Achieving Digital Impact with “State-of-the-art” Deep Learning

Deep Learning has enabled many practical applications of Artificial Intelligence in today’s digital organizations. Deep learning breaks down tasks in ways that makes all kinds of machine aids seem possible, even likely. Driverless cars, better image recognition, more effective medical diagnoses, AI-generated art, even better language models, are all here today. Mr. Perez will identify what organizations need to do today to embrace the future, starting with the basics: empowering their employees and turbocharging the organization’s digital transformation strategy. Organizations then can then launch pilots for the most promising opportunities, leveraging “state of the art” cases from today’s global innovators such as Google, OpenAI, Meta, Apple and Tesla. Mr. Perez will show organizations how to kick start their digital impact transformation.

The Artificial Intelligence Breakthroughs that are Changing the Digital World

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been referred as the general ability of computers to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings. Through a comprehensive review of the latest breakthroughs, including AI-generated content, Mr. Perez will offer his insights on how these advancements will impact businesses and the human race in general for years to come, and more specifically, how companies can leverage the plethora of available resources to start their digital transformation and implement solutions to formerly intractable problems. Mr. Perez will reveal why AI is the present and the future.

Managing the Upcoming Tsunami of Unstructured Data with Artificial Intelligence

The Internet of Things (IoT) explosion will see 75 billion connected devices deployed by 2025. The volumes of data generated will become a tsunami that firms will need to digitalize. Unfortunately, most firms only look at the easy information they can get from structured data while ignoring their unstructured data, which accounts for 90 percent of content generated globally, making unstructured data a tremendous source of untapped value. Artificial Intelligence is making it possible and affordable to sift through and find digital meaning in vast amounts of unstructured data obtained from video, audio, emails, logs, social media posts and IoT devices. All of this data can bring about enormous benefits; Mr. Perez will show organizations how to reap these benefits today.

The Rise of the AI Content Writer

In the past, content creation was a time-consuming and laborious process. But now, AI-powered content writers can create high-quality content in a fraction of the time. This is having a major impact on the content industry, as businesses are increasingly turning to AI to create their content. This trend is only going to continue in the future, as AI-powered content writers become more sophisticated. In this talk, Mr. Perez will explore the rise of the AI content writer and its impact on the content industry. He will discuss the benefits of using AI to create content, as well as the challenges that businesses need to be aware of. Finally, he will also look at the future of AI-generated content and how it is likely to transform the way we consume information.
