Description
In February 2023, I delivered this keynote on "Getting Value from A.I." to open the second day of Hg Capital's "Digital Forum" in London. With a focus on B2B SaaS applications, over 45 minutes I covered: 1. What Deep Learning A.I. is and How it Works 2. Tasks that are Replaceable with A.I. vs Tasks that can be Augmented 3. How to Effectively Implement A.I. Research into Production The audience engagement was terrific and the on-stage Q&A carried on afterward for an energizing 20 additional minutes. All of it is captured in this video that was slickly-edited by Hg's video-production team. Slides are available at jonkrohn.com/talks For even more of my thoughts on A.I., you can check out the Episode 27 of Hg's "Orbit" podcast. This fun half-hour episode was recorded in London at the same conference: https://hgcapital.com/insight/what-does-ai-mean-to-you-amr-ellaban-speaks-to-jon-krohn/
