Scotland Data Science & Technology MeetUp: Towards the autonomous project (Mudano) & Can Financial Services....(Deloitte)

Presentation 1 - Towards the autonomous project

Mudano is developing the autonomous project. We are using AI technology to build a project management platform that will predict project risks and suggest the most efficient route to ensure on-time and on-cost project delivery. Consider the driverless car – using knowledge of its environment combined with AI-based decision making, the car reacts to changes in the environment and avoids emergency situations. We are developing the technology do this for large-scale project management.
