Web Directions AI returns for 2018
After a fantastic inaugural event in 2017, our AI conference returns for 2018.
This year, to make it easier to attend, it takes place the day before our Summit, so if you’re travelling from outside Sydney you can get even more return on your effort by adding the additional day. And there’s fantastic pricing when you combine both AI and Summit.
The full program is online now, and last year’s event sold out.
What is AI about?
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning have long been the preserve of specialists. But a revolution has been taking place in the world of AI, with “AI as a service” APIs from major cloud vendors and startups bringing natural language processing, speech to text, text to speech, and many more traditionally challenging applications of machine learning into the realm of the everyday.
The challenges now facing the adoption off these technologies is increasingly not a technical one. They are design challenges, and challenges for product owners and managers, and business decision makers.
So AI is designed to help those working on digital products and services understand the opportunities these technologies present today, and the challenges–technical, design, and business–you might face in adopting them.
Who is AI for?
AI is for anyone involved in designing and delivering digital products and services – designers, developers, product owners and managers, business decision makers.
What will AI cover?
Working with AI technologies presents a new range of design, business and technical challenges. AI focusses on all of these areas. Our goal, at this still-early stage of these technologies’ adoption, is to bring together all who are part of that adoption to create a shared understanding of what needs to be done to get the most from what we genuinely feel are transformative technologies.
