Adopting elements of modern AI and cognitive computing – including advanced natural language processing, natural interface technologies such as gesture and emotion-recognition, and machine learning – is rapidly becoming a necessity for new applications. As people in all industries are exposed to better, more personalized, and responsive experiences with software, they will begin to demand more from every system they use. Cognitive computing - defined as systems that understand, reason, and learn - is the next frontier. In this session, we will separate the hype from the reality and help attendees prepare to:
- Classify and map application attributes to AI technologies and tools, including data attributes, end-user attributes, and context attributes such as weather and location
- Prioritize applications in an existing portfolio for AI-enhancements
- Assess organizational readiness for leveraging AI
- Understand Machine Learning fundamentals and a framework to identify opportunities for ML-enabled understanding
- Learn how analytics tools and technologies can co-exist with machine learning, deep learning, and cognitive computing technologies to enable augmented and artificial intelligence applications
