AI for Business Summit

The current artificial intelligence (AI) landscape presents an opportunity for businesses to achieve a significant breakthrough in productivity and competitiveness amidst a challenging economic environment and talent shortages. As per the Philippine’s Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), AI adoption can increase Philippine gross domestic product (GDP) by 12% by 2030, or equivalent to US$92 billion based on research estimates.

However, even as the use cases of AI are manifold, Philippine businesses are overwhelmed, underprepared, and unsure how to profit from AI. Join us for the ‘AI for Business Summit’ on 5th December in partnership with IBM Philippines, wherein we will deep dive into global AI and Automation practices and industry use cases from top IBM experts.

Key discussion points

  • Deploy other major business solutions in DX, Observability, & Governance
  • Dive deep into the impact of evolving Data and Automation on Philippine enterprises
  • Discover IBM’s pivotal solutions for AI use cases for business, IBM watsonx and AIOps portfolio
  • Learn best-in-class practices for AI deployment
  • Network with key IBM experts
