A Crash Course in AI: Everything You Wanted to Know About AI but Are Afraid to Ask!

Taught by Dr. Ronjon Nag, a seasoned entrepreneur and Stanford lecturer, who has founded and advised companies sold to Motorola, BlackBerry and Apple.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a term that is widely used and abused everywhere and has given rise to powerful techniques known as neural networks and deep learning. However, what do these terms mean and what is hype and what is real. This is a one day course which will demystify artificial intelligence techniques for executives, product managers, and software engineers. The course is accessible to all levels of experience and will also give an opportunity to network with executives, investors and entrepreneurs. This highly curated one day event will be held at a beautiful venue of historical significance in central London. Capacity will be limited.

​Additionally, there will be an invite-only dinner in the evening for a small group of guests to discuss AI and Healthcare opportunities.
