Collaborative Problem Solving with AI-Powered Virtual Teams

It can be challenging for one person to develop a well-rounded plan for solving complex problems. A team of experts can bring unexpected insights and reduce risks, but such teams are rarely available. What's the alternative? Enter the world of AI, where teams of specially skilled AIs can help.

In this presentation, I will teach you how to use detailed prompts to create AIs with specific skill sets and personas. Then, I'll show you how to guide and direct your AIs through directive prompting to help them develop a plan for solving specific problems.

Half of this presentation will demonstrate these skills in three different scenarios. First, by moderating an intense conversation between two AIs, each embodying a well-known historical persona. Second, by discussing how to set up a team to perform risk analysis based on a corporate annual report. And finally, using a well-known classic book, I will guide four AIs to develop a plan to tackle a seemingly impossible threat.

Join me in this unique presentation to enhance your problem-solving toolkit with a team of high-powered AIs.

Algorithmic Business Thinking & Machine Learning

Using Oracle Machine Learning, I'll show how to produce results quickly.  The first step is Algorithmic Business Thinking to see where the biggest impact will be for the business.  Next, applying the correct algorithm and understanding different settings will be important.  Then, training the model with either data that you have or data via Big Data opportunities will be key to teach a model.  After all of that, you can then test your model against data that you understand well already to see if this is the best model or if a different algorithm might be better.  Lastly, testing the model on NEW data that starts to prescribe what to do in the future.  Understanding which customers or potential customers are likely to buy.  Finding anomalies quicker to address as needed.  Knowing which product is the NEXT product a customer will buy.  Finding the attributes of great customers that you have within new customers that are opportunities & you'll know what they want to buy first or second.  This is an intermediate look at the practical application of Machine Learning.
