Your favourite Meetup is back after summer 😎
We want to invite everyone to join our DAMA Norway Community at the 𝐀𝐈 & 𝐒𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐩, where we will host two great speakers:
[Aline Souza](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alineai/): "From AI experiment to business value- building AI that actually works in organizations"
AI projects rarely fail because the model isn't sophisticated enough. More often, they fail somewhere between the business problem, the data, the process, the people, and how the solution is governed.
In this talk, the speaker shares a practical framework for moving from AI experimentation to real business value, starting with a deceptively simple question: before talking about AI, can we clearly state what is actually going wrong? From there, the talk walks through the journey from problem definition to data readiness, governance, human accountability, adoption, and measurement.
[Himanshu Ardawatia](https://www.linkedin.com/in/himanshuardawatia/): "Semantic reference architecture for integrating heterogeneous data"
This talk presents an approach to integrating diverse and disconnected data sources using a knowledge graph model. Using location data as a working example, the speaker will walk through how geospatial, organizational, and administrative data can be brought together sharing what the approach has addressed so far, where the open questions and trade-offs remain, and possible directions forward. As with most integration challenges, context matters, and no single architecture fits every case.
🎉 There will be an amazing atmosphere, pizza, and you can win the book from our next Book Club, which takes place on September 17 😊
