From applied researchers to CEOs passionate about AI: a glimpse of Synaptech’s first speakers
From the brinks of university laboratories to becoming integrated in objects used in real life, Artificial Intelligence is going mainstream. Not in the pop culture per se, but because it grows into a widely-used technology and mundane objects are already influenced by it. Because there are new programs and developments that help humanity towards its evolution. Although AI is the hottest topic of the year, its development is still incipient.
