AI Dominates Day One of IP EXPO Europe

London, UK – 04 October 2017: IP EXPO Europe kicked off at ExCel London today with a dive into where science and IT collide thanks to an opening keynote from Professor Brian Cox OBE.

Prof. Cox took to the stage in front of a packed crowd to explain how technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), IoT and analytics are driving an IT revolution towards incredible computer power, more storage and innovative solutions like graphene and quantum computing.

AI is a larger part of the show than ever before and today’s seminar and keynote sessions gave thought to the evolution of this technology. Conrad Wolfram, Strategic Director at Wolfram Research shared his thoughts on why, in this age of analytics-driven decision making and AI, organisations are often disappointed with the results. Garry Kasparov, Security Ambassador for Avast and chess grandmaster delved into whether or not super-intelligent AI is really compatible with human existence. Whilst Brad Anderson, Corp. VP Enterprise Mobility at Microsoft spoke about the company’s new technologies, designed to protect businesses from increasingly sophisticated and damaging online threats.

Commenting on the opening of IP EXPO Europe 2017, Bradley Maule-ffinch, EMEA Portfolio Director at IP EXPO event series said: “AI and machine learning are becoming the norm for organisations striving to extract value from the growing quantities of data available in the modern world. Our speakers and exhibitors at IP EXPO Europe today have addressed key questions around AI, from its impact on society, to practical, legal and ethical questions about how to apply the technology now. We’re looking forward to seeing this conversation develop further tomorrow.”
