Ambati views data science as “a quest for truth” and should be foundational for businesses looking to optimize their greatest assets — people and data. Making AI fast, easy, and affordable is the only equitable way for customers and communities to truly change the world. That’s why open-source is at the heart of H2O.ai’s ethos. For H2O.ai and Ambati, it’s essential to get AI tools into as many hands as possible to help smaller companies build their own solutions and promote essential diversity in the market. His vision is to empower enterprises to compete against behemoths in the tech world.

“Our partnership with H20.ai continues to deliver fantastic outcomes for our customers and communities. Our use of Document.ai is really shifting the dial in improving the efficiency of manual processes and document handling; this not only makes us a simpler, better bank for our customers to engage with, it is also freeing up our people to spend more time serving customers and delivering innovative new products and services,” said Dr. Andrew McMullan, Chief Data & Analytics Officer at CBA. “AI is transforming our ability to be more personalized and timely for our customers in the moments that matter, and our H2O.ai platform is a key driver of this. From real-time assistance during natural disasters to returning $1Bn to customers from government rebates and benefits through our Benefits Finder tool, our customers are already feeling many real-world benefits from our use of machine learning at scale, and we’re incredibly excited about what the latest developments in AI will mean for our customers as our partnership with H2O continues to flourish.
