How is AI changing the world?
What we thought was virtually impossible in 2014 has become possible with just a few lines of code, thanks to deep learning and AI innovation. The field is moving at such a fast pace that it’s practically impossible to keep up.
To address this, we’ve hosted a series of events focused on “How AI is Changing the World,” with the goal of showcasing what is being done by cutting-edge AI groups from around the world. We wanted to share what you can do with AI today, while also sparking innovation by talking about what AI might be able to accomplish in the future.
We held events in New York City, Tel Aviv, and San Francisco from June to November 2019, and have recorded talks from 12 different companies and working groups in the field of AI.
Through this international effort, we have gotten a glimpse into the advances of applied AI from a variety of perspectives. They range from small companies like agriculture tech startup Taranis to research groups and AI labs from established companies like Google and Uber.
In five years, what pipe dream will become a reality with just a few lines of code? Check out some of these talks, and let us know what you think.
