Location: 1A 01/02

AI isn’t magic. It’s still hard work. Having the technology alone is not enough; it requires a thoughtful and well-architected approach. That said, it’s not uncommon for organizations to infuse AI solutions into their business processes while still building out how they collect, organize, and analyze data.

Daniel Hernandez takes a deep dive into the AI ladder and explores how it can provide organizations an understanding of where they are in their AI journey and determine where they need to focus next so they can successfully operationalize trusted and transparent AI throughout their business.

This session is sponsored by IBM.
