Breakfast briefing – AI and Big Data: a key partnership

Two powerful forces are converging this year. The first is the explosion of data from every source imaginable – cars, homes, cities, and us as individuals. The second is the rapid maturing of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning – entering some 75% of all software applications by 2019 according to IDC. But business value will only be created if these two forces are fully aligned through use of appropriate skills, methods and tools.

Traditional systems were never designed to cope with the volumes of data that are present today, nor were they architected to protect personal privacy, connect to multiple applications through APIs, or confirm to new regulations such as GDPR. Business executives are taking strategic decisions to exploit such customer and product related data by using advanced AI and machine learning techniques. Are you as IT leaders ready to unite these two powerful forces to meet such strategic initiatives?

IBM and Hortonworks have collaborated to address the issue of big data and associated AI to enable businesses to achieve leadership in markets that are increasingly digital and driven by intelligent applications. These initiatives include business awareness of Big Data and AI potential, experimentation and pilots, and AI enablement of key applications. In our breakfast briefing we will explore progress that is being made in consolidating core data resources within organisations, and applying AI to extract new sources of value and revenue enhancement.

Join us at the fantastic and brand new surroundings of the Ivy City Garden, situated in the heart of the city & learn & share with industry peers on this most compelling topic.
