Topic: AI powered enterprise solutions for the finance and retail industry
Event-driven architecture has become a go-to approach for building scalable software systems. It allows seamless integration and easy component replacement without disrupting the entire system. When AI/ML models are embedded within this architecture, businesses can scale training and inference efficiently, optimizing operations and decision-making especially in industries like finance and retail.
This talk will dive into how organizations can build AI-augmented solutions without breaking the bank, focusing on fixing key bottlenecks in scalability. We’ll also walk through a real-world case study of a financial services company that leveraged AI to scale loan processing, cutting manual work, achieving 100x faster processing, improving accuracy, and delivering a better overall experience.
