Ask me anything about artificial intelligence
with Chris Wigley and Dr Ines Marusic of QuantumBlack and Richard Peters of Decoded
This is the first in the Pi/QuantumBlack series on artificial intelligence, AI and us.
It is hard to move these days without running into something to do with AI: we use the technologies every day, through our phones and computers, and we are bombarded with breathless and conflicting opinions as to whether they will harm or heal our world. In mounting this series, we aim to provide attendees with a broad introduction to AI and what it can do for us, as well as to cut through to some of the core questions that the technologies raise for business, for society and for our sense of self.
Chris is COO at QuantumBlack where he leads the firm’s global growth and client delivery. Prior to joining QuantumBlack, Chris co-led Digital Strategy at McKinsey & Company. He has also served as a diplomat for the UK.
Chris is passionate about the opportunities machine learning and artificial intelligence present to augment human and organisational performance.
In this opening session of our series, "AI and us", we will get to grips with where we are with AI now, the kinds of issues that business are addressing with the technologies, and what we can expect to see in the near future.
