The field of Artificial Intelligence isn’t new, but business interest has grown significantly due to the success of Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Chatbots, Natural Language interfaces (think of Alexa and Siri) and automated customer service applications. Recent surveys show that 80% of executives believe AI boosts corporate productivity, and the adoption of AI is expected to grow to a $10 Billion market by the end of 2025. But AI projects aren’t simple, and an experienced project manager is more critical than ever for a successful project.
In this presentation we will discuss:
• What is Artificial Intelligence and why are businesses so interested now?
• What do you need to know about AI and where can you learn it?
• How to add AI skills to your career -- the five steps to transformation
• Where to find your first AI project even if you have no experience
