AI in the Real World

I was excited to serve as an expert commentator on AI during the AI in the Real World segment.  With Sasha Twining, we explored real-world applications of AI, and how they have converted AI initiatives into AI solutions that solve real world problems. Speakers included Mailiis Ploomann, Head of Telecom Services, Elisa on how they are using AI that is effective for the customer. We also heard insights from Pamela Morales-Cabudoy of Globe Telecom, as well as others on how AI is driving transformation and automation.

My big takeaways on the AI in the Real World segment surrounded the topics of data, 5G and adapting to change.  It was great to hear from all our speakers on the need to adapt especially with the current challenges around COVID.
