11:00 Moving AI Off Your Product Roadmap and Into Your Products
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 we 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 our AI efforts from our product roadmaps into the market. Leveraging technology enablers like deep learning, natural language processing, automated reasoning, and more and combining those enablers with great end-user experience and sophisticated UX. How then do you make your organization AI ready, determine the right AI applications for your business and products, and accelerate your AI efforts with speed and scale?
