SEMINAR 1: AI in Customer Analytics
Hosted by: Pawel Osterreicher, Director of Strategy & Business Development, deepsense.ai
Industry analyst firm Gartner says, “By 2020, 85% of customer interactions will be managed without a human.” Delivering a cohesive customer experience (CX) across all enterprise touchpoints requires finding patterns across a myriad of data
points. AI and machine learning present an opportunity to evolve many siloed, multi-channel organizations into proactive customer champions. An AI-enabled customer journey starts with developing the right processes and expertise for collecting data.

SEMINAR 3: AI & Cybersecurity
Hosted by: Bob Gourley, Co-Founder and CTO, OODA LLC
AI is being used today to improve the ability of organizations to defend themselves. It is also being used by adversaries seeking advantage. The age-old game of attack vs defense continues. But something is different now. Organizations are finding that
their AI solutions need special protections. AI needs to be developed in the most secure manner possible. Adversaries who can access training data can manipulate it to drive outcomes of machine learning. Algorithms themselves must also be protected.
Many AI solutions have been shown to be biased and/or bigoted. And in some cases, the solutions will generate results that are unexplainable, making security and compliance even more complicated.
- Benefits of performing a critical infrastructure security risk assessment
- Best practices for implementing automation in enterprise cybersecurity programs
- Getting executive buy-in for cyber spending utilizing AI and machine learning

SEMINAR 4: AI for Business Leaders: Realizing the Promise of AI
Hosted by: Ronald Schmelzer, Managing Partner, Principal Analyst, Cognilytica
Kathleen Walch, Managing Partner, Principal Analyst, Cognilytica
Staying competitive in the rapidly accelerating business world requires executives and companies to move towards digital transformation. Simply automating manual processes or using machines to shuffle documents around hasn’t really changed anything.
AI and Machine learning, powered by big data, advancements in computing, and the development of deep learning algorithms promise to change all of that and break the digital transformation logjam. This enables companies to gain intelligence from
their information, augment operations with intelligent systems, and provide deep prediction, pattern, anomaly, recognition, goal-seeking, and personalization capabilities that have previously been unattainable.
