Artificial Intelligence for Disciplined Agilists: Are You Ready?
|
Description |
|
|
Artificial intelligence (AI) is finally coming into its own. Technologies such as ChatGPT, DALL-E, driver-assistance, and autonomous robots are clear signs of an AI-driven market shift. AI technologies are being applied in all sectors of the economy, and your organization is likely to be soon experimenting with AI if it isn’t already working with it. Are you ready?
This talk overviews AI and how AI-based solutions are developed, including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and semi-supervised learning. The talk discusses the similarities to non-AI development that will help agilists to transition to AI teams. We also explore several critical challenges, including: the experimental nature of AI solutions; that data quality is critical to your success; the high failure rate of AI initiatives; and the ethical considerations surrounding AI. We examine the implications of these challenges and work through strategies to address them. |
