DENNIS MORTENSEN

CEO/Founder, x.ai

Dennis is the CEO and Founder of x.ai. He’s a pioneer and expert in leveraging Data and a serial entrepreneur who has successfully delivered a number of company exits on that theme. Dennis’s long term vision of killing the inbox triggered the formation of x.ai and the creation of an artificial intelligence personal assistant to schedule meetings. He’s an accredited Associate Analytics Instructor at the University of British Columbia, the Author of Data Driven Insights from Wiley and a frequent speaker on the subject of AI, intelligent agents, and the future of work. A native of Denmark, Mortensen currently calls New York City his home.

In this talk, x.ai CEO and Founder, Dennis Mortensen, will discuss some of the important factors and decisions that need to be made in building an AI autonomous agent. As x.ai developed its AI assistants—Amy & Andrew—who take over meeting scheduling entirely, they encountered quite a few unexpected challenges.

This talk will cover the key questions and challenges to consider if you’re involved in designing artificially intelligent agents, based on those faced by x.ai in building their AI assistants (more details below).

ABSTRACT: JOSH SUTTON

Josh Sutton (Global Head, Data & AI, Publicis.Sapient) will explore how artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming the driving engine that is helping large corporations transform their business lines and even industries. This presentation will cover both a pragmatic approach to identifying and exploiting AI-enabled opportunities for transformation as well as exploring the three most common high level use cases that firms are beginning to implement. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of the data and technology implications that must be considered when implementing at an enterprise level.

ABSTRACT: NICHOLAS BORGE

Nicholas Borge (Founder, Impartial.AI) will explore what AI companies and non-AI companies that are looking to leverage new technologies can learn from traditional enterprises and startups alike when designing and implementing AI. He'll also share some of his experiences in starting an AI company that is both a user of such solutions, a developer of new applications, and a challenger to established industries and model of user/information interaction.
