The Applied Machine Learning Days – Anticipating the future of AI and its impact on people and on society

The Applied Machine Learning Days are one of the largest machine learning & AI events in Europe, focused specifically on the applications of machine learning and AI, making it particularly interesting to industry and academia.
Each month, a domain-specific track will feature top-level speakers, discussions and keynotes. Some tracks will be preceded or followed by a workshop day focussed on hand-on sessions, coding classes and tutorials.

On May 10th we'll be hosting the track Anticipating the future of Artificial Intelligence and its impact on people and on society. 
Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) will have a strong impact on people, society and the planet in the future. GESDA has worked towards a first mapping of scientific breakthroughs over time frame of 5 to 25 years. This mapping has been developed by consulting with some of the leaders in the field and will be released as part of of a major report later this year.
The developments  inevitably ask a series of moral and governance questions: How likely are they and what will be their impact on the future human society? What are the questions around co-development, access and use of advanced AI technologies? Will we move towards more human-machine cooperation or will machines gradually take over more and more human tasks?

The purpose of the session is twofold:

1. Anticipate the future of machine learning and AI with leaders from the field, from a science and engineering perspective.
2. Explore the implications of those developments on the ‘human’ and society as a whole, followed by a debate around governance issues.
