About this event
Artificial Intelligence sets fire to the imagination. Dramatized through pop culture with movies such as The Matrix, Ghost in the Shell or Ex Machina, we are often left with a polarised view which leaves you both optimistic for a fantastic facilitated future, and pessimistic because our robot overlords will soon be taking over.
There is no denying the value that AI can bring to business. A convergence of many streams of technology such as computing power, massive amounts of data and algorithmic advancements creates the ability to answer questions previously answered with assumptions and relying on human experience. Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning via Neural Networks can connect the dots in ways that are impossible for a human due to the sheer massive amounts of data and computational power required to do so, and provide meaningful answers that will help business succeed.
Panelists include:
