Deep Dive: Scaling in the age of AI

What you'll learn
Artificial intelligence continues to have a massive impact on the world of business.
As a technology scale-up, how can you leverage ever-improving generative AI systems to move faster, think bigger, and act bolder?
It's not just about automating mundane tasks to increase productivity, it's also about deciding on the proper strategy, selecting the right tools and maximising them, and anchoring AI deep into business processes in order to propel growth.
By leveraging predictive analytics and real-time insights, you can make smarter decisions as founders and respond swiftly to market changes, giving them a significant strategic advantage. AI-driven personalization and automation enable the creation of seamless products and more efficient operations. Additionally, AI improves efficiency, customer insights, risk management, and talent optimization.
