Sin embargo\, muchas empresas se embarcan en este viaje centrándose en resolver casos de uso específicos y aislados. \nSi bien este enfoque puede ofrecer resultados rápidos y resolver problemas inmediatos\, a menudo no proporciona un marco sostenible y escalable para el éxito a largo plazo.  \nA medida que las empresas acumulan más datos y crece la demanda de una toma de decisiones más rápida e inteligente\, se requiere un cambio estratégico: pasar de un enfoque fragmentario y centrado en casos de uso a una estrategia integral basada en una hoja de ruta o roadmap para las iniciativas de IA y datos. \nAl adoptar una estrategia basada en un roadmap\, las organizaciones pueden navegar mejor por las complejidades de la transformación digital\, optimizar sus inversiones en tecnología y datos\, y crear una cultura más ágil e innovadora. Una hoja de ruta bien definida proporciona un plan estructurado para desplegar la IA y el análisis de datos\, garantizando que cada iniciativa contribuya a una estrategia más amplia que impulse resultados empresariales significativos.  \nEste enfoque no solo mejora la eficiencia operativa y las capacidades de toma de decisiones\, sino que también posiciona a las organizaciones para ser más resistentes y adaptables frente a futuros desafíos. \nEn este encuentro ejecutivo organizado por Keepler Data Tech y AI NOW\, compartiremos cómo la metodología diseñada y probada por Keepler\, ya ayuda a las empresas a escalar sus proyectos de IA\, como el caso de la entidad bancaria Leading con la que se ha diseñado un roadmap de +65 casos de uso a desarrollar en 5 años.

AI has reached the point of driving mainstream\, significant\, and varied enterprise applications and we are seeing many industries implementing AI. But for most enterprises\, true innovation comes not from experimentation or pilots but from industrialising AI at scale.\nMoving from one-off pilots to enterprise-wide adoption carries its own risks and challenges and many organisations lack clarity\, the right infrastructure\, processes\, and skills in place to introduce actionable AI solutions \nai: NOW is introducing a series of events to share these challenges and bring together a community of AI leaders to drive adoption and implementation of AI in the enterprise TODAY. This is not the future of AI. This is ai: NOW. \nDiscussion Points \n\nWhat are and have been the challenges faced by businesses in harnessing the full potential of AI?\nWhat are the unique challenges of implementing AI within industries\, such as logistics\, healthcare\, finance\, manufacturing\, etc and what are the transferrable learnings?\nWhat infrastructure considerations are crucial for ensuring the scalability of AI systems in large enterprises?\nHow to achieve transparency and interpretability in AI models?\nWhat are the risks\, governance\, and legislative complexities?\nWhich provider is best to select – open platforms or renowned suppliers (MS\, Google\, etc)?\nWhat strategies are effective in ensuring that computational resources scale alongside the increasing demands of AI models?
