ABOUT

There are many myths about AI: that you need to hire elusive Stanford PhDs, that you need big data and millions of dollars worth of computers, and that only a select few can actually use AI. These are all false. In this talk, I will share how AI is being effectively used by people across a range of domains, with a much lower barrier to entry than you might expect. In fact, domain expertise is still incredibly valuable, and those with deep knowledge of your domain are best positioned to apply AI.
