between languages

an application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that
provides systems the ability to automatically learn
and improve from experience without being
explicitly programmed

11. Deep Learning
part of a broader family of Machine Learning based
on learning data representations, as opposed to task
specific algorithms

12. Robotic Process
Automation (RPA)
the application of technology that allows a person to
configure computer software or a robot to capture
and interpret existing applications for processing a
transaction, manipulating data, triggering
responses, and communicating with other digital
systems

13. Cognitive Automation
brings together a variety of Artificial Intelligence
(AI), Machine Learning, and Robotic Process
Automation (RPA) to enable organizations to
emulate and enhance the strength of the
human mind

and universities to gain knowledge and
get ahead on the
Artificial Intelligence curve

20. Create an environment for your teams

Intelligence concepts and technologies

feed it” - BYRON REESE

capabilities able to deliver data at the
speed of business you are wasting your
time with Artificial Intelligence

23. Understand your audience and
communicate about Artificial
Intelligence from a business value
perspective – not a technical
perspective

Technology’s Value Comes From Doing Business
Differently Because Technology Made It Possible

scratches the surface of what can be done. It
will become so ubiquitous that we won't
even call it AI anymore” - BABAK HODJAT
