Title: The compelling case for incorporating AI in community care delivery

​

The bulk of what you hear about AI might be hype. But the part that isn’t, it’s enough to reinvent your company and career. In this talk I’ll explore strategies small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) can use to harness the benefits of AI and mitigate the risks. My conceptualisation of the AI strategy challenge involves three pillars – adoption, adaption and governance. I’ll look at how you can work through these to get AI humming away productively in the background. A science and technology revolution has placed powerful tools at your fingertips. Now the hard part. Putting these tools to work.
