Deep Learning has enabled many practical applications of Artificial Intelligence in today’s digital organizations. Deep learning breaks down tasks in ways that makes all kinds of machine aids seem possible, even likely. Driverless cars, better image recognition, more effective medical diagnoses, AI-generated art, even better language models, are all here today. Mr. Perez will identify what organizations need to do today to embrace the future, starting with the basics: empowering their employees and turbocharging the organization’s digital transformation strategy. Organizations then can then launch pilots for the most promising opportunities, leveraging “state of the art” cases from today’s global innovators such as Google, OpenAI, Meta, Apple and Tesla. Mr. Perez will show organizations how to kick start their digital impact transformation.

Classical computing was invented in the 1940s; the advent of Quantum Computing will make these computers look painfully slow.Calculations that would take longer than a human’s life span to work out on a classic computer can be completed in a matter of hours or minutes with QC. Furthermore, it will enable solving a set of problems that couldn’t be solved before. Quantum Computing’s benefits include efficiently simulating new drug molecules and dramatically reducing the time complex financial calculations take, among many others. For optimization, sampling or search problems, this promises dramatic speedups. Mr. Perez will reveal why Quantum Computing will disrupt companies in every industry.

The Importance of the Cybersecurity Framework for Directors and CEOs

An email embedded with malware. Security systems hacked by thieves. Credit card numbers stolen from store purchases. There’s certainly no shortage of examples when it comes to data security breaches and the havoc they wreak on business. No wonder then that nearly a third of CEOs in a KPMG’s global survey identified cyber security as the issue having the biggest impact on their companies today. Every organization should apply a cybersecurity framework for analyzing cyber security, and ideally it should be integrated into an organization’s existing enterprise risk framework. The most innovative companies today have recognized that cyber security is a customer experience and revenue opportunity, not just a risk that needs to be managed. Mr. Perez will explain why this must be done across the entire organization and why CEOs and directors have the most important role to play.

The Metaverse is the next iteration of the Internet. It will transform long-standing industries such as finance, retail, manufacturing, healthcare fitness, and much more.

The Metaverse is the next iteration of the Internet. It will transform long-standing industries such as finance, retail, manufacturing, healthcare fitness, and much more. However, the array of technologies that will enable the Metaverse, including VR, AR, 5G, and AI, raise issues of privacy and data security. In immersive worlds, these technologies will siphon up data at an increasingly granular level, a person’s gait, eye movements, emotions and more, putting far greater strain on existing safeguards. Mr. Perez will review the strategies companies and governments will develop to welcome the Metaverse-shaped data economy.
