Enterprises have access to massive amounts of data, much of which is difficult to discover because the data is unstructured. Conventional approaches to analyzing unstructured data use keyword or synonym matching. They don’t capture the full context of a document, making them less effective in dealing with unstructured data. In contrast, text embeddings use machine learning (ML) capabilities to capture the meaning of unstructured data.

The book is an exaggeration from what we are all already to some extent experiencing and can relate to.

In the early days of software development, the process was often sequential and compartmentalized. Developers wrote the code and then handed it off to Quality Assurance (QA) for testing. This model, sometimes referred to as the " waterfall " approach, often led to quality issues and delays as problems were discovered late in the cycle. Enter the concept of Shifting Left – the idea of applying processes and practices earlier in the life cycle.
