Empowering CDAOs for AI Success — Unveiling Essential Steps to Leverage the AI Revolution
Hosted by SAS
As generative AI takes center stage on organisations' IT agendas, the strategic adoption of this technology faces hurdles such as "hallucinations," privacy concerns, hidden costs, and a lack of preparedness. CDAOs need to gain insights and implement AI readiness practices to effectively embrace generative AI, overcoming challenges and fostering growth. In this Town Hall, we will have a practical discussion addressing factors required to be AI ready. We’ll cover knowledge gaps, the need for solid data foundations, using AI to deliver specific outcomes, and discussing the evolution of the CDAO organisation as AI matures.
Join this Town Hall to hear your peers discuss:
- Modernise digital assets for faster, safer, and more efficient change, focusing on driving value creation
- Increase risk tolerance and ensure robust integration of generative models with customer journeys, company processes, and specific outcomes
- Gain insights for strategic investment assessment and maintaining competitive flexibility
