Break Free From the AI-Hype
Many business leaders are distracted by the hype surrounding AI. We see the claims that someday soon it will replace most of your workforce and write all of your thought leadership content, turning your enterprise into a set-it-and-forget-it operation.
But those on the ground in security and business contexts will tell you – that’s simply not true.
There are, however, very real applications for AI in data, automation, security, ESG, and sustainability.
The team at IBM have been working tirelessly to test and understand the limitations and possibilities that AI brings to enterprise businesses. This Summit is designed to make that learning available to you in an intimate, limited seating event.
We’ll showcase the strong applications for AI at the enterprise level, cutting through the noise and delivering real information that you can implement with your team Friday morning.
