This session explores the technological advancements of analytics, data science, machine learning, AI, and quantum computing. Beginning with an overview of the historical development and current state of these technologies. LexisNexis' Flavio Villanustre will explore how analytics has transformed industries; how data science extracts valuable insights, how machine learning has moved from simple rule-based systems to today's deep learning models; and how quantum computing promises to solve previously intractable problems at speeds unattainable by classical computers.

Attendees will learn about the benefits and associated risks of each technology: Increases in efficiency, productivity, and innovation juxtaposed against vulnerabilities in privacy, security, bias, and wider societal concerns such as unemployment. These competing issues underscore the need for responsible, ethical research and deployment of such tools.
