AI is rapidly transforming healthcare — but many organizations are deploying AI tools faster than they’re building the infrastructure strategy needed to support them.
Join ePlus, Intel, and Cognome for a discussion on how healthcare leaders can build the right infrastructure foundation to support AI today and scale for the future.
In this session, we’ll explore how organizations can evaluate AI workloads, optimize infrastructure investments, and safely test models before deploying them into production environments.
What You’ll Learn
·       Why many healthcare AI initiatives stall without an infrastructure strategy
·       How to match infrastructure to different AI workloads
·       How modern compute innovations are enabling efficient AI inference
·       How AI sandbox environments allow teams to test models safely before deployment
