Over the last four years, the amount of enterprises that have deployed AI has gone up from 10% to 37%. As confidence in the technology continues to grow, decision makers are accelerating adoption to stay ahead of the competition, innovate, and grow businesses.
But how fast is too fast when it comes to adopting AI? What are the priorities? Is there a point where the rush for deployment turns into a treat for development? And what are the ethical implications of this nascent tech?
As machine learning teaches us, these questions can be answered by looking at the past.
Walter Riviera goes beyond the buzzwords to dive deep into the practical, real-world implementations of AI, from analyzing recruitment in education to predicting delays and traffic on complex railway networks to figuring out why self-driving cars can’t see kangaroos. Join in to learn the five steps that characterize AI project engagement along with best practices for deploying an AI leading solution.
