Abstract:

A practical way to move AI from idea to real impact at scale. Most organizations are facing growing pressure from the market, rapid advances in technology, and rising expectations around productivity and decision-making. This session focuses on what needs to change across technology, data, processes, and people, and how to apply different types of AI in the right places to solve real business problems. Jamshid creates a straightforward path from early experiments to enterprise-wide adoption, along with practical lessons on what works and where most organizations get stuck.
