Taming the Knowledge Sprawl: Strategies for Controlling Generative AI’s Expanding Knowledge
GAI-12
Founder
VERIFIED
Generative AI models have achieved remarkable advancements in generating human-like text, images, and even code. However, these models often suffer from a phenomenon known as “knowledge sprawl,” wherein the model’s knowledge expands beyond its training data, resulting in the generation of inaccurate or misleading information. Controlling this sprawl is crucial to ensure the reliability and ethical usage of generative AI systems. This session will delve into the challenges associated with knowledge sprawl in generative AI and explore effective strategies for controlling and mitigating its impact, including approaches that researchers and developers have employed to address this issue.

Imagine A World Without Hold Times – An AI Optimist Explains
GAI-13
CEO
IntelePeer
An AI Optimist possesses an authentic desire to capture the benefits of AI and deploy the technology for customer experience enhancements across all industries. They are not naive; they recognize implementation as a journey, not an immediate transformation, especially within the contact center, where Conversational AI has opened the door for Generative AI (which goes beyond basic guided tours of conversational AI). By leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs), GenAI delivers more life-like conversations with customers, where consumer intent is analyzed for personalized interactions. This session will examine what it means to be an AI Optimist and why companies must avoid carelessly deploying generative AI, as well as jey areas where to deploy GenAI, the benefits of enacting hyper-automation into customer care technology, and how optimists should address the challenges and risks of AI.

Keynote Presentation by Cisco: How Hybrid Models are Successfully Transforming the Work and Customer Experience
K-02
Aruna Ravichandran SVP & Chief Marketing & Customer Officer
Webex by Cisco

According to a recent Cisco-sponsored a global hybrid work study, 98 percent of all meetings will have at least one remote participant. With hybrid work becoming the new norm, organizations are facing the challenge of redefining the future of work. This shift is revolutionizing employee retention, talent acquisition, and employee well-being. No longer can individual departments work in isolation; IT, HR, and Facilities must join forces to plan and execute a cohesive strategy. The future of work is all about enabling seamless experiences, whether at home, the office or anywhere in between.

Aruna will discuss the framework needed to create those experiences and make the office a magnet, not a mandate, including the important ingredients to facilitate highly productive collaborative hybrid work:

  • Enabling end-to-end experiences that support how you work in an open and extensible technology ecosystem.
  • Delivering smart connections and devices that support the needs of both office based and remote team members.
  • Extending hybrid work technology with machine learning and artificial intelligence that uplifts and scales seamless experiences and productivity - and ensures that all employees feel included.
  • Providing visibility, manageability, and insights no matter where employees work - with security built-in, not bolted on.
  • Supporting customers through innovations to contact center in the cloud that help scale resources working from home or in the office.
  • Ensuring interoperability without sacrificing user experience.
  • Making hybrid work a reality regardless of employee presence – whether in the home, office, or automobile.

She will also showcase Cisco's experience with hybrid work, including a discussion about the unprecedented level of collaboration between IT, Human Resources and Facilities that made offices more engaging, and ultimately ensures that hybrid work, works.
