Past Events

We had an excellent discussion with Dr Kai-Fu Lee, author of the best-selling “AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order,” at the Chamber on 15 July. He updated members on how artificial intelligence will continue to change the world, now that its ability to understand language has improved beyond human capabilities and as the volume of data available continues to grow. His predictions include much faster drug discovery, which will greatly reduce healthcare costs; global energy needs being met by solar and battery manufacturing; and the ongoing development of autonomous cars to a point where human drivers could be banned from highways.
