AI enablement and tooling at Nokia

AI enablement of teams involves giving them access to the tools and platforms required for fast prototyping and staging environments to test their ideas.
At Nokia, we utilize many open source tools to power the AI journey of our teams. Via this demo we plan to show some of these tools and how the team can use them to run ML training and inference testing.

Notebook AI by Zoho

Notebook AI is an intelligent personal note assistant built into Zoho Notebook, offering features such as AI-powered content generation, smart transcription, contextual Q&A, tone adjustments, and more. Our goal is to make meaningful, privacy-conscious AI accessible and affordable to all users. Given the relevance of this initiative to the Summit’s focus on practical AI innovation, I believe it could be a valuable addition to the discussions or showcases.
