Danny Lopez (Blippar) on How AR & AI Technologies Impact Our Lives Today | TNW Conference 2017

How AR & AI Technologies Impact Our Lives Today AI is already deeply embedded in our economic infrastructure, and the applications seem endless: Financial institutions rely on it for stock trading and fraud prevention; doctors and hospitals depend on it for diagnoses; it's what makes driverless cars get where they're going. AR started having an impact more recently but is already changing the way marketers reach consumers, the way consumers shop and fans engage with their favorite artists. This session will explore what's next for AI and AR and the many benefits they present.
