Domain driven AI: Data driven decision making in a post-model world Oculus Lecture Room, OC1.05

Who will profit from the Generative AI gold rush? Oculus Lecture Room, OC1.05

The Generative AI gold rush is truly under way with billions being poured into an explosion of start-ups aiming to disrupt industries, such as computer coding, law, marketing, media and gaming. Meanwhile, Big Tech giants are fiercely competing to position themselves as the go-to infrastructure. So who will strike it rich? And how will governments and society navigate the adoption and regulation of this ground-breaking technology? Find out more in this keynote address. This session will be introduced by Dr Mo Moeini, Associate Professor and Course Director (Global Online MBA - Warwick).

With the explosive growth of large language models, in many cases the emphasis for data science work and data-driven decision-making moves from building models to designing prompts and “chaining” AI requests. This talk aims to explore what implications this may have for the modern organisation and proposes a model of domain-driven data enrichment as a collaborative effort of data professionals and subject matter experts. This session will be introduced by Dr Mo Moeini, Associate Professor and Course Director (Global Online MBA - Warwick).
