It’s no secret that every major company is investing heavily in AI. Despite a year of uncertainty ahead, members of the Boardroom Club are backing AI as a key investment area in 2019. Such is the confidence and excitement around the potential for this emerging technology. In the next 12-months, there will be a 357% increase in the number of large companies (5,000+ employees) operationalising their usage of AI [IDG, 2019].
So it seems AI is about to start scaling. However, it won’t be plain sailing. AI introduces unpredictable & thorny issues around ethics, culture, governance and data to name a few. Issues that could undermine, delay or eliminate the return-on-investment goals you have. In addition, scaling AI is slow, while expectations are very high. Indeed, “AI projects face unique obstacles due to their scope and popularity, misperceptions about their value, the nature of the data they touch” [Gartner, 2019].
For senior executives, this is an exclusive, must-attend event. It is invitation-only and due to its popularity places do go quickly. Please register now to confirm a place.
On this occasion, we’ll meet on April 4th at The Gherkin 6:15pm in Central London.
