TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2017 is all in on artificial intelligence and machine learning

More than half a century later, the disciplines have graduated from the theoretical to practical, real world applications. We'll have some of the top minds in both categories to discuss the latest advances and future of AI and ML on stage and Disrupt San Francisco in just over a month. We'll be joined on stage by Brian Krzanich of Intel, John Giannandrea of Google, Sebastian Thrun of Udacity and Andrew Ng of Baidu, to outline the various ways these cutting edge technologies are already impacting our lives, from simple smart assistants, to self-driving cars. It's a broad range of speakers, which is good news, because we've got a lot of ground to cover in some of the industry's most exciting advances. John (JG) Giannandrea, SVP Engineering at Google: Giannandrea joined Google in 2010, when the company acquired his startup Metaweb Technologies, a move that formed the basis for the search giant's Knowledge Graph technology.
