A Crisp Overview
This CognitiveVirtual focuses on AI Centre of Excellence – the practical steps & components of preparing an organisation for a successful AI journey.
The Details
Finding the right focus, creating a vision, managing expectations, attracting, and building talent, developing technical infrastructure, building external partnerships and internal networks, while also taking ethical aspects into consideration are only some of the most fundamental components of entrenching AI in an organization.
AI Centre of Excellence is a seemingly complex puzzle with lots of pieces needing to fit together. At this event, leaders and experts join forces to put the pieces of this puzzle together, and with that, create clarity about the requirements of setting an organisation off for an AI journey successfully.
The focus of the keynotes and discussions will fall on four aspects:
· finding the purpose & focus of AI
· defining the requirements for the essential resources
· determining the process
· role that leaders play
