New York City was all about AI this week, with AI experts and business leaders coming together at the sold-out O’Reilly Artificial Intelligence Conference.
One notable announcement from the event is that Intel is now joining forces with O’Reilly to co-present the Artificial Intelligence Conference series going forward. This new collaboration will offer exciting ways to define and drive advances in AI. The first event with Intel is the AI Conference in San Francisco, happening Sept. 17-20, with more events planned in New York and San Francisco in 2018.
Learn faster. Dig deeper. See farther.
The AI Conference stands out for bringing together business leaders and AI innovators to talk about the most promising applied AI developments across all fields—from logistics and transportation to health and media. The program at the upcoming San Francisco conference features cutting-edge science and business implementation, focusing on topics like increased AI accessibility, innovations in AI techniques, and how AI is driving a paradigm shift in computing itself.
Naveen Rao, vice president and general manager of the Artificial Intelligence Products Group at Intel, will chair the AI Conference series with Roger Chen, O’Reilly’s Ben Lorica, and honorary chairs Peter Norvig and Tim O’Reilly.
