Running AI Projects with Kevin Dewalt

Running AI Projects with Kevin Dewalt

As part of the BA Trailblazer series on Artificial Intelligence hosted by Ted Kerr, Kevin Dewalt of PROLEGO, an AI expert, led an online session last week specifically for Business Analysts. We covered: 

  • what AI actually is in practical terms,
  • how to identify opportunities for AI projects,
  • what the elements of managing an AI project are, and
  • how this new revolutionary technology will affect the BA role.

The evening was hosted in partnership with our sister IIBA chapters: Montreal, Palmetto and Quebec, who each hosted the webinar from their own locations. Many thanks to them and to Kevin for generously giving their time. Additionally, thank you to the BA team at EDC for allowing us to use their beautiful auditorium.
 
We’re excited to say that a recording of this session is available to all. We encourage everyone to see this insightful presentation to better understand what AI is and what the potential applications of AI are for your projects!

We also started a Slack workspace to keep the conversation going on AI for BAs.
