New platforms and applications are entering the workforce — Chatbots have arrived. With the capacity to understand human language\, gestures\, and intentions\, these digital assistants have the potential to disrupt the delivery of the customer experience while collecting enormous amounts of personal data. \nMany companies are creating platforms and apps to capture a share of a market that is expected to exceed $600 billion in revenue by 2020. Both startups and established companies — like IBM\, Facebook\, and Slack — are already dominant players and are developing applications that will change the customer experience in finance\, healthcare\, and travel\, to name a few. \n\nWho will emerge as the dominant players?\nWhat types of jobs will be “outsourced to this new digital workforce?\nWill adequate consumer protections be adopted?\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Moderator\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Mohamed Musbah\, VP of Product\, Maluuba \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Panelists\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Alex Poon\, Founder and COO\, X.ai \nWill Murphy\, Founder and VP of Product\, Talla \nJeremy Goldberg\, Product Designer\, Facebook \nSarah Guo\, Investor\, Greylock Partners \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				View or download flyer for event: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Download the printable PDF. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SRI International Conference Center\n333 Ravenswood Drive\nMenlo Park\, CA 94025
