Session: Visionary Leadership: Shaping the Future of Business with AI and Emerging Technologies
Across the globe, organizations are putting AI to work. It can help enhance customer experience, assess maintenance needs in real-time, optimize inventory, and even generate realistic animations or audio for marketing. AI is invigorating productivity and permeating all industries. In the year ahead, we’re going to see businesses take a more practical approach to determining where AI can drive greater value. AI at the edge allows data to be utilized where needed, which in turn makes AI deployment more accessible and personalized. With advancements like AI-powered PCs that compress AI processes, organizations will no longer require a GPU rack to deploy AI, and they’ll be empowered to create hyper-personalized experiences based on end-user preferences and historical data. Businesses will be challenged to move quickly to keep up with the pace of the technology, but they will also be met by very real challenges with its adoption and its scale.There is no one-size-fits-all approach to deploying AI. Business leaders must create a strong foundation from the beginning that asks the relevant questions that will guide and ultimately determine when and how to deploy the technology.
