The Fifth Elephant 2017

Artificial Intelligence(AI) was introduced to develop and create “thinking machine” that are capable of mimicking, learning and replacing human intelligence. Since last 20 years, AI has shown great promise in improving human decision making processes and the subsequent productivity.

In the fifth elephant conference, I will talk about the application of AI in the E-commerce industry including supply chain management, inventory management, Transportation management and customer service.

AI helps from the time customer starts product search, product recommendation, deciding the right product, an order is placed, payment is made, order fulfilment, delivery of product, return policy and safety and security. Also, focus would be on how AI has improved customer experience with retailers and how retailers can get a competitive advantage. AI can help even warehouse management in a way to not only minimize total cost but also boost employee experience.

I will also cover how AI techniques are used in web services. A web service is a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over the network.

Audience: My speech would cater to the interest of the people working in the e-commerce, Information technology, data science, supply chain management as well the general audience.
