Rise of the Machines Other events...
A public lecture by Hugh Durrant-Whyte, ARC Federation Fellow, the University of Sydney.

Digital disruption - data analytics, computing, automation and robotics - is transforming the world we live in, challenging and destroying conventional business models, but in the digital wake providing new opportunities for industries not yet dreamed of and opportunities for profound social and economic change. This conversation will paint an Australian picture of digital disruption, from the rise of robotics in key industry sectors such as mining and agriculture, to the increasing use of massive real-time data in these sectors, for modelling for prediction and for decision making. Together these are building a future of data-driven and autonomous operation for whole industries in Australia. The conversation will also talk about how this disruption is creating new businesses in robotics, data science and autonomous decision making - and what this will mean for the future of the economy and society in Australia and internationally.

This talk is part of the 'Conversations on Big Data' series, sponsored by the UWA Institute of Advanced Studies, the UWA Faculty of Engineering, Computer Sciences and Mathematics and the Mega Data Cluster Network.
