Are You Ready to Engineer and Sustain AI Systems?
Ipek Ozkaya, Technical Director of Engineering Intelligent Software Systems Group, Carnegie Mellon University/ Software Engineering Institute (SEI)
State governments are increasingly interested in taking full advantage of improved capabilities of machine learning (ML) algorithms and building artificial intelligence (AI) systems. AI systems are software-reliant systems, which include data and components that implement algorithms mimicking learning and problem solving. The increasing availability of computing resources and off-the shelf ML solutions give the impression that engineering, deploying, and maintaining an AI system are trivial. The sneaky part about engineering AI systems is they are "just like" conventional software systems we can design and reason about until they are not. However, many principles and practices of building long-lived software systems that are sustainable still apply to engineering AI systems. In this talk, I will summarize foundational practices that decision makers should be aware of before taking on key AI engineering initiatives in their organizations.

Business Relationship Management (BRM): Moving from Provider to Partner
Kip Fanta, CBRM
Principal, Kip Fanta Group
Everyone is talking “Digital Transformation”, and how technology is at the center of business, but many times the IT function is not being seen or leveraged as a strategic partner in the work. It’s an exciting time to be in IT, but we must continue to evolve. This session will review how a strong BRM capability converges cross-functional teams and eliminates value-depleting organizational silos. BRM strengthens collaboration and drives a culture of creativity, innovation, and shared ownership across the enterprise so that holistic, innovative, and value-driven strategies are created and deliver their intended business value results.
