TAKING AI TO MARKET

At the theoretical frontier, the merits of neural networks and limits of deep learning are subjects of hot debate. Will Artificial Intelligence ever rival human intelligence? Will it help with humanity’s most pressing problems?

In business, the conversation is quite different. Established methodologies can be applied to business problems with potential for great benefit. The opportunities are promising, but it’s easier said than done.

The journey from research lab to real life is long, and Australian technology companies face their own hurdles in the quest to operationalise and commercialise AI.

This discussion acknowledges the biggest challenges faced by our technology sector, including a massive shortfall in talent. Australia is not the only country in the grip of a skills ‘drought’ but with expertise in short supply, the biggest questions beg: How can we play on the world stage? Are we kidding ourselves?

Join Nearmap, for a candid conversation with other Australian tech and business leaders from start-ups and enterprise. Learn from their shared insights and real life examples from working with automation, machine learning and bringing AI projects to life.

Together, they connect the dots between possibility and reality, from cutting edge to common availability. How do we support home-grown technology and produce innovation beyond the incubator? Creating a proof-of-concept is one step, but how do you go beyond and transform a business, or industry? What are the pitfalls and practicalities of bringing an AI product to market?

You’ll come away from this practical, thought-provoking panel with a better understanding of the issues and considerations. What will it take to realise our nation’s overall AI ambitions? You’ll have your own views.
