SUMMARY:Beyond the Model: Why GenAI Breaks in Production
DESCRIPTION:Ever wonder why GenAI breaks in production, even with 'proven' models? In this talk, we'll explore the fail points, where they come from, and the systems and organizational habits that enable them.Despite dramatic gains in model capability, many GenAI initiatives fail as soon as they move beyond the prototype. It's not the model that breaks; it's the environment it’s deployed into. Fragile handoffs, missing feedback loops, and unclear team boundaries create the perfect storm for silent, cascading failures.The rise of vibecoding, where AI-generated code ships without proper review or integration has made these issues harder to detect and easier to scale. Public misfires from tools like Base44 illustrate how quickly AI can introduce instability when organizational readiness is lacking.This talk draws on real-world AutonomyAI deployments to surface the most common failure modes in GenAI production. It introduces the PACT model, a practical framework for aligning product intent, architecture, communication, and task clarity. The goal: help teams build systems where GenAI can deliver lasting value, not just short-lived demos.
