engineering teams.
Discover how companies are moving past vanity projects to focus on “proof of value” with AI, increasing revenue, and reducing expenses.
