AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- SparkCognition, the world's leading industrial artificial intelligence (AI) company, is pleased to announce it will be hosting its second free virtual AI thought-leadership event as part of its Time Machine 2020 AI Sessions series on September 2, 2020 from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm CDT. The second session's theme is "Abundant Economies, Resilient Societies: How AI Delivers Human Benefit."

In the second interactive session, speakers will explore how AI is reinventing the global supply chain.

In addition to the speaking panels, attendees have the ability to ask live questions to speakers and will be able to network through a virtual reality exhibition hall.

"As the COVID-19 crisis continues, it is more crucial than ever that we continue to strive for transportation with the highest level of safety, reliability and efficiency for both goods and people," said Dr. Tom Prevot, Director of Engineering for Airspace Systems at Uber Elevate. "At Uber Elevate, we're exploring new technologies for powering these networks, and I'm looking forward to the discussion during the upcoming AI Session."
