The promise of AI is astounding. It has the potential to change everything and transform how we all do business and live our lives. In order to exploit this potential, organizations need to ignore the hype and focus on their business goals rather than the technologies themselves.

Kristian Hammond walks you through an approach to bring AI into the enterprise, based on the functional, business aspects of AI technologies. Kristian maps out simple rules, useful metrics, and where AI should live in the org chart, laying out the route you should follow to make good on the promise of the technologies of intelligence.
