My notes
Heroic stories from deploying commercial machine learning applications.
An interesting talk from Leo Poll, founder of Akendi, a UX agency based in Cambridge. His topic covered the use of chatbots: garbage in, garbage out. In testing, the chatbot could understand the 'what' but lost the 'who,' leading Akendi to remove the AI feature from their website.
