As the new decade begins, artificial intelligence is becoming a reality. There have been major advances in the interpretation of complex data using artificial intelligence. A recent study using imaging of Google artificial intelligence system was shown to be as good as expert radiologists at discovering which women had breast cancer. The system made the findings from thousands of mammogram images.

 

Advances are also being made by biotechnology companies using algorithms to identify new molecular entities and simulate clinical trials. There are many questions that a CEO and a CSO need to ask about this new technology. Will it become as basic as the test tube in the future? Will a machine replace the creativity of a human?

 

We will have a workshop-style session looking at what questions we need to ask of the technology in order to discuss; “if we don’t embrace artificial intelligence we will fall behind”?

 

The style of the event is unique and designed to take networking to another level.
