Important update: EmTech Digital is proceeding as a virtual conference

 

Our new digital-first program promises to deliver both the insight and the access you were expecting from our live event.  We’ll be featuring the same speakers, covering the same topics, all curated by MIT Technology Review, all aimed to give you practical guidance and expert insight on the technical, ethical, and strategic AI deployment issues facing organizations in 2020. In digital form, through Q&A and chatrooms, you’ll be able to have your say and get answers to your questions from our experts. We’re going to run an accelerated schedule, keeping the individual presentations shorter so that our online attendees can have more time to ask questions and interact with the content. 

 

Previously registered attendees will be automatically signed up for the virtual conference. (Information sent separately.) New attendees may purchase a ticket to the virtual conference here >>

MIT Technology Review Presents EmTech Digital 2020

 

Celebrating 20 years of MIT Technology Review bringing the business impact of technology innovation to live audiences worldwide.

EmTech Digital offers decision makers practical guidance on the technical, ethical, and strategic AI deployment issues facing organizations in 2020.

EmTech Digital invites world-class AI experts, pioneers, and technologists who will examine topics including:  

  • Countering misinformation and bias
  • Road-mapping the latest in machine learning research
  • Understanding the role of AI in our personal lives
  • The path to artificial general intelligence
  • AI’s transformation of the workplace and workforce

 

AI You Can Trust

 

TRUST is the theme for this year’s event. Algorithms we can trust, data we can trust, decisions we can trust.  The most talked about issues in AI today - deepfakes, bias, explainability, privacy - all have TRUST as a common denominator.  Essential for AI adoption, those who forgo trust put their deployments and potentially their brand reputations at risk.

AI: The Next Chapter

It may be difficult for us to imagine a world in which AI creates architectural drawings or controls robotics to perform medical surgeries.  However, it was once unfathomable that a computer could beat a human at chess or drive a car autonomously.  How far away are we from artificial general intelligence and what obstacles must be overcome to get us there?

Here’s what attendees have to say about EmTech Digital

“Fast paced. Deep. Real intelligence. EmTech Digital opened my eyes, deepened my thinking, and broadened my perspectives on AI. This is my 3rd attendance to EmTech Digital. I plan to come back again.”

Haiyan Wang, Managing Partner, China India Institute

“EmTech Digital gave me a glimpse into the cutting edge of AI. I feel much better equipped to discuss the art of the possible when it comes to this technology."

David Glazer, Practice Lead - Digital Transformation at ITRG

“A brilliant event with extraordinary speakers and insightful discussions about the latest trends and the future of AI. One of the rare conferences where you want to listen to all talks instead of working on your laptop or checking emails and social media. Highly recommended.“
