Let’s come together on Oct 25th to drive cross-industry discussion on "Safe AI" and enable an autonomous tomorrow.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have taken off in recent years, and have advanced to the point where they are beginning to become integrated into our daily lives. However, one area of AI/ML that is still in its infant stages and warrants much needed attention is "Safe Autonomy". Safety in AI-based systems is critical and undoubtedly one of the most difficult challenges to solve. At PRECISE's 6th Annual Industry Day Conference, experts from both industry and academia will gather to present about and discuss this topic in depth, across various industries (automotive, medical, etc.). You will learn about the latest advancements in the field of "Safe AI", and have the unique opportunity to network with subject matter experts to share information and be part of a movement that is taking AI to the next level in its evolution.

Our speakers, who are leaders in their field, will attempt to address critical questions such as:
