The SPIBA Innovation and Intelligent Systems Committee is hosting a meeting to discuss the practical use of enterprise AI and its key specifics.
Companies are increasingly using generative AI to find information faster, prepare documents and respond to requests from customers and employees. At the same time, most of them are not ready to transfer internal documents, commercial data and personal information to external public services. That is why businesses are choosing corporate AI assistants deployed in a closed perimeter: on the company's own servers or on the servers of a trusted partner.
Such an assistant is built on a RAG architecture, uses an internal knowledge base and answers based on up-to-date documents. The data remains under the organization's control.
At the meeting, we will talk about practice.
Representatives of business and education will share their projects: what they managed to implement, what results they achieved and what difficulties they faced during implementation.
Who is it for
Company owners and executives, digital transformation and IT directors, heads of customer services, HR and internal communications.
It is especially useful for those who are already considering implementing AI and want to do it safely and with measurable results.
Format
After each presentation, the speakers will answer questions. Then participants will be able to continue the conversation in an open discussion and talk with the speakers in an informal setting.
