AI and ML - what’s all the fuss about?   

We're told artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) could transform our businesses. Is this just marketing hype or will these technologies deliver the promised benefits? Come along and find out. 

CloudCamp is a vendor-neutral unconference where adopters of Cloud Computing technologies exchange ideas and share their experience. At CloudCamp, you are encouraged to share your thoughts, opinions and experience in several open discussions.

As usual CloudCamp London will be an opportunity to network with end-users, IT professionals and vendors, meet old friends and new, grab a beer or two ready for a few short interesting talks and then the lively unpanel debates, followed by pizza and drinks. 

The evening's proceedings will be MC'd by @swardley, @joebaguley and @cpswan.

We keep vendor sales pitches to a minimum by giving the audience 'red cards' if you don't like what the speakers are saying send them off!

The Agenda

Registration and networking from 6 pm

Kick-off 6.30pm

• Introduction to CloudCamp - Simon Wardley
• Lightning Talks - short 5 minute educational, non-sales, entertaining talks.

1. Charles Clayton @charliekclayton  - "What must we all require from AI & ML” With these technologies now being deployed into areas that have consequential outcomes for individuals, shouldn't we require that the AI & ML systems used can demonstrate their reliability? That they are open and transparent? That the decisions they arrive at are explainable? That someone is responsible and accountable when things go wrong?

2. Dr Lili Tcheang @Strategicblue- “Can AI solve real world situations”
3. Sam Ward @NomadCoder88 - “Intelligently Artificial Intelligence” A quick technical dive into the limitations of conventional approaches to AI/ML and a look at the effectiveness of marketing ‘clever’ code.
4. Diego Oppenheimer @doppenhe - "What to expect when you're expecting ML"
5. Pieter Cailliau @cailliaup - "Why data locality for AI/DL matters and model serving should be backend agnostic"
6. Kuan Hon @kuan0  - “Impact of GDPR on AI/ML”
7. David Kemp @microfocus - “Who's afraid of the Big Bad Bot?"
