Databricks co-founder and CEO Ali Ghodsi, speaking on a16z's YouTube channel, argues that for most enterprise use cases the bottleneck is not model intelligence but context: meetings, decisions, workflows, history, and the institutional knowledge sitting in employees' heads. He adds that the vast majority of organizations worldwide are far behind on the adoption curve of actually automating things and extracting value from AI.
