From FT Alphaville:
What is Camp Alphaville?
Ideas, like jokes, are found at the edge of things. They come with perspective, a moment to relax, or rubbing up against something new....MORE
With Camp Alphaville the inspiration was the classic British music festival with an array of stages, activity and distractions. We want to give you hard choices, between listening to the rock stars on the main platform and the chance to talk to the heavy hitters in a side tent. You should be able to stumble on conversations about how restaurant economics really work or what happens to finance as the machines get smarter, and sample some of the latest technology first hand.
We also want it to be democratic, with strategists, academics, punters, robots and more rubbing shoulders. July 1 at the Royal Artillery Company grounds in London. Sign up here to soak it all in, there’s a sample of what we’ll be discussing below the fold.
- When markets become self-aware: Artificial intelligence in markets...
Errrmmm, yes, sometimes artificial is the only intelligence one can find in markets.
And self-aware? Does this kurtosis make my butt look fat?
