Moran Cerf
Academic Director in Executive Education and Adjunct Professor of Business: Marketing Division
AI seems to be everywhere now. Yet, the #1 question when talking to boards/experts and even AI technologists is: “what do I actually do with this AI thing that really changes my business”. In this talk, Professor Cerf will go over ways non-AI organizations can leverage the power of AI, ways to choose an AI use-case and implementation, the type of questions that are commonly asked about AI (and the corresponding answers), and some predictions on the future of AI.
