Case Western Reserve University invites you to a session by Vice Dean Anurag Gupta of the Weatherhead School of Management on May 30, 2019 at AmCham Shanghai on "Applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Business". From self-driving cars to cancer diagnoses to interviewing people and numerous other applications, AI is radically transforming not only business but also our personal lives. It is helping create new products and services while rapidly disrupting existing industries. How can companies take advantage of the exploding growth in this area and create a sustainable competitive advantage? How should they deploy AI to increase operational efficiencies? How should they manage the interactions between human resources and algorithms? How is AI likely to shape our future?

In this presentation, Dr. Gupta will introduce the key concepts of AI, machine learning, deep learning and natural language processing, with broad outlines of key applications. He will go over the immense power as well as limitations of AI, guidelines for how to build a sustainable business strategy around AI solutions, and talk about ethical and operational challenges.


He will also introduce Case Western's MSM Finance program in Shanghai (in collaboration with SEM-Tongji). Case Western Reserve University is the premier research university in the state of Ohio and one of America's preeminent private research universities.
