Data & Technology Outlook: Future of AI and Data-Driven Business Applications

A fireside chat with James Phillips of Microsoft and Michael Franklin, Liew Family Chair of Computer Science at UChicago, on the future of augmented and mixed reality, data for enterprise, and other technologies for startups, incumbents, and the future of work.

Part of the CDAC 2021 Data & Technology Outlook Series:

Many of the data science and computational tools that revolutionized the modern business landscape resulted from close collaborations between industry and academia. Tomorrow’s innovations are under construction today in R&D departments and university laboratories, where researchers develop solutions to the most pressing data challenges across fields.

This winter, the Center for Data and Computing (CDAC) at the University of Chicago presents a series of critical conversations between industry leaders and researchers pushing the frontiers of data science forward, presenting and discussing new tools in artificial intelligence, data analysis and discovery, security and privacy, that will define the next decade of data technology in science and industry. The Outlook series will provide a balanced understanding of the trends reshaping business and tech with the goal of translating hype into realistic predictions.
