For half a century, artificial intelligence (AI) seemed to be an ever-receding destination that was always “20 years from now”. But, thanks to a proliferation of connectivity, huge amounts of data and the low cost of extremely powerful cloud computing, AI is here, now. And, by augmenting our personal and professional lives, it has the potential to unleash entirely new levels of productivity.
Moderated by Salesforce's VP for Strategic Research, Peter Coffee, this panel of industry leaders will discuss how you can navigate the expanding world of AI capabilities, and how the technology is already being used to achieve business and customer success. The panel will also be sharing some insight to help you spot the opportunities within your organisation and industry where the power of AI can be harnessed.
