AIB CIO Tim Hynes explains how AI can help CIOs now and in the future

Allied Irish Bank CIO Tim Hynes has seen many emerging technologies reach the hype cycle's peak during his IT career, now well into its third decade. Their history tells him that artificial intelligence will only reach its potential if it's promoted and applied to realistic scenarios. "Artificial intelligence feels a little bit like a gold rush event," said Hynes at the AI Congress London. "That doesn't mean there's not value in it. What it does mean is that if you're going to get real value, you have to be pragmatic."
