Whether it’s how Google Maps tells you about traffic conditions at any given time or how Intuit’s TurboTax provides a personalized experience where you only see questions that matter to your tax situation, AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning) is used to solve everyday problems that range in complexity. AI is the broader concept of machines being able to carry out tasks in a way that we would consider “smart”. ML is a current application of AI based around the idea that we should really just be able to give machines access to data and let them learn for themselves. In short, Machine Learning achieves Artificial Intelligence.
Join us for a very special evening with San Diego’s top AI/ML technologists as they uncover and share how artificial intelligence and machine learning is used to solve unmet customer needs that deliver big business impact. The panel will also share their thoughts on the future of AI/ML, as well as their career journey and how AI/ML has led them to where they are today. After the panel session, we’ll break into a “Birds of a Feather” session, where participants will the opportunity to have deeper conversations with the panelists.
