Abstract: Artificial intelligence is in transition from the theoretical and fantastic to the real and immediate. Businesses are struggling to understand what artificial intelligence means, how it applies to their business, and what talents they need in future employees. This conversation will touch on various elements of AI, including software robotics and process automation, natural language processing, cognitive and intelligent virtual agents and big data. We will conclude with a look at how jobs are going to change, and how to position ourselves to adapt. Content will not require mathematics or computer science background and will be accessible to all.
