Smarter World - A New Normal
Event Description

‘Smart’ and ‘Connected’ are two of the most important keywords in the new industry scenario. Here the power of ICT is being progressively realized as every facet of modern-day society is becoming digitally connected and data-driven, the intelligence of which automates our world. This has even percolated to the government, where government to citizen connect and inter government connect is becoming very important for better livelihood of citizens. Machine learning & Artificial Intelligence in collaboration with IoT is enabling us to create a smarter Connected World.

From SIRI to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence (AI) is progressing rapidly. While science fiction often portrays AI as robots with human-like characteristics, AI can encompass anything from Google’s search algorithms to IBM’s Watson to autonomous weapons. Enterprises mostly use robotics to automate repetitive tasks in controlled manufacturing environments for materials handling, assembly processes, and quality checks. But, as robotics technology advances, enterprises can use it to automate a wider range of business processes, customer interactions, or new product development. 

Keeping these in context, CII Eastern Region is organizing the 16th edition of ICT East on 7 – 8 September 2017 at ITC Sonar, Kolkata. The central theme of the 2-day conference is “Smarter World – A New Normal”.

The Smarter World heralds an era of unlimited potential to change the industrial landscape. ICT East 2017 will focus on areas of intelligent systems and artificial intelligence (AI) and how it applies to the real world. The conference will provide a leading discussion and networking forum that brings together the industry leaders and the government officials from around the country with the purpose of exploring the fundamental roles, interactions as well as practical impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Internet of Things (IoT). Smarter World is impacting existing day to day life and industry value chains, business models and workforces, and what actions business leaders must take to ensure long-term success and real return on investments.
