Artificial Intelligence is only just beginning. Given all the innovations taking place — from composite AI to neuromorphic hardware — and concerns about the responsible use of AI, how will AI continue to impact your organization and society? In this presentation we will discuss seven future AI scenarios, providing insights about what to focus on in the short term and what to realistically expect in the long term.

AI holds great promise in the fight against global warming. Recent advances in AI open the door to new approaches for logistics optimization at the ecosystem scale, reducing energy consumption and waste in manufacturing, inventing sustainable materials and many other innovations. Although no miracle cure exists, both society and companies cannot permit themselves to ignore the incredible potential power of AI to face the most complex and most pressing issue of our time.

Competitive decision-making in the digital age must be contextual, continuous and connected. Silo data, silo decisions and silo mentality are not cutting it in today's global and highly interconnected business ecosystems. But how to overcome these and other hurdles? Which capabilities are needed? How do AI, decision modeling, real-time analytics, data fabrics and optimization come together in decision intelligence, the next big thing in data & analytics?

Decision thinking improves the way BI, analytics and AI are used in business decision-making. This interactive session will discuss attendee questions on trends, industry standards and best practices.
How do data and analytics teams support different kinds of business decisions?
Which vendors are delivering innovative decision intelligence tools?
Are business rule engines obsolete?

Society is polarizing, people live in filter bubbles, and business is suffering as a result. The social fracture can be witnessed all around us. It might come as a surprise to D&A leaders how incredibly relevant this is to D&A as well. In this keynote, we'll explore four provocative scenarios on how society could turn, and what D&A leaders must do to adapt to this situation, and succeed in the process.
