We had seen the benefits of ML powered solutions and had a large appetite for delivering more value to our customers. But we also saw the costs of democratizing Machine Learning solutions across the organization. We knew that Machine Learning solutions require a conscious, informed decision by all stakeholders of a product.
So how did Spotify promote exploration and conscious use of Machine Learning?
