It's an AI World: Perspectives from @AIWorldExpo – Verve.ai

On Nov 7th, the AI World Expo kicked off in a week that had many international conferences occurring. After making the choice to forego Web Summit in Lisbon for this event, it was evident that the level of quality of content, attendees and hands on innovation in the #AIWorld Expo made it the ideal event for AI innovators, thought leaders and adopters. The concentration of hand-selected vendors who were pre-screened rigorously, and the agenda made the event a great launchpad to build new relationships, get some face time with pioneers, and spend quality time discussing the interests of each vendor seeking a competitive edge. It was an interesting outcome and dynamic for a group of people fascinated with and specializing in artificial interactions, chat bots, autonomous learning and IoT! To kick things off, highly engaging panelists representing the venture community discussed how difficult it was to tap into the mainstream of AI.
