#H2OWorld  was an incredible experience. Thank you to everyone who joined us!
There were so many fascinating conversations and interesting presentations. I’d love to invite you to enjoy the presentations by visiting our YouTube channel .
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be highlighting many of the talks. Today I’m excited to share two presentations focused on Driverless AI – “Introduction and a Look Under the Hood + Hands-On Lab” and “Hands-On Focused on Machine Learning Interpretability”.

H2O.ai Team

At H2O.ai, democratizing AI isn’t just an idea. It’s a movement. And that means that it requires action. We started out as a group of like minded individuals in the open source community, collectively driven by the idea that there should be freedom around the creation and use of AI.

Today we have evolved into a global company built by people from a variety of different backgrounds and skill sets, all driven to be part of something greater than ourselves. Our partnerships now extend beyond the open-source community to include business customers, academia, and non-profit organizations.
