Whither AI?

"What should we worry about? Will we have superhuman AI within our lifetimes? What are the most recent advances in machine learning? What should you follow to keep up to date? In this talk we will discuss the current trends in AI - legislation, societal impact, finance, and research - without hyperbole and with negative spin.

Gary Kazantsev is the Head of the Machine Learning group at Bloomberg, leading projects at the intersection of computational linguistics, machine learning and finance such as sentiment analysis, market impact indicators, statistical text classification, social media analytics, question answering, recommendation systems and predictive modeling of financial markets.

He is engaged in advisory roles with start ups in FinTech and machine learning space and is the co-organizer of the annual Columbia Machine Learning in Finance workshop. He holds degrees in physics, mathematics and computer science from Boston University.

PLEASE NOTE: We are changing things up a bit by having this event at our kind host, Galvanize. Attendance is limited and turnout expected to be high, so please RSVP early.
