[WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING THIS EVENT TO AN ONLINE PLATFORM,
MORE NEWS SOON]EXPERIENCE AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO
UNDERSTANDING INTELLIGENT AGENTS, AND LEARN TO TAKE STRATEGIC
ADVANTAGE OF THIS CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY.
FEATURING SPEAKERS FROM IBM RESEARCH, SRI INTERNATIONAL, BRANDFLIGHT,
AND THE POST-LEAN INSTITUTE.
Humans are starting to have conversations with products and services.
With Amazon’s Alexa we see how Intelligent Agents (a.k.a. “Digital
Assistants”) will also be used to curate offerings from
marketplaces. We will examine Agents in detail, from multiple
perspectives, and build a shared understanding of threats and
opportunities for investors, corporates, and policymakers.
We will capture what we have learned in an e-book made available to
participants and members of the Post-Industrial Forum.
WE WILL CAPTURE WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED IN AN E-BOOK MADE AVAILABLE TO
PARTICIPANTS, FEATURING THEIR OWN THOUGHTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS. THE
E-BOOK WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS OF THE POST-INDUSTRIAL FORUM.
ABOUT THE POST-INDUSTRIAL FORUM
For the first time in the history of the human species, we have
exponential technology development coupled with massive
decentralization. This goes beyond “digital,"it is change on an
_anthropological_ level. We are transitioning to a post-industrial
civilization. (For more background, see this white paper
[http://postlean.com/dl/Digital-Myopia-and-the-Coming-of-Post-Industrial-Civlization-v7-25-Feb-2019.pdf] and
videos [https://www.eventbrite.com/edit?eid=97860426169] from our
launch).
Brought to you by the Post-Lean Institute [http://www.postlean.com] in
collaboration with industry partners, including SRI INTERNATIONAL, the
POST-INDUSTRIAL FORUM brings together executives, investors,
policymakers. Our aim is to connect the dots and find smarter ways to
navigate the changes now taking place.

Dr. Myers’ research focuses on intelligent systems that facilitate
man-machine collaboration. Her expertise includes autonomy,
multi-agent systems, automated planning and scheduling, and
intelligent assistants. She has led the development of several AI
technologies that have been successfully transitioned into operational
use in areas that span collaboration tools, task management, and
end-user automation. Myers has a Ph.D. in computer science from
Stanford University, a B.Sc. in mathematics and computer science from
the University of Toronto, and a degree in piano performance from the

DR. ROBERT J. MOORE
RESEARCH STAFF MEMBER, IBM RESEARCH ALMADEN
Bob examines the intersection of human conversation and technology.
Currently, he is developing a methodology for Conversational UX Design
that applies the formal, qualitative models of natural human
conversation, from the field of Conversation Analysis, to the design
of conversational interfaces. He has developed a general Natural
Conversation Framework, also implemented on the IBM Watson
Conversation service, which defines a set of conversational UX
patterns. In addition to conversational systems, Bob explores the use
of automated transcription technologies in the practice of
Conversation Analysis research. In the past Bob has worked as a
research scientist at Yahoo! Labs and at the Xerox Palo Alto Research
Center (PARC) and as a game designer at The Multiverse Network. Bob
holds Ph.D., M.S. and B.A. degrees in sociology with concentrations in
ethnomethodology, Conversation Analysis and ethnography.
