Abstract: 

Business leaders desire data driven insights to help improve customer experience. Data engineers, data scientists, and software developers desire a self-service, cloud-like experience to access tools/frameworks, data, and compute resources anywhere to collaborate, build, and scale. This keynote will highlight AI/ML use cases, execution challenges, and tools to help accelerate AI/ML projects from pilot to production, and accelerate delivery of intelligent applications. Finally, the session will share real world success stories across a number of open source projects led by Red Hat, including Open Data Hub.
