Even as AI technologies move into common use, many enterprise decision makers remain baffled about what the different technologies actually do and how they can be integrated into their businesses. On the plus side, technology we thought was decades away seems to be showing up at our doorstep with increasing frequency. However, little effort has been made to clearly explain the value and genuine business utility of this technology. Kristian Hammond shares a practical framework for understanding the role of AI technologies in problem solving and decision making, focusing on how they can be used, the requirements for doing so, and the expectations for their effectiveness. Kris starts with a lecture outlining this functional framework and ends with hands-on exercises so you can practice using it in the real world when evaluating data, requirements and opportunities. You’ll leave with greater knowledge of the space and the skills to apply that knowledge to your businesses, ensuring that as you build, evaluate, and compare different systems, you’ll understand and be able to articulate how they work and the resulting impact.
