AI is a way for us to understand and grasp knowledge, information and put data into context. It is being used globally to make all kinds of decisions that directly impact our lives and yet most understand very little about it. We start with the definition that data is an artifact of human experience. We need the widest variance of humans, irrespective of your role and skillset, developing AI so that everyone’s story is a part of the models we are building. Ergo, this talk is for you!

These are groups of trustworthy AI stewards from across the business that can understand, anticipate, and mitigate any potential problems.

In this talk, we will walk you through a set f best practices for establishing an effective center of excellence in your own organization.
