The current AI marketplace is crowded with startups and established technology providers, each vying for attention offering a bewildering array of features.
For business leaders, the real challenge lies not in the availability of options, but in choosing a solution that genuinely supports strategic goals and day-to-day operational needs.
It is all too easy to be influenced by hype or surface-level features, rather than focusing on long-term value and alignment with business priorities.
In this webinar, we explore:
- A practical methodology: for identifying AI tools that support your business requirements
- The value of open source: in enabling flexibility and control when working with different AI and LLM technologies
- How to approach AI governance: and responsibly delegate tasks to automated systems
- Evidence-based insights: and actionable guidance to support confident decision-making
