VP and Sr. Research Director

TDWI

In this keynote, Fern Halper, Ph.D., VP of Research at TDWI, will discuss the current state of AI and machine learning (ML) adoption across organizations. TDWI has been tracking the AI/ML space for many years, and while survey results about implementation plans suggest that AI adoption should stand at 75%, the reality is much lower.

Halper will explore where companies are today in terms of their AI/ML initiatives, how prepared they are for widespread AI implementation, and what adoption patterns are emerging. She will discuss how AI is being embedded into both data management and analytics tools to help move the needle forward. She will also highlight strategies for success that can help organizations overcome common hurdles and accelerate their AI journey—and offer practical insights for staying competitive in this rapidly evolving space.

Topics include:

• The current state of AI readiness: challenges and opportunities
• Popular use cases for AI and ML for those organizations deploying the technology
• How augmented technology is being used across organizations for data management and analytics
• Best practices for getting started and succeeding with AI
