Make Machine-Human Connections At AI Conference Friday

SAN JOSE, CA -- Artificial Intelligence will be top of mind Friday with the Curiosity Conference — AI in Education: A Journey in the Making taking place in the heart of the Silicon Valley.

Some of the world's great minds will gather all day at the Corinthian in San Jose to discuss the design, learning and overall collective of how AI and the Internet compose the latest advances in technology.

Sessions will explore topics including the following:

• Reskilling for an AI future
• The need for ethical and inclusive technologies
• Designing for creativity
• Man vs. machine in the workforce
• Accelerating inclusion for all and reaching human fulfillment
• Reshaping education

Leroy Chiao, a former NASA astronaut and International Space Station Commander will join Alex Kaplan, who's considered a global leader of IBM Watson Education, in addition to technology officer Carl Ward of Accenture’s Public Services.

Top Silicon Valley investors will also be addressing attendees. They include: Steve Jurvetson of Future Ventures, Draper Fisher Jurvetson; Frank Caufield of Darwin Ventures; and Jihan Bowes-Little of Bracket Capital.

The conference presents the opportunity to network with partners and exhibiting companies, including members from NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute, Toyota, Anki and Stanford University.

"That's a large part of what goes on with these conferences," Silicon Valley Leadership Group Vice President of Technology and Innovation Peter Leroe Munoz said.

The South Bay tech business leader endorses events in which investors participate because of "the economic value that comes with it." Remember, it's been said that all it takes is one little idea to create a big stir that can change how humanity thinks. Having AI discussed in the same realm as education is something that will advance immersion technology that will serve to "supplement" a teacher's classroom for example.

Representatives from Harvard AI Initiatives, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standards Association (IEEE-SA) will also be on hand to make the machine-to-human connection of our world.

The event, with lunch and a cocktail hour, is slated for 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at 196 N. 3rd St.
