Weathering the Storm: AI Readiness in Regulated Industries
Regulated industries and agencies today fundamentally impact lives and livelihoods. Artificial intelligence is a partner in this fight, offering indispensable capabilities to reach constituents and improve communities in the practical-tactical “today” horizon if prepared. However, many organizations face the challenges of siloed operations, manual processes, and disjointed technology while adhering to regulatory standards. This keynote focuses on the required steps for effective AI adoption, ethical considerations, and use cases to augment their teams. Attendees will take away insights into the current and future utility of AI, as well as the foundation needed to harness it responsibly.
