About the event

In this talk, Dr. Lee will explain the four waves of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and how AI will permeate every part of our lives in the next decade. The talk will explain the differences between this technology revolution and previous ones -- it will be faster and be driven by not one superpower, but two (US and China). AI will add $16 trillion to global GDP, but also cause many challenges that will be difficult to solve.
