As an established leader in AI, Peter Voss is passionate about answering the question of making AI more and more human. What is (and isn't) AI? How much further does AI need to go to reach that "human" threshold? Should we be concerned about this closing of the gap, or is there a bigger problem to keep in mind? We discuss all this and more in Educative Sessions.

Peter Voss started out in electronics engineering, but quickly moved into software. After developing a comprehensive ERP software package, Peter took his first software company from a zero to 400-person IPO in seven years. Peter founded SmartAction.ai in 2009, which developed the first AGI-based call center automation technology. Now, in his latest venture, Aigo.ai, he has created a ‘Conversational AI’ technology with a mission of providing hyper-intelligent hyper-personal assistants for everyone.
