Title: The Democratization & Industrialization of AI
Abstract: As Artificial Intelligence is gaining in popularity a number of challenges stand in the way of making it broadly usable. The recent advances are due to increased computing power, larger data sets and the further development of artificial neural networks, now commonly called “deep learning”. While impressive results can be achieved, it requires expert knowledge and specialized hardware. Furthermore no standard software engineering practice of machine learning exists so to achieve industrial grade quality and reliability requires custom expensive tooling to be developed. This talk will focus on explaining the basics of modern, deep learning based AI systems and the challenges of making it usable in practice for a broader range of industries.
