Atlanta AI Week has ended
Tuesday April 22, 2025 1:30pm - 2:15pm EDT
AI promises transformation, but too many projects stall, underdeliver, or fail outright. Why? The biggest challenges aren’t just technical—they’re about strategy, execution, and alignment with business goals.
In this session, AI leaders who have been in the trenches of AI implementation will reveal the hidden patterns behind AI project failures—from misaligned expectations and poor data strategies to choosing the wrong tech stack or failing to achieve real ROI. More importantly, they’ll share what actually works and how to set up AI initiatives for success.
If you're deploying AI—or struggling to make it deliver results—this session will help you avoid common pitfalls and turn failure into a learning advantage.
