Most of this year, enterprises have been reviewing the lessons learned in the past few years from their Enterprise AI initiatives, i.e., what has worked, what hasn’t, and how to move forward to modernize their infrastructures and take full advantage of AI.

Erick Brethenouxc introduced Gartner's Enterprise AI framework, and the panelists highlighted key challenges that Enterprises are facing.
