Keynote and Cognitive session at AI Bootcamp

Microsoft has organized the Artificial Intelligence boot camp to help folks jump start and get acquainted with their offerings on Microsoft technologies especially on cognitive services.  I was privileged to take the keynote session and then 2 hr long cognitive deep dive session  on Microsoft technologies.  In spite of heavy rainfall in gurgaon, we got a good 

audiences around 60+ to attend the event. Event start at around 10 AM with my keynote. It was very nice to see some of the common faces who came to attend the session from various places. Quiet a no. of college and engineering folks attended the session. I personally felt that it's so fortunate for these kids to get knowledge and understanding of Artificial intelligence during their college days. It would certainly boost up their future aspiration.  Certainly all most all companies would and are seeking people having AI and ML experience. I'm sure attending such session would definitely help them to jump start their career in field of Artificial Intelligence. Thanks to Microsoft for sponsoring the event.

I had a great time speaking about usage of Internet of Things(IOT) and Artificial Intelligence. Agriculture has its deep roots from the inception of human to its present day. Since the early age of humanity till date, agriculture has become the oldest and most vibrant area focusing on food supply. Technologies exist right now to help farmers take informed decision. Need of an hour is to educate farmers and avail these technologies at low cost, scale up high so we can roll it out to larger masses. I have also written an article about Life in Agri business with emerging technologies. In coming post, I would be sharing it soon
