Our Takes from #CES2018
As #CES2018 comes to a close today, we are reminded how quickly our world is advancing. Companies are developing and implementing innovative technologies and designs that even 5 years ago never would have seemed possible. Innovators and Artificial Intelligence experts are leading the way with their new ideas, inventions, IoT, and electronics. Just a few we noticed that had our minds blown included Buddy the companion robot, an electric flying taxi, and even voice activated toilets (what?!)
As robots and artificial intelligence become more and more a part of everyday life, companies and individuals are consistently trying to remain on top of the trends and at the forefront of their own industry’s technological advancements.
Artificial Intelligence Speakers are experts at exploring this technology that computer systems are able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. If you are interested in hearing from an expert that can not only share their thoughts on the latest AI to come out of #CES2018, but also help push your company to the next level with cutting-edge technologies, check out our list of top 10 Artificial Intelligence (AI) speakers.
