Acadian Ventures: AI at Work now.
It is rather easy and fun to spend our days imagining the future of work. Every new AI innovation tempts us to predict something else newer and cooler, just round the corner.
Portfolio companies at Acadian Ventures are shipping meaningful products with deep AI intensity now. Today these solutions are deployed live with customers, at scale. So rather than guessing where AI might be this time next year, we have decided to organize a virtual event to explain what's working right here, right now. This will probably be the first in a series.
Come and Learn from:
Maxine Anderson, co-founder and CPO at Arist
Dan Turchin, co-founder and CEO at PeopleReign
Jens-Joris Decorte, Lead Researcher at Techwolf
Claire McTaggart, co-founder and CEO at SquarePeg
Jerome Gouvernel. co-founder and CEO at datascalehr
Talks will cover:
Building "explainable" AI products - why revealing your secret sauce is a good idea.
Audit, bias, compliance, & POCS - separating what works and what doesn'tö
Building AI-first enterprise products that actually get adopted—balancing LLM advancements with real-world usability.
Research as an innovation.
How to deploy AI responsibly, address employee apprehension about automation, ensure cultural adoption of AI, and measure the business impact of AI
Turning probabilistic methods into deterministic business outcomes
Format will be 20 minutes talks, and then a panel discussion moderated by Thomas Otter. There will be plenty of q&a opportunities.
We'd like an audience of engaged HR tech experts and leaders from corporates, and other founders interested in the space, it might also be interesting for other venture investors too. We've asked the speakers to get a bit geeky rather than salesy.
