Dario Gil, IBM Research
Speaker
Abstract
This talk explores the new frontiers of information technology, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence and quantum computing. We will also discuss the role of the scientist inside commercial ventures in the generation and advancement of “beautiful ideas” and the power that consensus (or lack of thereof) has in organizations in ultimately creating value from scientific and technological breakthroughs.
