We are no longer seeing the models and tools but the impact of the tools\, models and algorithms. \n\n\nThis presentation will discuss the concepts of AI\, enterprise applications\, prominent AI technologies and what it means for your business. \n\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Mechie Nkengla is the Chief Data Strategist at Data Products LLC (www.dataproducts.io)\, a Data Science consultancy and R&D firm that partners with organizations to deliver expertise in data science\, data strategy\, machine learning\, artificial intelligence and analytics. Prior to Data Products\, she was a leader at EY Analytics Center of Excellence and has a career that spans academia\, research\, startups and large corporations.
