The Future is Now: Practical AI, Computer Vision, and Emerging Technologies

About the class

Artificial intelligence (AI), Computer Vision, and the Algorithms behind them can seem more like science fiction than tangible tech. However, these frameworks are already being used by the world’s leading companies in practical and valuable ways.

Engaging with these technologies presents great opportunities, but some of the concepts can be intimidating to approach — what does AI actually entail beyond being a buzzword? How does computer vision work and what potential pitfalls do we need to be mindful of? How can we take all of this learning and incorporate it into better products?

Join us for this dynamic online summit and learn from industry experts including Jonathan Assayag, Senior Manager (PM/UX/BI) at Amazon Echo Frames, Kelly Moreira, Software Engineer, Data Scientist, and Developer Advocate at Roboflow, and Aishwarya Srinivasan, Data Scientist at Google Cloud AI Services.

Gain invaluable insights and learn how to set yourself up for success with world-class learning opportunities from Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science Executive Education.
