Artificial intelligence isn’t science fiction anymore. It is at work in the world today, augmenting humans’ ability to do everything from finding more targeted cancer treatments to challenging a parking ticket to composing hit music. What does this mean for communication professionals?

This keynote address will cover:
- How data and cognitive systems like IBM Watson are transforming every industry and profession.
