Sessions
Taking Artificial Intelligence Out of the Lab
2:00pm–2:45pm
In this discussion that brings industry leaders together with practitioner perspectives, we address the question: How do you monetize and productize artificial intelligence? And we ask: What is the value that CSOs need from AI to solve challenges of identifying hidden threats and risks? From video to facial recognition to interrogating data lakes for hidden meaning, our panel will explore what’s real and what’s still a dream for tomorrow.
