Friendship, Restaurant Ventures, and Focusing on Data and Machine Learning

Alexandra Diem, PhD, has extensive experience in the field of AI, machine learning, and cloud analytics. Alexandra currently holds the position of Head of Cloud Analytics and MLOps at Gjensidige. Large Language Models have taken the world by storm. But what are the real use cases? What are the challenges in productionizing them? In this event, you will hear from practitioners about how they are dealing with things such as cost optimization, latency requirements, trust of output, and debugging. You will also get the opportunity to join workshops that will teach you how to set up your use cases and skip over all the headaches.
