Deploying Enterprise-Scale AI to Drive Operational Efficiencies

Abstract:
The power of artificial intelligence (AI) offers the biggest potential for true business transformation. AI can impact all aspects of operational efficiencies but also extends beyond that to help organizations re-imagine and redefine their businesses. BakerHughesC3.ai delivers the industry-leading BHC3 AI Suite, a platform to build enterprise scale AI applications 40x to 100x faster than alternative approaches. The core of the BHC3.ai offering is a revolutionary, model-driven AI architecture that dramatically enhances data science and application development. The BHC3 AI Suite also delivers pre-built, configurable, high-value AI applications including BHC3 Reliability that offers the ability to identify process anomalies and predict equipment breakdowns. Join us in this session to learn about enterprise-scale AI deployments to enable digital transformation, and gain insight on the Reliability application with its impact on operational efficiencies.
