Next month, Comcast will host PHLAI, a technical conference for engineers and professionals interested in and working with machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Well bring together local practitioners in A.I. and machine learning to discuss past experiences and common technological goals aimed at making peoples lives better. Attendees will learn about new ideas and best practices from experts in the field and hear about the latest developments in machine learning and artificial intelligence.

As an example, I was fortunate to be part of the team here at Comcast that used A.I. to launch our Xfinity X1 voice remote. That device has changed the way people watch television, and to date weve deployed more than 14 million of them in homes all across our service area from San Francisco to Philadelphia. And it keeps getting smarter, faster and more accurate every day, all thanks to machine learning.

The PHLAIconference will take place onTuesday, Aug.15 at Convene Cira Centre in Philadelphia.

Featured speakers will include:

And as part of the event, we also want to hear from those who are solving their own problems with A.I.

Practitioners can share their stories and submit proposals until July 14.

Attendees can register here(its free). We hope to see you there!
