However, businesses can prepare themselves for the next phase of this technology by acquiring the necessary skills, implementing the right architecture, and designing their operations accordingly.
Bridging the gap between IT professionals, digital experts, and tech innovators, DTX + UCX Europe 2023 aims to unite top professionals in the UK on October 4-5. With 18 different content stages, the program provides a roadmap for IT leaders and their teams to navigate the AI-dominated landscape, both in terms of opportunities and risks.
