AI is out of the lab and into the business mainstream. Machine intelligence touches nearly every personal interaction and transaction we have and those interactions are becoming increasingly multimodal with voice controls, digital agents, avatars, AR/VR experiences and robots becoming more commonplace.
The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the integration of digital content technologies for many businesses and this panel will provide an insight into the future direction of these emerging technologies; how research institutions can add value for organisations looking to integrate AI technologies; and real-life examples of how companies are using advances in AI to drive revenue.
