How do we move AI from trialling to transforming? With Sanjeev Arya and Sam Roddick

What's the difference between an interesting experiment and a game-changing asset?

It's deciding to make the leap from one to the other. It's knowing that now is the right time to go from starting out to scaling up. And that's where a lot of businesses currently find themselves with their approach to AI.

With 78% of organisations using AI in at least one area of their business, the curiosity phase is over. Businesses have trialled and reported and trialled some more, and leaders have seen how using AI isn't just about doing things quickly - it's about unlocking competitive advantages, encouraging innovation and delivering value to every layer of a business.

But growing a pilot test into a project that embeds AI securely, responsibly and profitably across an entire business is no easy feat.

So, what can we learn from those who've turned successful introductions into successful integrations? How do senior leaders build the right infrastructure and culture to support widespread AI adoption? And what does it mean to truly transform a business with AI?

That's what we're exploring with Senior Leader from NVIDIA and Sam Roddick, Global Chief of Strategy for Consulting Services at Deloitte, as we ask: How do we move from trialling to transforming?

• The two timelines businesses need to plan for in their AI strategy
