AI: Impacts on Business Applications Today & In the Future

Artificial intelligence is predicted to displace millions of jobs and even, by some estimations, could lead to human extinction. Rather than losing sleep about robots running the government or executive boards, attend Northwestern University's Analytics Exchange to learn about the current capabilities of AI and how AI will add value in the coming years. The Analytics Exchange is an opportunity to hear insight from industry leaders and engage with students, faculty, and peers on this exciting topic. Speakers from large corporations, start-ups, and investment firms will share their AI stories. Attendees will also benefit from a tutorial exploring the applications of deep learning.

This year's day-long conference will be the fifth annual Analytics Exchange conference hosted by Northwestern's Master of Science in Analytics program. The Analytics Exchange was created as an opportunity for industry leaders and practitioners from across the analytics spectrum to gather and discuss the ever-evolving landscape of analytics with like-minded individuals. Keynote speakers for this year's conference come from companies including KPMG, Metonymy Labs, Ernst & Young, Narrative Science, and more.

Registration for this conference is free and by invitation only.
