Ai4 - Artificial Intelligence Conference Takeaways

I had fun at Ai4 - Artificial Intelligence Conferences 2023 this week. It was insightful learning how others are exploring the wild west of AI. 🤖

Some of my takeaways were:

A.I. is disrupting, but not destroying. (Wonder Dynamics)

A.I. should provide people with more and easier-to-digest data to make human decisions, and dashboards should not replace people (Dataiku)

Both the goods and harms of A.I. are likely overstated, but we should see how to balance that. (OpenAI)

The best tools are accessible in existing pipelines and workflows (Wonder Dynamics)

Consumer demands through entertainment (video games) drove companies like Nvidia to progress their chips which paved the way for where Ai is today. (Oculus VR)

Successful adaptation requires creating the proper use case roadmap that is driven and linked to your overall strategy (Dataiku)

Evaluate and prune your tech stack regularly; using too many services will make integration to A.I. harder. (Dataiku)

Mastercard did not prohibit using A.I. but instead used generative A.I. on "sample data sets" to practice while keeping customers' data secure.

A.I. can help increase personalization, boosting loyalty and driving sustained engagement. 71% of consumers see personalization as a standard level of service. Orgs that implement personalization see a 10-15% increase in revenue (Amazon Web Services (AWS))

And possibly my favorite:

There are smart trashcans using cameras and Ai to help chefs identify what food they could have made with food scraps (ISS A/S)
