Panel discussion at “We are Developers”: The Potentials and Pitfalls of Machine Learning

Tuesday, July 10th, 2018 at 4:45 pm

Back in March I was at We are Developers in Vienna, Austria, gave a two hour workshop on using AI on the web, a talk about code not being the answer to everything and MCed on the main stage on the third day. Another fun thing to do was this panel discussion on the Pitfalls of Machine Learning talking about the ethics and the false definitions of AI we have to battle.

I want to thank all people involved:

Moderator:
Jan Mendling ( @janmendling ), Full Professor at Vienna University of Economics and Business

Panelists:
Charlotte Han ( @sunsiren ) , Deep Learning Marketing Manager at NVIDIA
Tuomas Syrjänen ( @TuomasSyrjanen ), CEO of Futurice
Christian Heilmann, Sr. Program Manager at Microsoft
Rainer Steffl, CIO at Mondi Group

If you want to hear more about this topic and learn how to deal with it, I have a Skillshare course out there :
