From the promotional materials:

KEY2: Opening remarks & Innovation Spotlights (Day 2 / 9:00am – 11:30am)

Amazon keynote led by Jeff Wilke, CEO of Worldwide Consumer. Keynote to include Innovation Spotlight talks by: 1) Tom Soderstrom, IT Chief Technology and Innovation Officer, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, 2) Daphne Koller, CEO and Founder, insitro & Rajeev Motwani Professor in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University, 3) Kate Darling, Researcher, MIT Media Lab, and 4) Colin Angle, Chairman, CEO and Founder, iRobot.

My personal notes:

  • Jeff Wilke, CEO of Worldwide Consumer
  • some have been working on AI for decades, but we're only just beginning
  • Wilke discussed operations and how only one individual named Skip took care of it, and later operations developed algorithms to essentially do an "auto-Skip"
