Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning @ BAS Academy (Zurich)

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at BAS Academy (Zurich)
Yesterday I gave a 2.5-hour interactive talk about Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at BAS Academy in Zurich.

The three main goals of my talk were:

1) Explain the basics of AI and ML by creating an agent that predicts good startups.

2) Discuss applications and use cases for AI and ML.

3) Give the participants a number of questions they can ask startups to better identify good investments in this space.

You will find my slides here at SlideShare.

BAS stands for Business Angels Switzerland, and is an association giving young entrepreneurs the opportunity to present their projects and start-up companies to seasoned investors and successful entrepreneurs to obtain funding and coaching.

The association’s 100 members are split into two sections: the Swiss-German one, based in Zurich, and the Suisse Romande one, based in Lausanne. I am an active angel investor and a member of the selection committee of BAS.

BAS Academy is an initiative to support investors in start-up companies. BAS Academy provides training and networking to help business angels improve their skills. Participation is open to all investors, whether or not they are members of BAS.

When you think such a talk could be of interest to your organization as well, have a look at my speaking page or just contact me.
