Conversica Chief Scientist, Dr. Sid J. Reddy
Today’s leaders recognize intuitively that artificial intelligence and related technologies are poised to fundamentally change the way business is done. I look forward to helping them understand actions they can take today and why those are both technologically sound as well as effective.
Foster City, CA (PRWEB) October 23, 2017
Conversica, the leader in conversational AI for business, today announced that Chief Scientist Dr. Sid J. Reddy will be a featured speaker at two industry-leading AI conferences in the coming month, as well as keynote a global webcast in December.
At this week’s VentureBeat Summit, Dr. Reddy will discuss how conversational AI is transforming organizations’ lead generation processes and will provide a demonstration of Conversica’s conversational AI platform during the Summit’s Innovation Showcase, which features the top five most promising AI technologies selected by the conference chair.
At the upcoming AI Expo North America, focused on “delivering AI for a smarter future,” Dr. Reddy will speak on “Conversational AI – Basics and Design Considerations: Lessons Learned from Millions of AI Conversations for Thousands of Customers” and will introduce Conversica’s artificial intelligence approach to creating, deploying, and continuously improving an AI-based autonomous sales assistant. In the session, Dr. Reddy will also present techniques and empirical data for assessing the effectiveness of conversational AI.
Both conferences share the common goal of uniting technology and business leaders to better understand, assess and deploy artificial intelligence-powered technologies in the enterprise. Dr. Reddy, a broadly recognized expert in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and computational linguistics, will provide a unique perspective on how organizations are successfully integrating applied-AI solutions such as Conversica’s platform.
“I am excited and honored to present both technological and business perspectives on AI at these important industry events,” commented Dr. Reddy. “Today’s leaders recognize intuitively that artificial intelligence and related technologies are poised to fundamentally change the way business is done and that a wait-and-see stance is no longer necessary nor prudent. I look forward to helping them understand actions they can take today and why those are both technologically sound as well as effective.”
Those not attending these conferences can join Dr. Reddy for a live webcast on December 12, titled “Natural Language Processing exposed: the art, the science and the applications.” Registration is free at http://con.ai/nlp-webcast-12, thanks to the generosity of Conversica partner BrightTALK.
