Time for another segment of the Infinite Possibilities Series! We'll begin with a high level overview of Machine Learning from our local interest group. Next an impressive array of presenters will discuss the algorithm that makes it all possible, explore job automation and elimination, and show off how a local startup is incorporating machine learning. You'll also have the chance to hear how AI and predictive analytics are being incorporated in the surgical field. As always, we'll dive into the ethical implications of the technology — is AI about to take over YOUR job?
