Ask An Expert | Why AI Is One Of The Safest Bets A Retailer Can Make With Microsoft & GitHub

The hype behind AI is real, and those that dawdle are already at risk of being behind.

Way behind.

So Omni Talk is pleased to announce that Romeo Bolibol, the Managing Partner & Head of Sales for Strategic Retail & Consumer Goods at Microsoft, and Crys Kelch, the Enterprise Solutions Sales Leader for the Americas at GitHub, joined Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga for the latest installment of their Omni Talk Ask An Expert Series to explain why timing is of the essence when it comes to AI.

Chris and Anne went deep with Romeo and Crys on:

  • Why the hype around AI might not be big enough
  • The common fears over AI that retail executives are sharing in the boardroom
  • The extent of the investment in AI needed across one’s full tech stack
  • Real-life examples of next-generation AI already in use at leading retailers
  • And, perhaps most importantly, how the right approach to AI will create efficiencies that stack on top of each other so that one plus one will equal three or even four or five in your organization
