Abstract: 

Artificial intelligence (AI) can transform products, customer experiences, and entire business models. But data architecture, deep learning, natural language processing, and so on are only part of the AI journey. Putting AI to work requires a holistic view, from the way you incorporate data science into your organization, to the approach you take to product and experience design, to the makeup of the teams who execute your strategy.

Entrusted with the rich financial data of 50 million customers, Intuit is in a unique position to take advantage of AI to help solve some of the biggest financial pain points for consumers and small businesses. Drawing upon real-world experiences at Intuit, Ashok Srivastava explains how to make your organization AI ready, determine the right AI applications for your business and products, and accelerate your AI efforts with speed and scale.
