So much of what was once considered sci-fi has already become a reality, due to advancements in AI and big data. Robots performing complex surgeries, algorithms predicting what we want to buy, operating systems that talk to us, self-driving cars, they’re here! And the more data we collect and analyze, the better our machines will become at making predictions and increasing productivity. But don’t expect a machine takeover any time soon. We’re still years away from robots in our homes, self-driving spaceships and genetically-designed babies. Join an expert discussion on the future potential for AI and data, what’s already in development, potential dangers, and how this will impact consumers.
