In this session, Andrew Welch will explore his latest research on the real-world AI strategies, architectures, and implementation plans of more than 20 organisations across 15 countries. At a time when 90%+ AI pilots are failing, learn how actual customers are charging ahead. Understand how these customers are finding (and sometimes not finding) success, and return to work after the AI Trust Forum with newfound expertise and actual, evidenced research that you can incorporate into your work, personally stand out in a crowd of people who all claim to be “AI experts”, and make meaningful progress for your firm, government agency, or non-profit organization.
