12:10 PM Lunch & Learn: The Validity of AI Decision-Making: Dismantling the Grand View of AI

The oil and gas industry is a buzz with discussions on how AI can revolutionize efficiency, safety, and productivity. With nearly 47% of industry professionals planning to implement AI solutions, it's crucial for your organization to understand the realistic capabilities of these products from the outset and avoid redundant technology investments. While AI products and insights are widely accepted, their validity depends on maintaining the health of AI models through consistent data cleansing and effective data integration. Even then, some aspects of complex operations remain beyond machine understanding.


In this Lunch & Learn session, join Mark and Brent as they discuss whether AI should be seen as a single source of truth or if we should bifurcate these sources, and whether biases within decisions can be eliminated.
