FILE - In this May 13, 2015, file photo, Google's self-driving Lexus drives along a street during a demonstration at Google campus in Mountain View, Calif. While the Boston region is a center for robotics and artificial intelligence research, none of the Northeast states allows self-driving cars to be driven or tested on public roads. But Massachusetts officials are looking in 2016 at turning part of the former Devens military base into a self-driving testing ground. He wants to show you, immerse you and get you as excited as he is. The founder and CEO of By the Bay and Chief Scientist at the Cicero Institute has made a career out of not only understanding and developing AI, but bringing startups and enterprises into the fold, as well, with his developer meetups and conferences through AI By the Bay. AI By The Bay's latest conference happen March 6 through 8 in San Francisco, and Khrabrov has made it an event that developers are clamoring to attend.

He wants to show you, immerse you, and get you as excited as he is. The founder and CEO of By the Bay and Chief Scientist at the Cicero Institute has made a career out of not only understanding and developing AI, but bringing startups and enterprises into the fold, as well, with his developer meetups and conferences through AI By the Bay. AI By The Bay's latest conference happen March 6 through 8 in San Francisco, and Khrabrov has made it an event that developers are clamoring to attend. Attendees don't just hear about AI -- they get a chance to see live coding of major open-source AI and hear from some of the leaders in the field about their newest innovations. Khrabrov was kind enough to not only give me his take on the future of AI, but to tell me more about his upcoming conference. I run seven different meetups in San Francisco on data engineering and data science.
