NEW YORK—Diagnosing an illness that confounds the experts. Accurately predicting the perfect product choice. Interpreting massive amounts of data and spotting trends. Machines that understand you and speak your language.

Each of these scenarios involve Artificial Intelligence (AI), the most transformative technology in today’s digital world. Retailers, health care providers, suppliers and marketers are discovering AI’s vast potential and learning how to combine this powerful new tool with human expertise to inform all areas of decision making.

“A-Eye - Artificial Intelligence: Supercharging Knowledge and Decision Making” is the program title of the 11th Annual Vision Monday Global Leadership Summit. “In this rapidly emerging field, in which new ideas and applications are being invented every day and knowledge is expanding exponentially, AI is already upon us, as businesses of all types ramp up their investment in this arena,” said Marge Axelrad, SVP/editorial director, Vision Monday.

Summit attendees will learn about the fundamentals of AI, including machine learning, robotics, natural language, predictive analytics and deep learning. Experts from across the AI spectrum will provide insights to the senior level optical retailers and vision care executives in the Summit audience.
