The state of the art and practice for AI and Machine Learning (ML) has matured rapidly in the past few years, making it an ideal time to take a look at what works and what doesn’t.

 In this webinar, we will present an overview of AI-infused applications in two industries:

• Manufacturing
  
• Retail
  

Participants will learn to look for characteristics of business processes and of data that make them well - or ill - suited to AI-augmentation or automation.
