There’s no doubt that you have heard about Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI & ML), but are you leveraging it in your business?
Whether you know it or not, you rely on AI & ML every day. From the way you open your phone with face ID, to finding you the most direct route to work and filtering spam from your emails, it’s everywhere.
AI & ML make life easier, it saves us time and money by automating and optimising routine processes and tasks. It increases productivity and operational efficiencies, helps to avoid human error and make faster business decisions based on outputs from technologies, so the question is…if you don’t already, why aren’t you using it in your business?
Showcase SA has partnered with AWS to deliver you a full day seminar to help you realise how you can leverage AI & ML to elevate your business.
It’s important to note that you don’t need to be from the IT department or have big data or technical experience to benefit from this event, it is for anyone looking to learn from real business examples.
Your ticket includes entry to the full day seminar at the stunning Events at SkyCity and a 2-course lunch.
