We will hold a session the 1st day at 9:45am PT:
What You Need to Do to Be AI-Ready: Testing for Trust, Resilience, and Compliance
Abstract:
As enterprises explore AI to modernize applications, accelerate development, and drive innovation, one crucial question remains largely unanswered: Can you trust the outcomes?
In this session, we’ll uncover what being truly AI-ready means — not from a theoretical or experimental perspective, but from the ground up: testing, validation, and automation. We’ll show how organizations can only scale AI if they have the right testing architecture in place to support trust, traceability, and resilience — especially in hybrid environments that include IBM i systems or IBM i only.
You’ll learn:
Why test automation is no longer a QA luxury, but a strategic AI enabler
The 7 levels of automation maturity, and why you must reach the top to be AI-ready
2 days full agenda:
