A few years ago, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its vocabulary were limited to engineers, data scientists, and technology enthusiasts. Not anymore.
Once considered futuristic (think self-driving cars), today AI is being applied across businesses for a variety of reasons. From increasing in-store footfalls to improving customer service using chatbots, and helping farmers get the best price for their produce, AI is dramatically changing how people are doing business. No longer limited to high-end engineering tasks in advanced tech organisations, AI is now becoming a must-have tool for engineers and architects even in emerging young startups.
But, as a startup, how do you make the most of AI for your business?
Helping you with the answer to this question is Amazon, a leading AI expert, at the Amazon AI Conclave to be held in Bengaluru on December 14 and 15.

Learn from two decades of rich AI experience
For over 20 years, Amazon has been investing deeply in Artificial Intelligence. Today, Machine learning (ML) algorithms drive many of their internal systems. It's also core to the capabilities their customers experience – from the path optimisation in their fulfilment centres, and Amazon.com’s recommendations engine, to Echo powered by Alexa, their drone initiative Prime Air, and even their new retail experience Amazon Go.
The e-commerce giant is now on a bigger mission to share their learnings and ML capabilities as fully managed services, and put them into the hands of every developer and data scientist. The Amazon AI Conclave is a step in that direction.
Three reasons why the Amazon AI conclave is a must-attend event for startups and tech enthusiasts like you
1: You get to be at the heart of the happening AI scene and get all the insights
The Conclave is bringing together key contributors from the AI ecosystem, showcasing leading work in the field and driving broader awareness and adoption of AI. This year, the event will have both business and technical sessions, awards, demos, showcases and enterprise and investor connection sessions. The showcase zone will enable you to see how companies like Haptik, IRA.ai, Qure.ai, Vernacular.ai and Tessact are powering cutting-edge technologies in AI.
2: The two-day conclave has a distinctive agenda to meet the needs of enterprise and startup CXOs as well as developers, data scientists and architects
Day 1 of the conference has been designed for enterprise and startup CXOs. A keynote address by Charles Elkan, Amazon Fellow and Director of the Amazon AI Lab, who will also share a larger perspective on AI at Amazon, will be followed by a session on AI at AWS by Ranju Das, Director, Software Development, Amazon Rekognition and Vikram Anbazhagan, Senior Product Manager, AWS Deep Learning. Adam Berns, Director, Business Development, Alexa Voice Service, will provide an overview of Alexa. AI case study overviews, the AI awards and networking make up the rest of the day’s events.
