The emergence of pre-trained deep learning models – e.g., Foundation and generative AI models – such as GPT-4, represents a paradigm shift in the utilization of AI. This keynote, rooted in the insights from "AI iQ™ for a Human-Focused Future," explores the profound differences between implementing these state-of-the-art pre-trained models and traditional machine learning/AI approaches. Find out why the ‘xOps’ paradigm is a fallacy, why the unique technical and operational challenges necessitate sophisticated data and model observability and the imperative for advanced and specialized computational infrastructure to support the intensive demands of these models.

We delve into the strategic considerations surrounding data governance, ethical AI use, and the integration of AI into business processes, underscoring the need for a comprehensive framework that encompasses technological implementation and alignment with organizational goals and values. The discussion extends to the critical role of having a single leader for AI – the Chief AI Officer.

Through a blend of strategic insights and practical examples, this presentation offers a roadmap for businesses looking to navigate the complexities of integrating these models. It provides actionable strategies for building the infrastructure, culture, and processes necessary to harness the transformative potential of these technologies, driving innovation, efficiency, and growth in the digital era. Join us to explore how your organization can transition from traditional AI methodologies to leveraging the power of generative models and observability ensuring a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving corporate landscape.
