The future of AI in research: Sustainability, cost, and responsible scale

Webinar

The future of AI in research is often portrayed as a race for larger models, more GPUs, and faster infrastructure. Success is commonly measured by computational scale.

From Noise to Insight: Using AI to Turn Unstructured Conversations into Always-On Insight

Webinar

Most AI-in-research discussions focus on survey automation, GenAI summaries, or even synthetic respondents. But unstructured conversations – social media posts, support chats, emails, sales calls, and reviews - offer a different kind of insight: the Unsolicited Customer Opinion. Today, AI enables us to continuously listen to and interpret these conversations at scale, transforming them into reliable, decision-grade insight without commissioning new fieldwork. Beyond analysis, AI can recommend ac
