Niagara Summit: Will ESG Lead to One Enterprise System of Record

Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) is today’s acronym for the heightened imperative imposed on enterprises to report on their progress toward safety and regulatory goals. Leaders are looking for easy, customizable and frictionless solutions to help them meet ESG challenges – and they are finding the Niagara Framework. This panel will discuss an enterprise system-of-record that enables real-time operation data from Niagara to feed enterprise business apps, such that C-suite decision-makers have at-their-fingertips access to Healthy Building status, Energy Efficiency savings, Carbon Footprint data and more.

Milken Institute: Beyond the Robot Singularity

Substantial new investments in artificial intelligence and “deep learning” are transforming the way humans live, work, and do business. They lay the groundwork for a future in which A.I. designs new drugs, fights cybercrime, and commands the global supply chain. Where are the opportunities for advanced A.I. technology to be most helpful, disruptive, or perhaps counterintuitively benign...and what could possibly go wrong?

SXSW: AI to Predict Player Success in Baseball

Sports franchises have built an entire industry on accurate player scouting and analysis so they can find the best players to help them win. However, many of the practices in sports scouting are archaic in nature. Using artificial intelligence is a much more efficient way to predict the future success of a prospect. Because of AI’s ability to consider multiple facets of data and how they correlate, it can provide a more complete perspective on the future capabilities of any prospect.

World of Watson: Using Cognitive Approach to Transform the Experience of Aircraft Maintenance

To build the future often you must transcend existing paradigms. Aircraft maintenance manuals are the first line of defense and official source for troubleshooting maintenance issues on an aircraft. For many years aircraft manuals have been constrained by the paradigm of a book. Books are great, but they also have their limitations. Can you read from two chapters at once? How easy is it to find what you are looking for in a book?  What happens when we challenge that original assumption and integrate sophisticated machine learning and advanced data access to the world of aircraft maintenance manuals? Powered by Cognitive technologies, Honeywell and SparkCognition are delivering improved experience, faster troubleshooting, and data collection and analysis in the moment of need that is pushing aircraft maintenance experience into a new era.

Artificial Intelligence 3.0: How close are we to building the mind of Tom Brady?

This is the third wave of enthusiasm around AI, a field of study that has been around for more than 60 years. AI 3.0 promises to get us closer to machines with human-like intelligence and change every aspect of our lives including the way we play, operate and consume sports. Is the promise of AI 3.0 real?
