Getting Value From A.I.

Data Science

In February 2023, our Chief Data Scientist, Jon Krohn, delivered this keynote on “Getting Value from A.I.” to open the second day of Hg Capital’s “Digital Forum” in London.

With a focus on B2B SaaS applications, over 45 minutes Jon covered:

  1. What Deep Learning A.I. is, and How it Works
  2. Tasks that are Replaceable with A.I. vs Tasks that can be Augmented
  3. How to Effectively Implement A.I. Research into Production

The audience engagement was terrific and the on-stage Q&A carried on afterward for an energizing 20 additional minutes. All of it is captured in this video that was slickly-edited by Hg’s video-production team.
