Topic 1 - Loren, welcome to the show. How about a brief introduction and background. 

Topic 2 - Our audience shows an interest in AI/ML but at least as us as the hosts, we aren’t deep on the AI/ML side. So, let’s start at the start, what is a decision platform? How is AI/ML involved? And most importantly, why do companies need one?

Topic 3 - As I understand this, this is about an intersection of AI/ML with DevOps and then providing access to non-technical SME’s as well? Is this the correct way to think about this? How does this relate to automating complex decisions and how does this help the business? Does this stray into the topic of LowCode/NoCode?

Topic 4 - Anytime I think about automation, especially highly automated CI/CD pipelines, I worry about a ripple effect. Is it true to say the more complex the decisions, the higher the risk that something will not go as planned? Any recommendations or best practices/lessons learned you would like to share?

Topic 5 - This has me thinking about another trend, we keep hearing anything with Ops tacked on the back. Of course DevOps, then DevSecOps, AIOps, etc. Is this DecisionOps? What industries are typically drawn to these types of platforms? I can see this benefiting highly regulated industries. 

Topic 6 - As this may be a new topic for some, if folks want to learn more, how would you suggest they get started in this space?
