IDC AI Roadshow 2024

The tech industry is at a seminal moment. The combination of executive and board level interest, clearly defined outcomes, and the sheer speed of adoption makes AI unlike anything we have seen before. Additionally, over the last two years, Generative AI has captured the attention, imagination, and concern of most tech and business leaders across the world. Today, with the demonstrably increased power of AI, whether it is interpretive, predictive, or Generative AI, organizations can use this technology to identify and capture meaningful insights from their data, leading to better productivity and operational efficiencies, and to deliver superior customer experience while increasing revenue and reducing cost. In this session, IDC will provide its perspective on the organizational strategies and initiatives that enable successful infusion of AI into business and how AI helps organizations deliver incremental business value.

Generative AI promises a leap in productivity and the emergence of new modes of work and creativity, but how do organizations harness this power? The key to success lies in adoption of a use case-driven approach that focuses on leveraging generative AI to solve specific problems.

Data science and analytics are being used at a rapidly growing scale to improve data quality, enhance team processes, make better decisions, unlock new opportunities, create new business models, and contribute to larger data monetization initiatives. At the same time, cloud computing and AI are being used widely in key areas such as inventory management, purchasing, finance, and production.

In an era of rapid digital transformation, organizations are embracing new technologies to drive innovation and efficiency. However, this digital evolution also brings increased cybersecurity challenges. This presentation will explore how AI-driven solutions are revolutionizing cybersecurity by providing predictive and adaptive defenses against a dynamic threat landscape. It will highlight the power of harnessing AI algorithms to proactively identify and neutralize threats across the expanded digital landscape of IT, OT, and IoT environments. Join us for an engaging discussion that will uncover the synergy between AI, digital transformation, and cybersecurity. Discover how AI-powered strategies not only safeguard your digital journey but also drive your organization's success in the ever-evolving digital landscape.

The talk emphasizes that the era of generative AI has only just begun. As enterprises across the globe begin to explore and integrate these technologies, the potential for innovation, efficiency, and creativity is boundless. By responsibly leveraging generative AI, organizations can not only solve complex problems but also envision and realize solutions that were previously unimaginable, marking a new chapter in the digital revolution. This talk aims to inspire enterprises to embrace generative AI as a game-changer, unlocking new possibilities and driving forward into a future where human ingenuity and artificial intelligence collaborate to create a more innovative, efficient, and interconnected world.

Digital businesses are essentially data-driven enterprises, and the ability to leverage data analytics to deliver business outcomes and industry use cases across customer engagement and operations is a key competitive differentiator. AI and GenAI are rapidly enabling and accelerating these initiatives. At the same time, a focus on data organization, management and governance is critical to supporting AI. Building an enterprise intelligence architecture, that encapsulates data engineering, data analytics and decision making, and provides governance becomes imperative for the future AI-enabled enterprise.
