Pushing the Frontiers of AI: Project Debater

Experience a live debate between the first AI system to debate humans on complex topics, Project Debater, and a top human debater. During a twenty minute debate on a complex topic, Project Debater will digest massive texts, construct a well-structured speech, deliver it with clarity and purpose, and rebut its opponent. Join this session to learn more about the technology behind the system, witness the full live debate, ask questions to the scientists and vote on who was more persuasive, the AI or the human.

Access the Future Today: Quantum Computing

Quantum computing takes advantage of the laws of quantum mechanics found in nature and represents a fundamental change from classical information processing. For two years now, IBM has enabled more than 100,000 people around the globe to access quantum computers for learning, research, and tackling new problems. While still early, we believe it’s just a matter of time until we start using these devices to solve certain problems better than we can today. IBM’s Dario Gil will discuss this radically different approach to computing built on the laws of quantum mechanics and how the roadmap for mainstream adoption of this new technology is being forged today by IBM in collaboration with a global community across business, academia and research.

Trust and Ethics in Technology

We have reached another defining moment in the history of technology; one marked by exponential learning, thanks to unprecedented data and advanced tools like AI. As such, organizations can pursue opportunities like never before. But with empowerment comes responsibility -- to your customers, your industry, and your employees. Your IT infrastructure choices play an important role in building credibility and trust with your stakeholders. Hear from Tom Rosamilia, SVP, IBM Systems, about how you can enable technology for good and combat those who do the opposite. Technology is only as powerful as the people behind it, so learn how to leverage both with your infrastructure to drive exponential outcomes for your organization and your industry.

Open Source: The Cornerstone to Innovation and Future for the Enterprise

Open source is an accelerant for innovation. Its open exchange of ideas and technology has been central to advances as far-reaching as the space program to crypto currency to gaming as developers build on each other's ideas. It is the ultimate democratization of technology. Yet how do the principles of open source such as transparency, participation, and collaboration enable an enterprise to gain competitive advantage? Don't miss IBM CEO Ginni Rometty who will lead a panel of experts in a discussion on the future of open source, its impact on innovation in the enterprise, and the obligations enterprises have to the community.

Bold Decisions for Career Growth

Studies show the average human makes 35,000 decisions every single day. Some are personal. Some are professional. When it comes to your career, those decisions are personal AND professional. As you watch many of your leaders in action, have you ever wondered what bold decisions were made to get to a certain position or role? Was there a crossroad? Was it comfortable? Was there a challenge due to diversity? Were there regrets? No two careers look alike, but we can learn from others. Learn from some of the best leaders in the industry who champion, sponsor, support and mentor a diverse talent pool. Listen and engage as they share their experience on making bold, inclusive career decisions, the thought process, the struggle, and the rewards.
