What Does AI Look Like in the Enterprise?
For this month’s CollabTalk tweetjam, we’ll be exploring a topic that has been popping up again and again: what is the enterprise story around artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning (ML). There are a lot of really exciting products and services being built around AI+ML, but many are recognizing the gap between the R&D discussions and pilots currently underway, and where these advances are currently meeting the needs of the enterprise….or will soon deliver on the promises being made.
Our online discuss this month is “The Practical Application of AI and Machine-Learning” and will provide members of the community an opportunity to discuss our expectations and share real-world experiences of how AI and ML is delivering, or will soon deliver value to our businesses. Join us on Thursday, August 30th at 9am Pacific / 6pm CEST via Twitter and the #CollabTalk hashtag using your favorite Twitter dashboard (Hootsuite, Tweetdeck, Buffer, etc) to take part in this monthly discussion.
You do not need to be an “expert” to participate in the online conversation, and can ask questions, comment on the questions posed, or just “lurk” in the background. These online discussions are open to anyone — you do not have to be on the panel to participate.
This month’s tweetjam is once again being sponsored by our good friends at tyGraph.
If you have never participated in one of the tweetjams, it’s pretty simple: anyone can jump in and share their thoughts, or watch from the wings and absorb the wisdom of the crowd. Either way, it’ll be a TON of content to consume in a single hour. You can follow the live session using the Twitter UI of your choice. How it works is that I’ll post a series of questions every few minutes, and people will respond to Q1, Q2, Q3 and so forth with A1, A2, A3, always including the #CollabTalk and #MSInspire hashtags with their answers. Feel free to reply as often (or as little) as you’d like, ask your own follow up questions, share relevant links, re-tweet others, and engage with the audience.
The questions we will discuss during this month’s tweetjam include:
- What is the state of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning (ML) in the enterprise?
- Where do you see AI truly transforming the enterprise, and what is just hype?
- What are the biggest challenges to AI adoption in the enterprise?
- Are there specific business scenarios that are logical places to begin an AI pilot?
- How will AI and ML impact corporate culture and technology ethics? Any examples?
- What is the impact of AI and ML on current job functions, as well as future roles?
- What should organizations consider as they incorporate AI into their short and long-term business strategies?
