Uncovering the AI future with IBM Watson at IP EXPO Manchester
IP EXPO Manchester, part of Europe’s number one enterprise IT event series, unveiled one of the leading authorities on AI, Mike Hobday, Vice President Cognitive IBM Watson, as the keynote speaker for day two of this years event.
While 2016 was marked by experimentation and proof-of-concepts, this year there is a rush to scale around robotics and cognitive computing, such as chat-bots, robo-advisors, Watson, and other artificial intelligence solutions. With the advent of new technologies – robotics, cognitive, machine learning, and blockchain, a new Industrial Revolution is happening around us – changing industry business models, workforces, processes, and services.
As the lead for IBM’s Cognitive Automation Consulting Practice in UK and Ireland, Mike will be sharing his experience working with IBM Watson and will delve into how intelligent automation/robotics will be transforming 25% of content jobs in the next two years. Mike will also be giving visitors to IP EXPO Manchester insight into our futures with cognitive automation, where technology is designed for no touch.
Bradley Maule-ffinch, EMEA Portfolio Director for the IP EXPO Event Series comments:
“Artificial Intelligence and cognitive computing have become some of the most discussed topics throughout the whole of the IP EXPO Event Series. It’s great to have Mike Hobday joining us to share more about the work being done with IBM Watson and give key insights into an area of technology that will no doubt have a huge impact on everyone in the near future.”
