One of the biggest challenges with implementation of AI-based solutions is the ability to articulate to key stakeholders the benefits of AI over more traditional analytics, and being able to define, upfront, the potential return on investment (ROI) from an AI implementation.

She’ll look at the risks and reasons why AI projects can fail and provide practical guidance on how to give your AI project the best chance of success.
