AI & Machine Learning
Hardly a day goes by when we’re not hearing about AI, machine learning, algorithms, and the future of man and machine. It’s all about data and Driving Growth in the Data Economy the theme of Outsell’s Signature Event, co-produced with JEGI this October 4–5 at the beautiful Boston Harbor Hotel. We’ll hear from the top emerging companies using data and analytics, chosen from over 250 selected from our analysts, OLC members, and evaluated against strict criteria. Then, we’ll go straight into a series of hard-hitting case-studies by our industry’s preeminent leaders.
Last week I blogged about the upcoming presentation by Ken Michaels and David Levin. Following them will be a compelling discussion about what comes beyond content, software and services, and what it means to enter the machine learning and AI era.
No company has been more at the fore of this topic than IBM Watson, and IBM has surprised the industry by buying content assets to “feed the beast.” As we say here at Outsell: the machines need data. So, in addition to The Weather Channel, last year IBM announced another big deal. It bought Truven, a well-respected leading company in the medical information space and a one-time spinout of Thomson Reuters. Leading that firm, and leading the sale to Truven and now operating as its President and CEO inside Watson Health, is Mike Boswood who has long been an industry visionary focused on, and living, what comes next. When it is time to think about building and implementing these solutions, there is no better leader to turn to. Join us for essential lessons and ideas on building solutions in this era from a leader who knows what works and what doesn’t, a leader in a strong position who is willing to share his views. We can’t wait.
Our team also can’t wait to see you at the leading data and information industry event designed just for CEOs, COOs, Managing Directors, and Presidents in the industry. Learn new things, get deals done, meet new people, and give yourself a break with a day and a half of white space to reflect on your business and the year ahead. We guarantee you’ll love it.
