ABOUT THE TALK
  • AI & Data Culture

Successful AI implementation hinges on a solid foundation of data quality and governance, and the current hype often overshadows the critical practical considerations needed to achieve that foundation. Moreover, while AI holds immense potential, it's crucial to evaluate whether it's truly the optimal solution for a given business problem, as simpler, more established methods may be equally or more effective. We present a practical framework to assess whether AI is the optimal solution, and encourage some good old-fashioned critical thinking. Join Colleen Tartow and Lindsay Murphy for a data-driven conversation exploring AI's true viability.
