INSEAD and Impact Hub Singapore partnered with SGInnovate are proud to host a three-day event focused on two key areas in today's world – Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI & ML) have a wide range of applications that are already changing the way companies design their products and do business. According to Elon Musk in 2017, he said: "Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world."

Although the event will not focus on world domination, we would like to invite you to join us and to hear from the experts about the fairly enigmatic space of AI & ML, the trends in today's world, the companies that utilize AI & ML, and see real-life applications of AI & ML.
