New
York City, NY, USA -- How we produce and process information is
critical to innovation, and our methods of recording and
communicating information have themselves undergone great leaps. At
the same time, tools for processing and making sense of large
quantities of data have developed exponentially, with Artificial
Intelligence (AI) representing the latest leap. In the same way that
Gutenberg's press ushered in a new era of growth, data-driven
technologies such as AI will underpin our future prosperity.
The
huge global opportunity AI presents is why the UK government
identified AI and data as one of their Grand Challenges, in which the
country could lead the world for years to come. The
recently-announced Sector Deal is the first commitment from
government and industry to realize this technology's potential,
outlining a package of up to £1 billion of support for the sector.
The
Sector Deal sets out actions to promote the adoption and use of AI in
the UK, and delivers on the recommendations of the independent AI
review, 'Growing the AI industry in the UK', led by Professor Dame
Wendy Hall and Jérôme Pesenti1 (currently at Facebook). Their
review engaged widely with businesses, academia, investors and other
stakeholders on ways to boost the UK's emerging AI sector at home and
across the world. It sets out proposals to improve the institutions
that support AI in the United Kingdom, to build a skilled workforce,
and to stimulate access to data, collectively the lifeblood of any AI
business.
If
there are critical areas in technology today that will greatly impact
businesses for years to come, these are Cybersecurity, Artificial
Intelligence and Quantum Computing. If there are examples of
countries rising to the AI challenge, the UK effort tops the list of
geographies announcing a nationwide proposal to lead the industry
globally, says renowned AI instructor Edgar Perez
(http://www.mredgarperez.com),
presenter of programs in these subjects in Mumbai, Abu Dhabi,
Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, London, Mexico City and Hong Kong:

The
Deep Learning / Artificial Intelligence Workshop for Today's
Strategic Leaders focuses on practical applications of artificial
intelligence for businesses using TensorFlow, the most widely-used
deep learning framework from Google. Deep learning is already
impacting every part of business today; in fact, PwC has warned that
automation could replace 38% of all American jobs by 2030. Deep
learning will continue to be a rich source of insights from
ever-growing data sets being evaluated by powerful algorithms,
enabling companies to make better decisions.
The
Quantum Computing Workshop for Today's Strategic Leaders will show
CEOs how to learn to harness the opportunities unveiled by Quantum
Computing, how to identify challenges and how to prepare their
organizations for what the future holds. Powerful quantum computers
will model all 19,000+ proteins in the human genome and simulate how
new drugs can cure everything from the common cold to cancer.
