Artificial intelligence has risen to prominence this year. In March 2016, Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo won 4-1 in the Chinese game of Go, beating the top Go player in the world over the past decade, Lee Sedol. And IBM’s Watson correctly diagnosed a Japanese leukaemia patient in ten minutes after doctors had failed to diagnose her condition over several months.

90% of the world’s data has been created in the past two years. Navigating this information requires vastly more sophisticated tools than hitherto available. Large industry players are aware of this and Google, IBM and Microsoft are all investing heavily.

Join us for a stimulating evening with two industry heavyweights to discover more about artificial intelligence and its potential to transform the information industry. A short Q&A will follow the two speakers and there will then be a chance to carry on the debate over networking drinks and canapes set against the backdrop of the River Thames and City of London.

 

Our two speakers and their topics are:evs_logo_rgb
