Well known futurist and computer scientist, Ray Kurzweil has predicted that we can expect machines to have human intelligence around 2029.

Some part of this has already happened; in 1997, a supercomputer managed to beat world chess champion, in 2005 a self-driven car drove for 130 KMs, in 2011 Watson won a quiz against human opponents, in 2016 AlphaGo program beat one of the best human players in the word, to quote a few instances! All this is part of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

There are unbelievable and amazing things happening around the world using ML and AI every day and our businesses should not be left behind.

The Talk will focus on exploring Machine Learning- its relevance, ways of integrating into the current workplaces, benefits to organizations/mankind and future of machine learning.

We will discuss the following:

• What is Machine learning (and Artificial Intelligence)?
• Some real-life use cases
• What would it take to get started and avoid the pitfalls?
