Artificial Intelligence: Fundamentals and Transformative Impacts

In this keynote, Dr. Achin Bhowmik, a leader at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and human augmentation, will explore the fundamentals and transformative impacts of AI.

Drawing from his extensive experience at Intel and Starkey, as well as his academic roles at Stanford, Dr. Bhowmik will take the audience on a journey through the evolution of AI—from its roots in early neural networks to its current applications in large-language models and state-of-the-art medical devices.

Dr. Bhowmik will also discuss the broader implications of AI, highlighting how enormous datasets, advanced neural architectures, and unprecedented computational power are pushing the boundaries of what machines can achieve.

Whether you're an AI enthusiast, a business professional, or simply curious about the future of technology, join us to explore how AI is not just a tool for automation but quickly evolving into a partner in enhancing human potential.
