AI technologies are re-shaping our future. It’s up to us to determine whether they enhance our lives or diminish them. On 31 October 2019, some of the most respected minds in AI, business change and technology/human interaction will come together to put the case for a positive AI-enabled future. They’ll consider how AI could impact the business operations, world economies and human life for good or ill and, eschewing doom laden prophecies and idealised dreams, investigate what we can do to ensure technology remains humanity’s life- enhancing servant – not its master.
This event promises to be the biggest Conference we have ever run, with six parallel streams including talks, discussion panels, case studies and workshops and spotlights, together with an Expo Showcase of some of the best companies in the field of AI & CX.
This event is suitable for technical leaders and senior-level business professionals involved in making key decisions about their organisation’s transformation to the new age of automation; how it’s designed, how it’s delivered and how its impact is understood. Here are some of the highlights:
The Conference: You’ll find the following streams and topics included with over 50 speakers:
- AI Technical
- CX Tech Customer Experience & Business Applications
- AI People & Process
- AI Challenges
- Ethics and Governance
- Deep Learning, Tools & Frameworks
- Hands on Workshops
- AI Startup Spotlight
- Sponsor Showcase and much more.
The Expo: You’ll find some of the best AI and CX companies demonstrating their technologies and products, including SAP, Creative Virtual, IMC and Informed AI.
The AI Startup Showcase: There will also be an AI Startup spotlight from some of the best AI universities in the UK.
The AI Awards: We will be announcing the winners of the 4th Annual Achievement Awards for AI at the Conference followed by a drinks reception
We have some amazing Industry leaders chairing the various streams, including:
