In May 1997, IBM's Deep Blue became the first computer chess-playing system to beat a reigning world chess champion. In March 2016, Google's DeepMind computer program AlphaGo beat the world's No. 1 player of the ancient Chinese board game, Go.

From cognitive computing to deep learning, this panel will explore how AI will disrupt industries, businesses, and societies
