SparkCognition,
the world's leading industrial artificial intelligence (AI) company, is
pleased to announce it will be hosting its second free virtual AI
thought-leadership event as part of its Time Machine 2020 AI Sessions series on September 2, 2020 from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm CDT. The second session's theme is "Abundant Economies, Resilient Societies: How AI Delivers Human Benefit."
In
the second interactive session, speakers will explore how AI is
reinventing the global supply chain. By optimizing local production and
supply and making it cost-competitive, AI systems can create new work
opportunities in our towns and cities, enable greater national security,
and deliver resilience against weather, pandemic, and economic shocks.
In addition to the speaking panels, attendees have the ability to ask
live questions to speakers and will be able to network through a virtual
reality exhibition hall.
