"The Robots are coming!- Look around you" & Is your business Data Ready?

We have 2 people speaking about the Age of Artificial Intelligence and the future of data and analytics -

In this talk, Stephen Redmond, AI and Big Data Delivery Lead for Accenture Applied Intelligence in Ireland, https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenredmond/

"The Robots are coming!" - Look around you. Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a futuristic notion, it's here right now—such as software that senses what we need, supply chains that "think" in real time, and robots that respond to changes in their environment. 21st century pioneer companies are already using AI to innovate and grow fast. The bottom line is this: Businesses that understand how to harness AI can surge ahead. Those that neglect it will fall behind. Which side are you on?
The robots are coming. Not to take over though, but to help make our work more human. In the Age of Artificial Intelligence, we find that AI’s real power is helping re-imagine business by augmenting, not replacing, human capabilities: “Human + Machine”.

Stephen will talk about:

• Where we are, really with AI, versus the hype
• What is AI and what are the applications
• Why AI is not just about winning board games or game shows, it is a new way of doing business
• What is the reality of the myths surrounding AI
• What businesses need to do now, and into the future
• What are the big challenges that we need to overcome

A talk by Max Cottica
In a time where AI seems the only way to gain ground in your industry, have you asked yourself is my data ready? Probably not.
Two major blockers there, data governance and organizational structures, two barriers you will have to pass in order to get that competitive edge. And once you have done that, are you ready for the future of data and analytics?
