To be frank, AI/ML is a good add-on to the security aspects, but the hype created is way too much! It will definitely contribute to various aspects but selling it in the manner it is being done today does not give the true picture.

Its really overhyped because at the end of the day what you see still needs to make sense in the larger context and you need to understand. On it's own AI/ML adds only limited amount of value.

It's a game changer when peered with a team of experts.

It's overhyped if it's just on its own.

We use Microsoft PowerBI extensively at the company. Over 15,000 reports.
For our "corporate" reports, like financials or HR, we centralize those requests and attend them with my team.
We currently "extract" information from multiple systems (ie. SAP, SuccessFactors, CRM, etc...) and put in into a SQL Analysis Services. For interpreting the data we have a Semantics model in PBI.
The problem I see is we can't scale enough to comply with the reporting demands as the semantic model is "unique" and we end up having only one or two developers that can work at a time. 
Anyone has an idea how to scale their PBI teams without having to redevelop the semantic model per report?

Has anyone had any success with evaluating the impact of using Generative AI tools such as GitHub's Copilot on the productivity or performance impact on developers? I see a lot of qualitative discussions about how developers say they are more productive, but how are you measuring that impact?
