Opportunities made possible through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and analytics were brought to life at the annual AI Roadshow hosted by analytics company SAS at Hyatt Regency in Rosebank on 30 May. Business people, media and civil stakeholders attended the event which helped them gain insight into the current state of the analytics market in South Africa and how analytics, cloud and AI could be leveraged for business value. Speakers at the event included SAS South Africa country manager Akesh Lalla and IDC SA senior research manager for cloud and IT services Jon Tullett, among others. Keynote speaker and business philosopher Anders Indset began the event by encouraging delegates to think, ask questions and put people first in order to gain real value out of technology such as AI and use it to solve problems. Indset aims to show leaders how to cope with the 21st century by bridging the philosophy of the past with the technology and science of the future.
