AI – From Hype to Here…

…many are struggling to get genuine value out, or even to get started. Is that you? Has the early promise of Generative Ai landed with more of a whimper than a bang in your organisation? That’s probably because you’re missing some fundamentals around data visibility, actionability and the control infrastructure that sits around it. That, and to do AI right, isn’t quite as easy as they’d let you believe.

We believe AI and Gen AI are truly revolutionary and transformative technologies, capable of both improving existing systems and designing a better future, for organisations, businesses, and society at large. We call this Enterprise AI. But to unlock this impact and value, safely, securely, sustainably and accountably, requires effort, tried and tested approaches, a clear definition of success, and an innovative mindset.

During this session we’ll delve into the what, why, how and where of Enterprise AI and outline our approach to delivering it.  Join us to find out how to build your own ‘Enterprise Ready AI’ safely and securely and get up close with a hands-on demo.

In this session we’ll share our approach (and learnings) to:

• Demystifying AI – What it (currently) is (and isn’t) and where it could go;
• Real-world examples;
• Discovering what we and other organisations are doing to improve the present and pioneer the future;
• Our roadmap to maturity: using an innovation framework to experiment, solve real-world problems, and drive growth and efficiencies.

By the end of this session, you’ll understand how to: 

• Identify the right AI opportunities for your organisation;
• Design solutions that meet user and organisation needs;
• Choose the appropriate technology;
• Implement AI safely, securely and ethically.
