Machine learning, better known as artificial intelligence (AI), has become one of the hottest topics in technology. Things that were once science fiction – computers that can talk, self-driving cars, and using your face to unlock things – are now real. But AI’s rapid progress raises many questions. How quickly will the technology be adopted, and what will the implications be? How will improvements in AI change our perception of our own intelligence, and what it means to be human? How might AI and brain-computer interfaces allow humans to enhance themselves? This expert panel will cut through the noise of the AI debate, separating fact from fiction, giving you a better understanding of the state of AI – and equipping you with the mental toolkit you need to make sense of its development in the years to come.

As we go about our day-to-day lives deeply immersed in our smartphones, we may come to believe that the future will be mostly things we see on the screens in our hands. But the future holds much more. We believe many of our usual mobile experiences will leave the device, moving instead to smart TVs or other glass interfaces, and many more will not engage our eyes at all but other senses, as we already see with wearables. Join us as we indulge in some futurism. How can we see things normally not seen? How can we have experiences without user interfaces? What could the next pattern of computing look like and how would that impact products, design and our increasingly digital lifestyles?

Today’s world is more interconnected than ever before. The ability to access copious amounts of data in an instant across numerous touch points has changed the way we interact and understand one another and the world around us. The integration of Augmented Intelligence (AI) with IoT devices provides a unique opportunity to gain a better understanding of these various data points, and allows us to make informed decisions that can not only improve, but even potentially save lives. Within this panel, AI and IoT experts from IBM and IBM’s The Weather Company will discuss some of the world’s biggest climate, environmental and health-related challenges, and how we can leverage AI, machine learning, IoT devices and crowdsourced data to create sustainable, intelligent solutions.
