Who could have been a better speaker than
Ray Kurzweil to speak on innovation? Not only is Kurzweil an entrepreneur (he has successfully founded and developed as many as nine businesses in such diverse areas of technology as OCR, music synthesis, speech recognition, reading technology, virtual reality, financial investment, and cybernetic art - in almost all cases leveraging artificial intelligence), he is also a visionary and futurist. And for a lot of people like me, he inspires us as a prolific writer and blogger.
Kurzweil joins what is emerging out to be an excellent slate of keynote speakers that includes Kofi Annan (
UN Secretary General), Clayton M. Christensen and Howard H. Stevenson (both professors at
Harvard Business School), and Rajat Gupta (senior partner at
McKinsey).
