Session Description
This year’s summit, titled “Gen AI: Experimentation to transformation” will explore the transformative journey of Generative AI in enterprise. While 2024 marked a breakout year for Generative AI adoption—with 81% of telecom companies testing the technology—scaling these innovations to full production remains a key challenge.
At the 2025 Gen AI Summit, we will convene CEOs, CTOs, and AI leaders to address these challenges and uncover opportunities for scaling Gen AI across enterprises.
Key Discussion Areas:
- Practical applications of Generative AI in enterprise.
- The foundations of successful Gen AI implementations.
- Strategies for moving from pilots to full-scale deployments.
- Unlocking enterprise potential through scaled Gen AI solutions.
