Andrew Burgess, Advisor & Writer on AI & RPA will talk on
“Starting Your AI Journey”
“Andrew takes a pragmatic and hype-free approach to explain artificial intelligence and how it can be utilised by businesses today. Andrew will introduce his AI Framework which describes in non-technical language the eight core capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Each of these capabilities, ranging from image recognition, through natural language processing, to prediction, will be explained using real-life examples and how they can be applied in a business environment. Andrew will then go on to describe how an organisation can start their AI journey and build their own AI strategy.”
