    Designing AI Programs: Organizational Readiness

    Recorded - available as on demand webcast

    AI has been getting its fair share of inflated and unrealistic expectations due to a lack of broad understanding of this wide-ranging space by software vendors and customers.  Software tools can be extremely powerful, however the services, infrastructure, data quality, architecture, talent and methodologies to fully deploy in the enterprise are frequently lacking.  This four-part series by Earley Information Science and Pandata will explore a number of issues that continue to plague AI projects and reduce the likelihood of success.  The sessions will provide actionable steps using proven processes to improve AI program outcomes. 

    In part 2 we discuss - What needs to be in place?  Who needs to be on the team? 

    AI projects (or at least the successful ones) require that certain supporting data and processes. Those capabilities are necessary to provide inputs for the system and apply the outputs to solve problems.  Many organizations are “getting ahead of their skis” by not clearly identifying or fully understanding the dependencies.  This session will review ways of identifying who needs to be on the bus and factors that influence how well an AI pilot can be operationalized and scaled.  Building the right team is as important as selecting problems to address, software packages and platforms.  However, AI talent is in high demand and costly.  Where does it make sense to outsource and when is it not a good idea to do so?

    • Why you can’t outsource everything
    • The underlying processes needed to support an AI initiatives
    • Focusing on the foundation (processes, metrics, outcomes)
    • Finding baselines and measuring impact

    [RECORDED] Product Data: Insights for Success - How AI is Automating Product Data Programs

    Artificial Intelligence is changing the way businesses interact with their customers. From hyper-personalized experiences to chatbots built on Large Language Models, AI is driving new investment in digital experiences. That same AI and LLM can also be used to automate your product data program. From data onboarding and validation to generating descriptions and validating images, AI can help generate content faster and at a higher quality level to improve product findability, search, and conversion rates. In our second webinar in the Product Data Mastery series, we’re speaking with Madhu Konety from IceCream Labs to show exactly how AI and product data can work together for your business.

    The Critical Role of Content Architecture in Generative AI

    What is Generative AI? Generative AI has caught fire in the industry – almost every tech vendor has a ChatGPT-like offering (or claims to have one). They are claiming to use the same technology – a large language model (LLM) (actually there are many Large Language Models both open source and proprietary fine-tuned for various industries and purposes) to access and organize content knowledge of the enterprise. As with previous new technologies, LLMs are getting hyped. But what is generative AI?
