Beyond mere theory and speculation, you’ll see firsthand the very real developments in Knowledge Technology, Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems, Visualization, and Knowledge Networking Systems.

Future trends conclude the seminar. Planning and methodologies for the practical applications of knowledge engineering are reviewed along with anticipation technologies are discussed as issues for future users and designers of artificial intelligence. The seminar ends with a renewed emphasis of the need for a working relationship between the people and the technology: “The interdependence of technology and human behavior cannot be overemphasized.”

Seminar evaluation: “Tom’s insights far exceeded my expectations with his viable approach to AI strategies along with strategic business assessments are concepts that I can put to use organizing our own AI strategy.” Paul D. CEO

Book review: “As the CEO of an energy industrial company and actively involved in CEO Leadership Forums I have been following AI for more than a decade.  Indeed the promises for improving many technical tasks are interesting yet in reality often prove more complex to manage than proposed.  MindMeld was very profound in proposing that AI starts not at the bottom of the organization but with CXO decision-making and worth reading by anyone in or rising to the boardroom.” George B. CEO
