Architecting the road to AI success: Reflecting on the Gartner Symposium Panel

Last Tuesday, I had the privilege of leading an insightful conversation at the Gartner IT Symposium with a badass panel of AI technologists – Hillery Hunter, Hilary Mason and Margaret Dawson – about the obstacles that organizations need to overcome if they are to successfully implement AI. The foundation of our panel discussion was based on a study that we recently commissioned to understand how enterprise executives are approaching AI. I will share more of the research in coming weeks, but one big takeaway is that companies that see results from AI are keeping AI capabilities at the core of the business. While most organizations are still experimental, we are seeing a strong correlation between organizations with highly dedicated on-premise AI capabilities to high performance, measurable ROI and less failure. Net-net, on-prem AI capabilities and solutions are fulfilling the AI hype.
