Artificial Intelligence in Action

Many argue Digital Transformation is key for a business to survive in the years ahead. At ICL we steadily develop capability on many important aspects of digital concepts related to RD&I, product development, enterprise search and human assisted algorithmic analysis. We are making our first steps in finding new applications and market adjacencies using AI and analyzing big data for trends. Yet, the possibilities of using AI in the organization remain mostly unexplored. In this virtual conference we would like to showcase some of the key projects with a hope of inspiring all of you to come up with further ideas that we can build together in the years to come.
