The hybrid event brought together thousands of participants across the globe to hear the foremost thinkers, doers, users, and investors of AI opine on both the industry today and its future, with thought-provoking presentations and networking opportunities.
Presented by Insight Partners, Citi, and NASDAQ, ScaleUp:AI provided a comprehensive look at how AI is impacting every industry and facet of business, with sessions exploring its effects on healthcare, cybersecurity, fraud mitigation, ethics and equity, business intelligence, financial services, and more. Leaders in AI partnered with Insight on the event, including 6sense, Acceldata, BigPanda, Clarify Health, Cognigy, Expressive, Explorium, Featurespace, intenseye, Pecan, Quantum Metric, Rasgo, Relevance AI, RudderStack, Run:AI, SentinelOne, Slim.AI, StormForge, Turing, Weights & Biases, WINT, Zest AI.
ScaleUp:AI is the first in a series of Insight Partners global conferences and was specifically designed for the artificial intelligence (AI) community. With over 1,700 attendees in person and virtually, from more than 50 countries across the globe, the event was packed with insights and key takeaways, including:
- Why “good data” can be more important than “big data” as the world moves towards a more data-centric versus model-centric view of AI.
- The importance of explainability and bias detection before any model gets into production at scale.
- The value of strategically combining human and machine intelligence and why “symbiotic intelligence” is the best of both worlds.
- Why the evolution of AI systems is going to happen more quickly than the evolution of traditional software, and how we are truly at the beginning of a scale up inflection point.
