DataStax CEO to Discuss the Impact of AI on Transparent Data Collection and Protection at Economist Events' Innovation Summit


DataStax, the leading provider of the always-on data layer for the Right-Now Enterprise, announced that CEO Billy Bosworth will be a panelist for a strategy session, discussing the role of AI and data collection and protection at The Economist Events' Innovation Summit on March 22, 2018 in Chicago.

Moderated by Economist editors, the Innovation Summit gathers leading thinkers and practitioners - from Fortune 500 CEOs, policymakers, academics and disruptive entrepreneurs - to share their insights and strategies for successfully embracing AI and machine learning to build a truly intelligent company and explore the opportunities and challenges they face.

WHAT: Strategy Session - Mind the Gap: AI Haves and Have-Nots

The panel will discuss the need to demand transparency of governments and businesses around data collection and protection - and the role of AI in this ongoing process. What are the rights that consumers have to their own data, and what are the responsibilities that the public and private sectors have to protect that information? Panelists will also speak to the struggles that smaller companies and start-ups face in competing and scaling against the data and cloud titans in collecting and analyzing this data.
