QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey

How much do you know about agent networks? Hear Senior Partner and Global Leader of QuantumBlack Labs Matthew Fitzpatrick share why he’s excited about these new developments in generative AI! 👇 Tech is a crucial component in any digital and AI transformation, but change management, business logic, strategy and focus are what makes the difference between capturing value at scale and remaining stuck in pilot purgatory. With new developments (including agent networks!) becoming more sophisticated by the day, the need to outperform with the power of digital has never been more important. Here’s how our talented teams are helping ‘rewire’ global organizations with the power of digital and AI. 👉 https://lnkd.in/ezaubvtA #AIbyMcKinsey #NeverJustTech #AI #RewiredBook

We had an incredible time at our EMEA Data & AI Summit! 🥳 We loved collaborating with colleagues and clients from across the region and emphasizing data’s critical role in any successful tech transformation. Here are some key highlights from our discussions: - Scaling AI solutions from prototypes to fully operational systems need robust infrastructure and efficient data flows. Dedicated teams and strategic investments will be crucial to support this effectively. 💪 - AI and digital technology could significantly contribute to sustainable development goals and other large-scale objectives. But realizing this potential won’t be without challenges, such as data reporting issues and responsible use. 🎯 - Successful transformations have a clear definition of their main goal - taking the time to define and radiate it across the organization is a critical prerequisite to get the most of your AI transformation. 🏭 - It's never just tech: a thoughtful operating model, transparent responsible AI policies, and change management plans are all critical to achieve a long term sustainable impact. 🌍 Thanks to our amazing speakers and colleagues across QuantumBlack and our Technology practice for attending and leading the event Dr. Asin Tavakoli, Holger Harreis, Aamer Baig, Asaf Somekh, Davide Grande, Kayvaun Rowshankish, Klemens Hjartar, Holger Hürtgen, Matthias Roggendorf, Dominik Rigo, Pascal Notz, Ermanna Conte, Andreas Ess, Sarah Mulligan, Rohit Rathod, and the team!

In a world where technology and AI are reshaping industries and impacting daily life, building the next generation of curious innovators is crucial to help us imagine new possibilities. As yesterday was National STEM Day, we want to raise awareness of the power of early encouragement, education, and representation, which help shape the brilliant minds of tomorrow. 👩🏫 Making science and technology accessible and engaging to all can help inspire the next generation of leaders in AI, engineering, software development, computing, mathematics, and beyond. This is important for girls around the world, as it offers them the opportunity to see women in STEM leadership roles and envision their own potential. Join us in the comments in celebrating the power of STEM to inspire, empower, and encourage, helping innovators all around the globe deliver the real-world impact of technology. #NationalSTEMDay #QuantumBlack

Thanks to our data leaders Dr. Asin Tavakoli, Holger Harreis, Kayvaun Rowshankish, and our amazing speakers! #AIbyMcKinsey #Data #DataAISummit

When thinking about scaling AI, how many challenges come to mind? We’ve written about five key issues: https://lnkd.in/ewEgtUVF QuantumBlack Labs have developed solutions for each challenge to ensure AI/ML models scale into production for long-term impact. Discover the five challenges of scaling AI and the solutions we’ve developed for each, as part of our QuantumBlack Horizon suite of development tools! 👇 #AIbyMcKinsey #ArtificialIntelligence #QuantumBlack

Organizations are venturing into the world of gen AI en masse, but how many are ready to use it responsibly and effectively? In this episode of At the Edge podcast, Navrina Singh, CEO of Credo AI, joins McKinsey senior partner Lareina Yee to discuss AI governance and ethical models. As Navrina says, “AI systems are sociotechnical systems" impacting everything from talent acquisition to defense capabilities. But with this great power comes the need for representative and fair data inputs, alongside constant human oversight. The takeaway? Responsible AI starts with clear governance and human-machine collaboration. This is essential for society, as well as businesses wanting to achieve ROI.

Every team faces unique challenges with AI. What’s the biggest one for you right now? 👇 Even considering its transformative power across all sectors, AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. How organizations approach different challenges shapes how they adopt and implement the technology for sustained impact at scale. Tell us about your experience in the comments! 💬 #AIbyMcKinsey #ArtificialIntelligence #QuantumBlack

What does perfection in data architecture look like in the age of machine learning and generative AI? Maybe surprisingly, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution! 🧐 To support next-gen data products like AI and real-time data processing, leaders should rethink their approach to data architecture. We’ve identified three modular archetypes for this: centralized, hybrid, and decentralized, each with their own benefits for different business needs. For a deep dive into what each of these archetypes represents (and how they can fit different organizational needs and strategies), read our Tech: Forward blog! 👉 https://lnkd.in/emvVzJCg #DataScience #DataArchitecture #AIbyMcKinsey #MachineLearning

“Just having a very shiny object doesn’t mean that you’re going to get all these great efficiencies.” Technology is the key for organizations to outcompete, but it’s underdelivering. Only 3 in 10 digital transformations are able to capture the full value at stake, and that’s because it’s never just about the tech – it’s about tech with purpose. At QuantumBlack, our teams have completed a number of generative AI engagements. We’re pushing the limits of AI to help deliver real-world impact and transformative change across organizations globally. Watch Partner and Global co-Leader of AI Trust for QuantumBlack Liz Grennan explain what it takes for leaders to rewire their organizations and deliver tech’s promise, then dive deeper into our approach to AI and digital here. 👉 https://lnkd.in/ezCgNJbG #NeverJustTech #QuantumBlack
