Title: Applied AI – Challenges and Industry Trends

Abstract: AI adoption can be a massive competitive advantage to enterprises across domains. The question enterprises are asking is no longer “Should we do AI?” but rather “How can we do AI?”. As virtually all industries are adopting AI at a rapidly accelerating pace, several roadblocks exist in order to fully realize AI’s potential. Delivering trustworthy, transparent and accountable ML solutions, successful production deployments and effective operations have emerged as a major bottleneck to getting real value from ML systems. In this session, learn about the best practices in tackling these challenges faced by enterprises in realizing value from applied AI and the skills companies are looking for in the workforce to become an AI enabled company.
