Understanding the AI Stack

Artificial intelligence is no longer experimental—it’s a strategic imperative. Yet, most organizations struggle with where to begin. This session breaks down the five-layer AI stack—Infrastructure, Models, Data, Orchestration, and Applications—providing a clear framework for designing and deploying real-world AI solutions.

Backed by current industry data showing 77% of enterprises prioritizing AI and 72% of projects failing due to data and infrastructure gaps, this session focuses on execution—not theory.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to structure AI initiatives using a proven 5-layer architecture
  • Key tradeoffs between cloud vs. on-premise infrastructure
  • Selecting the right AI models (open vs. proprietary, size, specialization)
  • Why data pipelines and retrieval (RAG) determine AI success
  • How AI orchestration and agent workflows drive automation and ROI
  • Where AI integrates into real business systems (CRM, ERP, workflows)

Why Attend

  • Gain a practical blueprint for implementing AI in your organization
  • Understand where most AI projects fail—and how to avoid it
  • Learn how to align AI investments with business outcomes and ROI
  • Network with peers in the Jackson technology and business community

AITP began as the National Machine Accountants Association back in the 1950s, and an active chapter was formed in Jackson at this time. With the advent of powerful, mainframe computers and the accompanying staffs, the name was soon changed to DPMA (Data Processing Management Association) to focus more on the processing of all types of data. However, with the proliferation of personal and mid-range computers, this name also became dated, and effective in 1997 the association members changed its name to AITP (Association of Information Technology Professionals).
