Today’s guest is Neil Bhandar, Chief Data Analytics Officer for Generac. Neil brings decades of experience in artificial intelligence, from academic research to enterprise-scale implementation across manufacturing and financial services. He joins Emerj Managing Editor Matt DeMello to explore the hidden costs of building AI in-house, the risks of over-relying on large models, and how service organizations can deploy GenAI to improve efficiency and preserve institutional knowledge. Neil shares how GenAI is helping field teams access hard-to-find information in real-time — reducing the need for costly site visits and accelerating issue resolution. He also explains why human empathy remains essential in last-mile service roles, even as AI tools take on more diagnostic and decision-making responsibilities. Finally, Neil offers practical advice for enterprise leaders evaluating AI partnerships — emphasizing cultural alignment, modularity, and the need to protect what makes their organizations uniquely competitive.
