Enterprise analytics will trend toward a $70 billion market in 2019, now that business users everywhere are demanding immediate, universal access to data and reporting. With the advent of AI, data access and accuracy are being improved even more. But AI also brings with it responsibilities around governance, privacy and protocol. So on one hand, AI is helping prepping clean, rich data -- for example auto-completing or correcting data where it does not exist or is wrong, or even auto-suggesting reporting dashboards, equipping decision-makers to understand what reports to follow and what the data is telling them. On the other hand, this speed and cornucopia that AI provides brings with it a new urgency to make sure that data is all safe, especially given heightened attention across industries to concerns around privacy, bias, and fairness.

It’s do or die time: According to Gartner, the global business value from AI leapt by 70 percent last year, to $1.2 trillion, and it will triple to $3.9 trillion in 2022. So enterprises interested in getting on the AI train should jump now -- before you lose some major competitive advantages.

Of course, the biggest challenge for enterprise companies is figuring out the build versus buy question. There’s the build-in-house model of AI implementation, with open-source toolkits and expensive, but essential new hires. The number of startups offering full-service consultation, with set-up and service is proliferating, but who do you choose, and what do you pay for? And somewhere in between those options there’s the artificial intelligence as a service (AIaaS) approach — and again, the field of vendors is crowded with options.

There’s no easy, one-size-fits-all answer — but there are experts with real insight into how to identify your business needs, and where to get started implementing AI in the most cost-effective, profitable way possible for your enterprise. To get up front and personal with pros in the trenches now, register now for this VB Live event!

You'll learn:
*How to identify your AI needs
*How to identify your decision criteria
*The pros and cons of build and buy, and the best situations for each
*How to get a handle on the true costs of both build and buy

Social networks today are undergoing a massive paradigm shift when it comes to content moderation. From tragic shootings broadcast live on Facebook, to YouTube removing comments on children's videos due to child predator concerns, social platforms are under fire from users, governments, and law enforcement to adopt better technology and strengthen their content moderation practices.

It’s not all bad news. Business leaders have also realized that accurate, efficient moderation, coupled with positive reinforcement, can increase user retention and encourage growth.

But who is responsible for enforcing these policies and practices? How did hate speech, abuse, and extremism become the "cost of being online"? And how can like-minded businesses band together to raise the bar and make their social platforms engaging, safe for all users, and ultimately, more profitable?

Join Two Hat CEO and founder Chris Priebe and veteran analyst and market influencer Brian Solis for an insightful talk about the changing landscape of online conversations and the role of content moderation. Social abuse and objectionable materials need no longer be the price of admission.

Register today for this free event!

You’ll learn:

* How to start a dialogue in your organization around protecting your audience without imposing on free speech
* The business benefits of joining the growing movement to "raise the bar"
* Practical tips and content moderation strategies from industry veterans
