Machine Learning 101

October 24, 12 – 1 p.m. | Startup Edmonton (301 – 10359 104 St NW)

With this deluge of information comes hopes and aspirations, fears and misconceptions – some justified and others not. How can we make sense of it all? Join Amii as we pull back the curtain on AI and lay a pragmatic foundation for what AI is, what it isn’t, and how you can begin to think about the place of AI in your business. RSVP Here!
