Organizations need to invest in the efficiency of the design, deployment, and integration of AI solutions to their operations that enable tracking of the impact.” - Fan Ho, ED/GM of Solutions and Services Group, Lenovo Asia Pacific Hello Reader, As an immigrant, I have an outsider's perspective on New Zealand.
