Technology today is more ubiquitous, more pervasive than ever before – and increasingly indistinguishable from the underlying core business processes it supports. Now, we are at the tipping point of the 4th Industrial Revolution, one that is characterized by the fusion of the physical, digital and biological worlds; one that is already dramatically disrupting traditional industries, business models, systems and governance. At the heart of this change is Artificial Intelligence, where software algorithms are capable of performing tasks that would normally require human intelligence. In this session, Ralph Haupter, President of Microsoft Asia, will share new customer research into the current pace of Digital Transformation amongst Asian businesses, offer examples of organisations across the globe that are already benefiting from this trend and discuss how Artificial Intelligence will change business, government and society.About the Speaker: Ralph leads Microsoft’s business in a dynamic region that includes 17 subsidiaries, over 17,000 employees, and over 100,000 Microsoft partners.He joined the Asia region and moved to Singapore in July 2016, after four successful years as corporate vice-president, chairman, and chief executive officer of Microsoft Greater China Region, based in Beijing. A Microsoft veteran of 12 years, before his role in China, Haupter served as vice-president of Microsoft Germany.
