SYNOPSIS

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming a mainstream topic of conversation. However, many participants in that conversation lack a good understanding of what AI really is and the reality of developing AI for production. 

Ahmad Alokush, Founder of Ahmadeus Technology Boutique Inc., will introduce NY SPIN to this growing new frontier. Ahmad will summarize what AI is and what it is not.  He will show you how you could solve a hypothetical business problem, choosing from among two major branches of AI: machine learning or neural networks.  This includes a summary of technical steps involved, and an approach to process improvement.  He will discuss what kinds of projects lend themselves to solutions with AI and what kinds of projects do not. Finally, he will cut through the hype of some common misconceptions about what AI is for. 

This talk is for you if you are a CTO, Solutions Architect, Product Developer, Technical Project Manager, Business Analyst, and anyone else curious about AI, its promise, and its risks. There will be ample time for questions from the audience.
