Age of AI Conference 2018 – Day 1 Highlights

These are some of the highlights from the Day 1 of the Age of AI Conference, held on January 31 and February 1, 2018, at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco. The Conference owes its origins in the San Francisco Artificial Intelligence meetup that Emil Mikhailov started for the interested ones to learn, network and share. The community now boasts of 4,700 members and has previously hosted heavyweights like Andrew Ng and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The Regency Ballroom boasts good location and acoustics. The best part was the technical focus of the Conference, well punctuated with some'global minima' but thought-provokingtouches.I will strive to do some justice to the rich technical content.
