#64: DEEPakAI goes to Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo
Deepak Seth
Actionable and Objective Insights - Data, Analytics and Artificial Intelligence
Just back from Gartner's flagship IT Symposium/Expo at Orlando. Quite a whirlwind of activities over 4 action-packed days. The energy was palpable right at the outset as our CEO Gene Hall kicked it off for us in a "pre-game show".
The pinnacle of my experience was the forty 30-minute one-on-one interactions with key clients and prospects, all centered around the transformative power of AI. These face-to-face meetings offered a rare and invaluable opportunity to share actionable insights while gaining an intimate understanding of their most pressing concerns, challenges, and triumphs.
Although I frequently engage with them through Zoom and Teams, sitting side by side brought a new level of authenticity to our discussions, making "Artificial" Intelligence feel profoundly more real. (Forgive the pun, but it's true.)
Moreover, it was incredibly humbling to witness my work being showcased on one of the world's most prestigious technology stages by some of our most distinguished thought leaders.

3 周I am curious to know about the checks and balances that would be added in AI before a User uses such data / insights for something important which is proved incorrect later such as the fictitious legal cases quoted by AI.
