I’ve been so impressed with DeepFest, not only do you have the best data scientists and AI experts that are attending DeepFest, but you have a lot of key business leaders and executives that want to come and learn more. There’s so much buzz going around, I’ve never seen this much energy at an AI conference.
What I really like about DeepFest, is the exposure to all of the solutions that we are seeing with AI. And then again, making those connections with people from around the world, hearing their ideas and exchanging potential solutions.
I'm completely puzzled by the organisation of LEAP and DeepFest because it's so dynamic and there are so many people that speak of the latest technologies. It's incredible.
If you go back to a few years ago, AI was a curiosity, there was interest. But, now you see the business moving. You see executives and partners betting really big and so it's the momentum you see here, which is fantastic because that means that there is value on the other side.
It's been amazing just walking around the showfloor and seeing companies and experts from all over the world. DeepFest has done a great job at inviting the top people in the world to come to Saudi Arabia and work on bringing us the future faster.
DeepFest is very important because it doesn't matter where you sit in the organisation, it does a phenominal job of bringing in individuals from all over the globe together to share a global perspective of what's happening.
