AI or Die

How was an air transport industry giant persuaded to invest heavily in AI? This intimate Breakfast Briefing is a revealing insight into how, why, where, and when to deploy AI for maximum impact.

We all know that AI is going to change our world. Its impact is certain to be profound and permanent. But where do you start with AI? How do you prioritise projects to optimise impact? And who do you trust to deliver… where can you find the expertise and experience to drive real value from AI?

These are serious, cross-industry, business-critical questions. So, to answer them, we are flying a thought-leading AI practitioner from Geneva to be the guest speaker at our next senior executive Breakfast Briefing.

Stephane Cheikh graduated from Harvard and went on to study real-world AI applications with MIT. In 2017, he was appointedto head-up the Artificial Intelligence programme at SITA – the global provider of airport and aircraft operations… passenger processing… baggage management… business intelligence… cyber security as well as IT and data services to 90% of the world’s airlines.

Stephane will share his fascinating journey. He will explain how he broke down global barriers to access, share and monetise siloed data. He will describe how he uses NLP, machine learning and computer vision to obviate the misery of lost luggage and to improve the speed and efficiency of stand allocations for aircraft. He will also share his ambitious plans to:

Analyse customer sentiments in social media and personalise the entire UX
Track assets and manage complex, time-critical logistical challenges
Balance passenger flows and congestion pressure points against security priorities
Predict disruptionsand possible outcomes before they impact.

But this AI masterclass is just the start. Stephane will be the catalyst to a wide-ranging discussion around our private breakfast table. Under the confidentiality of Chatham House rules, the ten invited senior executives can then talk openly about their AI experiences… it’s a unique and hugely valuable forum.

If you are a ‘C’ level executive with responsibility for – or a keen interest in – AI, please book your free seat at our breakfast briefing now. With only ten places available at the table, it is certain to be over-subscribed.
