AI with Purpose: Turning Modern Data Strategy into Scalable Business Impact

An AWS One Day Digital Summit brought to you by GDS.

Across industries, organizations are under immense pressure to convert skyrocketing investments in analytics and generative AI into tangible, measurable business outcomes.

While 98% of Chief Data Officers plan to increase their Data & AI spending, nearly half still struggle to demonstrate return on investment, and only one in three believes their data foundation is strong enough to scale AI effectively.

A transformation is needed then. And this will demand a fundamental shift in how organizations think about data, culture, and capability. It's more than just tools; a deeper alignment between business and tech leaders to create a data-driven culture is the goal. Ensuring they are equipped with both the literacy and guardrails for responsible use, assuaging the old model of centralized control. In short, successful AI at scale requires strategy as much as it requires scale.

Join us as we discuss that broader question of ‘How do you transform your data and AI efforts into a repeatable engine for innovation, impact, and trust in the age of autonomy?’ Through interactive presentations and discussions led by a dedicated team of experts and thought leaders from AWS, you’ll be able to take clear next steps and initiatives back to your teams to affect real change.
