Event details:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is often viewed by investors as fundamental to aiding their decision making and driving returns on their investments. AI is often a start-up's base offering before they even get setup, and for clients it is viewed as the forefront of innovation.

Engineering is known for its rigor and discipline, and more formal cultural approach, whereas the technology industry regularly creates an "iterative agile" approach using testing throughout the production process.

The webinar will ask what are the building blocks for a successful artificial intelligence system? What are the possibilities for powerful computers to transform billions of data into a magical silver bullet for industry and its operations? How can AI be applied to an engineering approach?
