April meeting features - Dharmateja Priyadarshi Uddandarao, Senior Data Scientist with Amazon, who will discuss Designing Non-Traditional Business Metrics to Measure Success in the AI Era

Abstract: 

AI initiatives are often evaluated using technical performance metrics to measure their success in the real world. However, these indicators rarely reflect whether AI systems generate meaningful business impact. This session explores how organizations can design non-traditional business metrics that measure decision quality, behavioral change, operational efficiency, and economic value. By shifting focus from merely model performance to enterprise outcomes, leaders can bridge the gap between short-term AI outputs and long-term strategic success. Let's understand the leading indicators, intermediate impact signals, and measurable business outcomes that ensure AI investments deliver sustained and trustworthy value.
