The Transformative Power of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
A conversation with Matthew Putman

Join us on October 28 for a conversation with Matthew Putman, cofounder and CEO of Nanotronics, a science technology company that has redefined factory control through the invention of a platform that combines AI, automation and sophisticated imagining.

Matthew will share where AI and ML stand and what's on the horizon. He will discuss various real-life applications, including many that are outside of what we normally think of. He will also talk about what we all should know when it comes to AI to maximize its benefits and lessen our concerns.

In this webinar, we will cover questions including:

  • What is the difference between AI and ML?
  • How will AI transform businesses, manufacturing, the economy and financial services in the short- and long-term?
  • Will AI/ML replace more jobs than it will create?
  • What are the ethical issues around AI/ML?
  • How is AI regulated in different countries? And what are the implications of different regulations?

Cofounder and CEO, Nanotronics
Chairman of the Board, Nanotronics Health

Dr. Matthew Putman is the cofounder and CEO of Nanotronics, a science technology company that has redefined factory control through the invention of a platform that combines AI, automation and sophisticated imagining to assist human ingenuity in detecting flaws and anomalies in manufacturing, an industry that has been stagnant since the 1950s.

Currently, Matthew is building New York’s first High-Tech Manufacturing Hub in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. This new facility will allow Nanotronics’ artificial intelligence researchers, computer scientists, chemists, and physicists to work directly with skilled machinists on the manufacturing floor to develop innovations that will lead partner industries to a smaller factory footprint, producing less waste while bolstering speed from R&D to production. Nanotronics’ new facility is projected to be completed by Q2/Q3 2020 and aims to serve as the blueprint for modern manufacturing.

Matthew is an Applied Physicist who worked as an adjunct Professor at Columbia University until 2013. He has worked extensively in the areas of Polymer Rheology, nanotechnology, and semiconductors, with a focus on wide-bandgap materials and photonics. Matthew has published over 30 papers and is an inventor on over 50 patent applications filed in the U.S. and other countries for his work on manufacturing, automation, inspection, instrumentation, super resolution, and artificial intelligence. He is an expert in quantum computing and a founding member of The Quantum Industry Coalition, which called upon him to urge Congress to make quantum research a Congressional Priority.

Dr. Putman resides on the board of directors of New York Live Arts and Pioneer Works. He is an accomplished jazz pianist, a published poet, served as Executive Producer on several films and plays and was recently the recipient of the Tribeca Film Festival Gallielo Prize for innovation.
