Welcome to Silicon Valley Future Forum
- Artificial Intelligence & Investment
Software is eating the world, and artificial intelligence (AI) is eating software.
As AI pushes forward intelligent assistants to almost every aspect of our life, every company and innovator wants to be ready for its disruptive impact; and AI is surging in an unprecedented trend with the positioning of AI by venture capital and entrepreneurial innovations as next unclaimed treasure. If you’re wondering AI & investment booming, lessen what Silicon Valley elites are talking and look where the tech giants like Apple, Google, Microsoft and Intel are putting their money.
We’ll be exploring it over two intensive days at 2017 Silicon Valley Future Forum on Artificial Intelligence & Investment (SVFF 2017) that presents leading voices from AI ground over speeches, expos, and demos with focus on Deep Learning, Autonomous Driving, Big Data, IOT, FinTech and Investment.
Welcome to join this must attend event for investors, founders, scientists, engineers, students and other professionals. 1000+ attendees will come together to spark new partnerships and collaborations! We see a great potential of the forum to be a door opener for future, and expect the beauty to come out of it.
Last, I would like to thank all of our friends, partners and sponsors who helped make this great opportunity come alive.
