The extraordinary progress in AI over the last few years has been enabled, in part, by modern advancements in computing. Algorithmic ideas that had been around for decades have finally been brought to life thanks to Moore’s law and innovations in microprocessor and computing architectures (e.g., GPUs). With Moore’s law slowing down, we can expect to see new types of innovations emerge that will allow the rate of progress to continue. Dario Gil explores state-of-the-art computing for AI as it exists today as well as an innovation that will lead us into the decades to come: quantum computing for AI.

This keynote is sponsored by IBM Watson.
