Every Industry has abundant data available to them. Yet, few are unlocking the full value of this data through AI that can help forge stronger relationships with customers, enhance reliability, foster efficiency, and more. We need to leverage AI and data analytics to make informed decisions – or help customers do so – they must also think critically about how such decisions can alter energy efficiency and demand.
This event aims to empower businesses to embrace AI in their culture. Join leading experts, and contributors — from across the data and AI community — who will speak at this AI and Data event.
