Technology Aspect: We will examine the gaps in data consolidation and homogenization, and discuss the data modelling and data quality framework that has been established to create a common analytics layer. We will also delve into the data engineering framework that supports development at scale and in parallel by multiple vendors, including the Cloud accelerator. Additionally, we will explore the MLOps techniques and guidelines that have been implemented to support the simultaneous lifecycle of models in a large number of countries.

Management Aspect (Cultural): We will discuss the adoption of the SAFe model within the IT department to execute all initiatives, not just those related to AI/ML and Analytics. We will address the project vs. capacity paradox and its consequences, as well as efforts to change the mindset within a traditional organization. Finally, we will share stories from Azure DevOps and other platforms about monitoring and scaling with multi-vendor teams inside the products.

To effectively market a digital product, it's crucial to understand its impact on key user metrics and determine its level of success. In this session, George Giannarakis Data Scientist at National Observatory of Athens and Ilias Tsoumas Research Data Scientist at National Observatory of Athens will discuss the importance of this causal question, the challenges in providing rigorous answers, and introduce causal AI as a powerful tool to address these challenges.

The session will illustrate these concepts through the story of a digital agriculture product developed by the National Observatory of Athens in collaboration with Corteva Agriscience for cotton farmers in Greece. The comprehensive case study covers all aspects of the project, from product development to on-field deployment. We'll specifically focus on how causal AI techniques were used to accurately estimate the incremental impact of the product on the farmers' yield, which served as the primary measure of success.

Nikolaos Epitropakis, Advanced Analytics & Strategy Manager at Delottie, will explore the evolution of AI projects, emphasizing the shifting needs and deliverables. The session will delve into the common misconceptions and needs of enterprises looking to embrace AI technology.

Moreover, Nikos will focus on identifying pain points specific to the Greek landscape, particularly within SMEs, addressing their immaturity in AI adoption, and proposing innovative solutions to bridge this gap. The session's insights will illuminate the path forward for AI in product development in an ever-evolving technological landscape.

In today's fast-paced business environment, harnessing the power of artificial intelligence is no longer an option; it's a necessity. Yet, many companies face significant resistance when it comes to embracing AI technologies.

In this speech, Marion Nikoloudaki, Head of Data Science and Machine Learning in Light & Wonder will unlock the potential of AI adoption by addressing the common obstacles and providing actionable solutions that empower companies to thrive in the age of AI.
