AI Builders Meetup #1 | Afterwork
The 5% Club: Engineering AI for Real-World Production
Recent data from MIT reveals a sobering reality: while global enterprise investment in Artificial Intelligence has reached record highs, 95% of AI pilots fail to move into production or deliver a measurable return on investment.
This edition of AI Builders Meetup goes deep on the AI Divide: the growing gap between companies running shiny pilot after shiny pilot and those building AI that actually works at scale.
The 5% Club is what we call the teams that have figured it out. And at this AI Builders Meetup afterwork, we are bringing some of them into the room.
Joining us on stage:
Anna Olsson, COO and Co-Founder, Intelecy
Thomas Kvalvåg, Senior IT Technology Advisor, Kyndryl
Joachim Jacobsen, Head of Business Development, Telenor AI Factory
