Leading AI business summit in Central Europe. Mastering AI means mastering future markets. Corporate strategies without AI can no longer be considered strategies. By enabling networking with leading experts AI Strategy Dialog provides crucial insights to corporate key players.
AI technologies have become a part of daily life. AI can be monetized in digital business models. Chat-bots, personal assistants, roboadvisors, machine learning und cognitive computing are relevant technologies and become parts of corporate strategies. Big data technologies, open source software, cloud computing and affordable high performance computing dramatically reduce costs for cpu-consuming tasks like analysing patterns and trends in the web. AI based business models can actually pay off. Mega trends like IoT/m2m, smart products or intelligent supply chains become even more boost with cheap AI available.
We experience the dawn of AI age. Behind all the hype there are remarkable actual breakthroughs. A new kind of software autonomously anticipates wishes of users and customers by cognizing patterns, knowledge, plannings and even argumentations. This process called machine learning makes the development of new software even quicker and cheaper. Software develops software. Machine learning is and will remain below human intelligence but the development reached a maturity level that enables more profitable business models and more efficient processes.
