WISDOM WEDNESDAY
with guest Rob Slee
OCTOBER 20 , 2021 | 12 PM | VIRTUAL EVENT
Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence are giving us the ability to flourish like never before… or are they? What does it really mean to flourish? Can we align AI and the potential of superintelligence so that everyone has opportunities to thrive? Who is in control and how can we direct the impact AI has in our lives?
Join us for a discussion with Rob Slee, author, investment banker, mentor, and Co-Founder of Sky AI, the worldwide commercialization arm of Skymind Holdings Berhad, a leading global AI firm.
Sky AI is currently implementing AI in several cannabis cultivation facilities it owns to completely control – in real time – all the critical variables in the growing cycle. Sky AI was the first AI to be used in Wuhan to detect COVID 19 in 2019.
