The battleground of artificial intelligence (AI) is in conversational platforms and the most visible result is the exponential growth in chatbots.

In two years, the emergence of bots talking to each other using natural language have gone from a Maverick idea to emergent reality today.

This reality raises the following questions:

1. What happens when machines start talking to each other?
2. How and where will machines do the talking, meet each other and hook up for lasting, mutually productive relationships?

As the number of conversational entities grow, from chatbots to virtual assistants, the principles of emergent behavior will arise.

Simple entities like chatbots and mature virtual assistants will form more complex behaviors as a collective.

This will produce radical novelty not foreseen by their developers. At the macro level, we propose that machines will form societies.

Discussion Topics:

• The conventional building blocks of making the emergent machine society
• The transition to an emergent machine society based on these building blocks
• Impact of the emergent machine society and how we need to deal with it

The first ever international standard on knowledge management has been released as a draft. What does it mean for PPM professionals?

Knowledge management (KM) is a discipline concerned with how organisations create and use knowledge.

In practice it is often poorly understood and confused with information management – a missed opportunity!

In recognition of this, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has appointed a working group of leading international KM experts and is developing the first ever international standard on KM.

The purpose of the standard, which has been published as a draft for comments, is to help organisations understand what KM is and how to approach it. The standard represents current good practice in KM.

Join this webinar to find out what the international KM experts have to say about KM and how to do it.

Judy Payne, Knowledge SIG Co-chair and member of the ISO working group that has drafted the standard, will introduce and cover the following points:

• What is the status of the standard?
• Why is the standard needed?
• What are the key messages in the standard?
• Why are the messages in the standard different from the KM entry in the APM BoK?
• What does the standard mean for PPM professionals?

The standard is protected by copyright, so we can’t share its detailed content with you in the webinar. To get the most out of the webinar, please take a look at the standard beforehand:

1. Go to the BSI Standards Development website
2. Register
3. Search for ISO 30401
4. Click on the red reference link (ISO 30401)
5. Click on Read draft and comment

There is no charge for registering on the website or for reading the draft standard.
