It’s almost time to bring Data Natives x VentureBeat Transform to life. As part of VB’s week-long flagship AI conference, Data Natives is hosting half a day of amazing, educational content this Friday.
VentureBeat Transform 2021 takes place between July 12-16, 2021, and we’ve already had two incredible days of knowledge, networking, and new opportunities. The event is hosted online and includes a stellar cast of speakers and an array of great networking rooms and side events, such as the Women in AI breakfast.
In addition to the amazing speakers we’ve already announced for the Data Natives segment of the event – which airs on Friday, July 16 – we’re proud to announce some of the other inspirational leaders you’ll hear from. And since no event is possible without our incredible partners, here’s our chance to shine a spotlight on their work.
In a fireside chat with our very own Elena Poughia, Whurley will discuss how quantum computing will forever change the technology landscape and, potentially, the balance of international power – but not without your involvement. Currently CEO at Strangeworks, Whurley (William Hurley) is an Eisenhower Fellow, a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Liaison for Strategic Partnerships for the Entrepreneurship Steering Committee at the IEEE, the first Ambassador to CERN and Society, founding partner of the CERN Entrepreneurship Student Programme (CESP), and co-founder of EQUALS; The Global Partnership for Gender Equality in the Digital Age.
Kaoutar Chennaf is trying to unravel the mysteries of the world and reach the ultimate truth. And how does she do that? Through the lens of a data scientist. A master student-researcher at TU Berlin, Kaoutar started her journey with philosophy, maths, and computer science, before taking on data analysis. Her goal? To unravel the meaning of life through decent coding and data analysis. She’ll be discussing how AI is in charge of decisions that impact people’s lives and decisions – and what is coming next – during an inspiring panel session at Data Natives x VentureBeat Transform.
Toby Walsh is a Professor of Artificial Intelligence at UNSW in Sydney, Australia. He was named a “rock star” of Australia’s digital revolution, a fellow at the Australian Academy of Science, and a fellow at the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence. He has won the Humboldt research award and the NSW Premier’s Prize for Excellence in Engineering and ICT. Toby has played a leading role at the UN and elsewhere on the campaign to ban killer robots, and he is the author of “2062: The World that AI Made”.
