AI: Real Value or Bullsh*t?

If you listen to the news, AI sure seems like a big deal. But it’s very expensive and hasn’t always delivered the return its customers expect. This keynote will explore AI from the customer’s perspective: should you lean into enterprise AI, or should you hold back?

What is the future of enterprise software now that anybody can code anything? What questions should you ask to determine where AI is right for you, if at all? And, of course, is it all just bullsh*t?
