Description

We’re in the golden age of data science and artificial intelligence. It’s estimated that more data has been created in the past two years than the previous 5,000 years of humanity. And while you may recognize that AI will be the backbone of all technology in the future, it can be hard to keep up with the speed of innovation and even harder to move your AI efforts from your product roadmaps into the market.

Entrusted with the rich financial data of 46 million customers, Intuit is in a unique position to take advantage of AI to help solve some of the biggest financial pain points for consumers and small businesses. Leveraging technology enablers like deep learning, natural language processing, automated reasoning, and more and combining those enablers with a delightful end-user experience and sophisticated UX, Intuit is using technology to help consumers and small businesses find more money, do less work, and have more confidence in their financial management.

Drawing on his experience at Intuit, Ashok Srivastava explains how to make your organization AI ready, determine the right AI applications for your business and products, and accelerate your AI efforts with speed and scale.
