The Artificial Intelligence Startup Battle where the jury is an algorithm keeps on traveling around the world! We are glad to announce our next stop: São Paulo, Brazil, on December 9, 2016. This will be the third edition of a series of very exciting battles, where five AI startups compete with each other and are judged by a Machine Learning algorithm, with no human involvement. The world's premiere Artificial Intelligence Startup Battle took place in Valencia, Spain, last March 2016, when Telefónica Open Future_ and BigML presented PreSeries to the world. The reaction of the audience was extremely positive!

Machine Learning is enabling a transformation in the software industry without precedents. New machine-learning powered predictive applications are performing jobs that so far were considered exclusive to highly skilled humans. We will soon witness a new wave of productivity growth that will change the face of all sectors of the economy. In collaboration with Las Naves, we are bringing the second series of a summer school in Machine Learning to Valencia. BigML will hold a two-day summer school for advanced undergraduates as well as graduate students, and industry practitioners seeking a quick, practical, and hands-on introduction to Machine Learning.
