In this session, analytics expert and renowned AI author David Boyle will take the audience on a fascinating journey into applied AI. We'll explore how language models like ChatGPT are revolutionizing analytics, sharing dozens of practical examples of how AI is transforming data interpretation, decision-making, and communication.

We'll explore using these tools in planning analytics to generate hypotheses and analytical strategies. David will demonstrate GPT-4's Code Interpreter executing complex data tasks like cleaning and analysis, allowing attendees to see firsthand see the iterative nature of working with AI: How it can write code, perform analysis, and refine outputs based on feedback.

Finally, we'll look at bringing insights to life. AI can turn complex findings into compelling stories for decision-makers. It can generate visualizations, interpret results, and translate technical terms into actionable business insights. This helps close the gap between data teams and leadership by serving as a mediator.

This session will be far more than a simple demonstration of AI's capabilities, but instead offer a roadmap for harnessing AI's power to revolutionize your work. Join David to consider the broader implications of AI in decision-making and how to integrate these tools into your workflows.

There is a mad rush these days to embrace the power of AI inside every enterprise. But, through a decade of research, Jack Phillips' research has shown that a firm's data and analytics maturity hold the answer as to how ready a firm is to leverage AI. There is no "free lunch" when it comes to AI adoption -- the foundational elements of high quality data, a data-driven culture, and understanding the right business problems must all be in place

Mr. Phillips will walk through IIA's globally accepted methodology for measuring data and analytics maturity, and share industry and company benchmarks to allow you to estimate where your company stands today. Most importantly, Mr. Phillips will open the playbook around what the highest-performing analytical competitors are doing differently than the rest. 

In a classic cart before the horse scenario, many companies have jumped at leveraging Generative AI and other AI technologies. However, most of those same companies haven't completed the core work of building a reliable & secure foundation that provides data accessibility, analytics speed, and ensures data quality. The resulting risk for leaders is overinvestment in AI programs that may not have accurate & secure data access, further exposing the business to harm. It is a case of slowing down to speed up - ensure the foundation is solid before you build the house. In this talk by Starburst CEO Justin Borgman, and Head of Partner Solutions Architecture, Data & Analytics - AI/ML, Subodh Kumar from AWS, you'll learn about the essential data foundations for AI success. The foundation, the plumbing, and the framing that will set businesses up for AI success.

Join Netflix' Kishore Banala for a deep-dive into strategies for building custom analytics solutions. From data collection approaches, to the nuances of real-time vs batch data movement, to leveraging columnar data stores tailored for analytical use cases, Kishore will provide practical examples and case studies such as identifying unique site visitors. We'll conclude with a look at the art of visualizing data with open-source tools that empower you to create compelling visualizations. Come along for insights and suggestions drawn from practical experience in building large scale analytics solutions.

This session explores the technological advancements of analytics, data science, machine learning, AI, and quantum computing. Beginning with an overview of the historical development and current state of these technologies. LexisNexis' Flavio Villanustre will explore how analytics has transformed industries; how data science extracts valuable insights, how machine learning has moved from simple rule-based systems to today's deep learning models; and how quantum computing promises to solve previously intractable problems at speeds unattainable by classical computers.

Attendees will learn about the benefits and associated risks of each technology: Increases in efficiency, productivity, and innovation juxtaposed against vulnerabilities in privacy, security, bias, and wider societal concerns such as unemployment. These competing issues underscore the need for responsible, ethical research and deployment of such tools.
