| August 8, 2016

The annual Westpac Business Awards recognise organisations from across four Auckland regions (central, north, west and south) for their success in key business areas, including Innovation, Business Leadership, and Exporting.

However, they not only showcase Auckland businesses from a wide range of sectors, but also give organisations the chance to compare against the best of the best in their area.

The awards are a great opportunity for us to share our story with the Auckland business community and reflect on our journey so far.

Our take: AI readiness for K-12 data teams needs to start with trusted data. It doesn’t start with selecting an LLM, it doesn’t start with deploying a chatbot and it certainly doesn’t start by giving an AI agent unrestricted access to every table in a student...
