Sponsors: Organisation Partner:

We make Artificial Intelligence tangible for you. The German edition of the MIT Technology Review has been reporting on new developments in this field for years. In 2013 we have already launched the question: „Computers do the work, what do we do?” Now at our “Innovators Summit AI”, we bring together relevant experts from business and science to explore the real potential of this new technology in comprehensive lec-tures, real case studies and inspiring workshops.

We believe that AI will change almost every business field - from automotive industry to medical industry to logistics. But we also know that their true potential is still overestimated while unde-restimated at the same time. Overrated because technology is reaching its limits. Underestimated, because the existing AI systems already mean major changes for individual companies and whole industries .The key questions are: Where is technology moving to? What about the relevant business model? How far is the competition?

Good answers seem rare. For this reason, the Technology Review editorial team has launched the „Innovators Summit AI“.

INNOVATORS SUMMIT AI (20-21 NOV 2018, MUNICH)

THE „INNOVATORS SUMMIT AI“ OFFERS

Overview and outlook:

Top-class scientists present the current state of AI research, explain the important technologies in the field of arti-ficial intelligence including their advantages and disadvantages and answer the question: For which application is which technology suitable? Which further developments are to be expected where?

Applications and business models:

With AlphaGo‘s victory over the world‘s best Go player at the latest, it is clear what potential Artificial Intelligence theoretically has. However, it is much less clear which applications result from this. In concrete case studies, star-tups and established companies explain how to use AI profitably, what implementation means for an organizati-on, where the pitfalls and opportunities are waiting.

Cross-innovation and inspiration:

Learn from other industries. Because with artificial intelligence in particular, the similarities between the different markets are greater than the differences. The combination of lectures and workshops gives you excellent oppor-tunities to network and exchange ideas.

PROGRAM Day 1 (20 November 2018)

Session 1: From Natural to Artificial Intelligence

9:00 am Registration

9:30 am Keynote speech - How Artificial Intelligence changes business processes and what it means for people // Prof. Wolfgang Wahlster, Chairman of the Management Board and Tech-nical-Scientific Director of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence GmbH

10:00 am Partner-Keynote

10:20 am Talk - Advancing AI: What current brain research teaches us // Moritz Helmstaedter, Managing Director, Max Planck Institute for Brain Research

Current machine learning techniques like Deep Learning are based on brain research done in the 60ies of the last century. Now, new research is well on the way to bringing AI to the next level. Espe-cially revealing the connectome, how brain cells are connected to each other, will bring fundamental new insights. Moritz Helmstaedter is at the forefront of this research and will talk about the road to a much more human like AI.

10:30 am Coffee break

Session 2: From Analytics to automated Decisions

11:00 am Talk - Are AI systems ready for automated decisions? // Prof.Damian Borth, Artificial In-telligence / Machine Learning, University of St.Gallen (HSG)

Computers can easily be misled into making mistakes: They recognize gibbons in pictures showing a panda, or they classify a turtle as a gun. Researchers succeed in doing this by inserting tiny chan-ges into the images that are invisible to the human eye - so-called adversarial attacks. What is with panda’s gimmick can become deadly serious in autonomous driving. Moreover, these errors are by no means limited to image recognition. They can occur in almost any machine learning application, from production data analysis to speech recognition. This can turn automatically made decisions into serious misconclusions. The lecture shows how today’s AI systems make decisions, which problems arise from them - and how they can be avoided.

11:20 am Case studies - Automated decision systems // Peter Gocke, CDO CharitÈ

Overcoming the savant-syndrome // Tom Krause, CTO Cargonexx

12:00 pm Lunch break

Session 3: From Man to Machine

1:30 pm Talk - The bridge between natural and artificial intelligence // Prof. Sami Haddadin, founding Director of the Munich School of Robotics and Machine Intelligence, founder Franka Emika GmbH, winner of the German Future Prize 2017

Man and machine are moving closer together than ever before, artificial and natural intelligence are increasingly forming a system. Examples range from soft robotics in industrial production to chat bots, automated decisions and autonomous cars. The great danger is therefore not the fight between man and machine - but that of man and machine. Poorly thought-out interfaces between

PROGRAM

artificial and natural intelligence can lead in the harmless case to misunderstandings, in the worst case to serious wrong decisions and accidents. Anyone who knows the limits of current AI systems and the fundamental differences between machine and human intelligence can evade them - and develop systems that really help people.

1:50 pm Case Studies - Interface Solutions // Moritz Tenorth, CTO Magazino

Disappearing User Interfaces? Advancing the Transition from Traditional to Truly Conversational Human-Machine-Interaction // Dr. Norbert Pfleger, CEO SemVox

2:30 pm Coffee break

Session 4: From Technology to Strategy

3:30 pm Talk – A strategic view on AI // Andreas Liebl, Managing Director of applied AI, UnternehmerTUM

Artificial intelligence as the final goal of machine learning is a remarkable technological advance-ment. It’s implementation and capabilities however have strategic implications for companies. Busi-ness models will change and the challenges companies face on their path to AI adoption are unique. Andreas Liebl and his team have developed and tested a strategy framework to take the challenges on our way into the AI age. In his talk he moves from the technological argument towards an eco-nomic view and strategic questions.

3:50 pm Partner Keynote

4:10 pm Case Studies – Industrial Automation AI is not a product, it is a feature // Jackson Bond, Co-Founder, Chief Industry Evangelist, New Business relayr

Becoming an AI-powered company is useless - unless you know exactly, what AI should do to your business outcomes. Implementing it means focussing on the results and not on the technology itself, and understanding that AI is just one part of a larger package. Jackson Bond will highlight cases from engineering companies, showing what it means to implement AI enabled solutions in industrial processes - and how you know if you need it.

5:10 pm Talk - What´s next? How Machine Learning on Quantum Computers will power the future // Andy Mason, D-Wave Systems Ltd.

Under specific circumstances, Quantum Computers are millions of times faster than any classical computer. D-Wave, the Pioneer in this field, already showed together with Volkswagen, that its ma-chines can simulate city traffic, forecasting traffic jams and solving the complex problem of finding the perfect route. Now it works on applying machine learning algorithms to its quantum computers. What will this mean for the future of AI?

5:30 pm Networking & Winter BBQ
