Abstract

The age of artificial intelligence has begun. As it continues to proliferate into every facet of our lives,  people, organisations, and entire countries are being forced to consider, not if, but how they adopt or  grow their use of this technology to avoid being left behind.

In this webinar, we will delve into the minds those making this consideration on behalf of some of the world's most successful aerospace organisations. We will explore and discuss a range of topics: from technical research pushing the boundaries of what is known about AI, to the business strategies that balance novel solutions with an appropriate return on investment. Join us for this discussion to learn about the rapidly evolving intersection of aerospace and artificial intelligence, and to meet the people making it happen.

What are the USPs of this event? 
Why would someone attend? What are the top three things people will learn by attending? Please make this more specific than “networking” and “knowledge sharing”

Up-to-date insights from industry about how they are applying AI in their aerospace-leading  companies. The field of AI is changing rapidly, so timely updates are crucial to understanding the pace of change.
