Generative AI Week 2023 Day Two: Wednesday,18 October 2023

10:25 AM Panel Discussion: Considerations for Large-Scale Deployment

We all understand the power of generative AI & we are still a long way from large scale deployment becoming mainstream, but there is no doubt that every business should be utilizing it in some capacity. Questions arise however, when we delve into the logistics: which capacity and how should we practically go about this without any problems arising. When you are deploying generative AI into production on a large-scale within an enterprise that has real world implications, you need to be exact and you need to prove that it’s the right strategy for your business.

·       What challenges specifically do we want to be addressed and how can we realistically utilize generative AI for these?

·       What internal changes do we need to implement? Who will be doing this?

·       How can we mitigate any problems arising with large-scale deployment?

·       How can we balance cautiousness and innovation?
