Demystifying Artificial Intelligence & Cloud Computing

There is a lot of confusion surrounding Artificial Intelligence, leading to countless questions and concerns in the minds of the public. Is it real? Is it relevant to my business (I am not Microsoft/Google/Amazon)? What is the promise? How others have benefited from it?

Ok I got it! What’s next?

In this talk, we will address all of these questions and concerns. We will cover a few interesting ways organizations across the world (and locally in Toronto) have benefited from AI and Machine Learning. The talk will also ‘demystify’ cloud computing, why is it relevant now and who is using it in Canadian market.

We will conclude with an AI demo running in the cloud. The session will be interactive so come prepared with any questions you might have.
