Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has quickly become the technology sector’s wild west, with startups vying for attention as enterprise use advances. Stardog, an AI firm specializing in data analytics software, was founded in 2005 – well before ChatGPT 2022 launch created a firestorm of hype around GenAI.
This week, Stardog announced the availability of its new Voicebox large language model (LLM) platform, which the company says will allow enterprise users with little AI experience to immediately access and interact with critical business data. The company has so far raised $25 million, including a recent investment from Accenture.
Voicebox is a self-service analytics platform that workers can use to directly question any and every enterprise data source using ordinary language, the company said. Many enterprises have limited enterprise ChatGPT use because of security and data privacy concerns. Stardog says its product avoids those concerns by using only corporate data sources.
InformationWeek chatted with Stardog CEO and founder Kendall Clark about the company’s history working with NASA, the future of GenAI, how CIOs and CTOs should tackle AI implementation, and how regulation will impact AI efforts.
