More about AI and Deep Learning:

Massive troves of data and deep learning technologies are teaching computers to see, understand natural language, and think as humans do. This brings many capabilities within AI grasp which formerly were the exclusive possession of humans.

Tech giants like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Amazon have been racing to acquire AI start-ups, to establish a foothold on the next wave of AI transformation.

Some companies are already integrating deep learning into their own day-to-day processes. Peter Lee, co-head of Microsoft Research, is reported as saying (http://fortune.com/ai-artificial-intelligence-deep-machine-learning/): “Our sales teams are using neural nets to recommend which prospects to contact next or what kinds of product offerings to recommend.” Andrew Ng, chief scientist at Baidu Research, has commented (http://fortune.com/ai-artificial-intelligence-deep-machine-learning/) as follows: “In the past, a lot of S&P 500 CEOs wished they had started thinking sooner than they did about their Internet strategy. I think five years from now there will be a number of S&P 500 CEOs that will wish they’d started thinking earlier about their AI strategy.”

In this meeting you will meet and hear from some of the key AI start ups, which could help you shift your businesses to incorporate AI and machine learning features.
