@_hkropp Hey there, sorry for getting back so late! That is a very good question! Prior to this role I was architect in search. We were two ppl in that role and could gather some experience! So essentially we are there to support teams in hard and/or team crossing issues and challenges. >

@_hkropp The question is how to best do that, of course. We‘re doing a mix of ad hoc requests, projects, and more long-term technical vision and roadmapping. With the latter being the biggest challenge given lack of time, of course ;) >

@_hkropp So I see the AI architect as a continuation of that, but across a while department, while focussing on anything related to AI and machine learning. It is not just technical arch but also talent, processes, product dev, long term strategy, etc. >

@_hkropp Not doing all of that myself, of course, but my idea is that even if I lack the expertise or capacity, I should know who to connect to or bring in to support. There are more things I am working on right now, like an „AI maturity“ index to self-evaluate and show a path forward >
