The super-fast advancement in AI often makes me look back and ponder how far we’ve come. And by looking at the path we took to get here, sometimes we can project forward and see where we are heading. Not too long ago, we were still locked down due to the …more
In my previous blog post, I shared that I was very honored to be chosen as one of the 60 leaders on AI from all around the world to contribute to a very unique e-book, called 60 Leaders on AI. Each of the 60 thought leaders was asked to pick …more
In 2021, I was privileged to be invited to contribute to an e-book: 60 Leaders on AI. This e-book was put together by George Krasadakis, a seasoned innovation expert with over 20 years of experience working with technology startups, consulting firms, and large corporations. He is the author of the …more
Last week I had the pleasure of giving a masterclass on generative AI (GenAI) as a keynote at DMX, the annual National Digital Conference organized by the Marketing Institute of Ireland (MII). This year, the conference was hosted at one of the new campuses of the Technological University Dublin (TU …more
There is absolutely no doubt that AI is going to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of work. Some even said that AI’s impact will be as significant as the steam engine, electricity, and digital computer, and it will catalyze the next industrial revolution as these technologies had …more
The global interest level for AI is off the chart, especially generative AI (GenAI). So April is going to be a very busy month for me, since I will be traveling pretty much the entire month. I am really excited about my trip to Sofia, as it will be the …more
DMX 2023 Last year (March 2023), I was invited to give a keynote at DMX, the national digital conference organized by the Marketing Institute of Ireland (MII). It was a great event with about ~450 marketing professionals (e.g. students, practitioners, managers, and senior leaders). Among the keynote presenters were representatives …more
Although I’m new to the Aviation Festivals, PROS has consistently demonstrated its commitment to the aviation industry by establishing a longstanding strategic partnership and sponsorship at this event. This enduring collaboration showcases PROS’ dedication to fostering technological innovation, industry growth, and aviation sustainability. Last September (2023), I participated in the …more
One of the most enriching aspects of a lived conference is often found outside the formal sessions in what’s affectionately known as the “Hallway Track.”
Most business use cases of GenAI in the enterprise setting are centered around productivity. But can GenAI help drive profitability beyond just mere productivity? This is precisely the conversation I had with Mike Fauscette.
As 2023 was an inflection point for AI awareness there is a lot of hype about this decades-old technology that has already gone through 2 “AI winters.” That means AI has essentially been through 2 hype cycles already, and it’s again hyped up for the third time now. Will this be just another hype, or this time is different?
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and are ready to welcome the exciting new year of 2024. I apologize for being a bit slow with my blog over the past couple of weeks, as this is the only time of the year when I have time to travel back …more
Ever since 2020, there is an acceleration of the shift to digital commerce. Amongst B2B and B2C sales alike, buying and selling are increasingly operating with a digital-first mindset. Originally, this shift was a containment response to the pandemic. Years later, today, it has evolved into a strategic move to …more
Nyenrodians, I hope you enjoyed this guest lecture as much as I did. I hope this GenAI lecture on steroids helped boost some of your AI muscles by making you almost an expert on GenAI. Now that you know enough to be dangerous, please do something with it.
The current macroeconomic conditions significantly accelerated digital transformation. Companies are adopting advanced digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) to compete more effectively in this increasingly digital economy, so knowledge of how to leverage AI effectively is crucial for survival. This presentation provides a deep, yet intuitive understanding of what …more
To most laymen, the work of data scientists is a form of digital alchemy. They distill huge volumes of data into bits of information and insights that are extremely valuable to businesses. Although there are many tasks that data scientists do, few can call themselves true data scientists without knowledge …more
As data scientists, we often treat the data given to us as the raw input. We seldom question where the data came from and how it was collected. Where did these pre-existing inherited biases come from, and can they be eliminated?
In the midst of today’s turbulent geopolitical dynamics and the ever-fluctuating landscape of macroeconomics, emerging technologies such as ChatGPT have sparked a glimmer of hope and ignited the flames of innovation. Aside from setting the record for having the fastest user-growth rate, ChatGPT has captured the public’s attention and curiosity …more
Emergent biases are not inherited from the training data. That means these biases can still emerge even when we have trained the machine-learning (ML) algorithms with a cleansed data set with no known biases.
AI bias problem is currently being thought of as a data problem. And to a large extent, if we can fix the biased data, we would’ve addressed most of the AI biases. However, not all biases are bad. In fact, biases are often introduced in training data to improve the performance of the trained model.
