Talk: How to Get the Most from AI in Your Organization Today?
Notes from the Speaker: Most organizations already adopted AI are either stuck in AI demo hell or rushing into production without proper foundations. Having spent the last three years building AI systems and leading the transformation of AI platforms at scale, the speaker has repeatedly seen the same three critical gaps derail AI initiatives across organisations of all sizes.
In this talk, the speaker will share the three essential pillars that separate AI success stories from expensive failures:
- Leveraging AI coding assistants for immediate productivity gains
- Implementing observability and evaluation frameworks that prevent costly mistakes
- Building high-performing AI teams through strategic talent development
