Debunking the myths of AI and ML and how to counter them in a post-COVID19 era (Session L)

AI overcame many obstacles over the last decades mainly on the academic side. The AI technologies and required tools are maturing very quickly. However, over the last years AI started to face one of its major challenges so far, that is the adoption in real-world industry scenarios. Unfortunately, with confusing and conflicting messages about what AI can and cannot do, it is challenging for business leaders to distinguish between facts and fiction in the rapidly crowded and noisy ecosystem of enthusiasts, platform vendors, and service providers.

However, once the dust settles down and things get clear, the truth of AI will endure, eventually losers and winners will be declared.

In this talk, we’ll highlight some of the key myths and how to counter them that we as businesses and society can leverage the actual capabilities to archive progress in our lives safely and effectively.

The speaker will be answering audience questions online during the presentation.
