TAG's Data Science & AI Society Presents: 'The AI Mirage: Why 90% of Models Never Make it!'

Monday, August 11, 2025 (5:30 PM - 7:30 PM) (EDT)

Description

Organizations talk often about AI success, but behind the scenes, most efforts stall. After months of data wrangling, model training, and endless meetings, most AI initiatives never reach production. Instead, they linger in demo mode, showing promise, yet delivering nothing.

This session unpacks the harsh truth about productionalizing AI. We will explore the core reasons why so many projects lose momentum, from brittle pipelines and poor data quality to gaps between data teams and business goals. We will also tackle the cultural and technical challenges that block the path to deployment.

Join us as we learn from real-world experiences and expose the real barriers to AI at scale and how to solve them. Let’s walk through what it takes to shift from experimentation to execution. Hear from experts who have turned stalled pilots into live systems, and gain practical advice for doing the same inside your organization.
