Canadian AI Industry Track: Call for Communication
Canadian AI 2022 invites industry researchers, developers, entrepreneurs and emerging startups to take part in the upcoming Industry Track of the 35th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Toronto, Ontario (virtually).
As an industrial contributor, you will have the opportunity to share your experience, get insight from the global network of academic experts and researchers, and meet graduate students interested in your activities.
For this edition, the highlighted topic for this track will be Industrial AI: AI-bank of the future.
Artificial intelligence technologies are increasingly integral to the world we live in, and banks need to deploy these technologies at scale to remain relevant. Success requires a holistic transformation spanning multiple layers of the organization.
The track will have two sessions:
- A one-hour roundtable to exchange on this year highlighted topic AI you can bank on, followed by 15 minutes of questions.
We are delighted to welcome the following participants to the roundtable.
