Synopsis
According to the UK Office for AI, businesses that use AI perform 11% better than those that don’t. Therefore, it is no surprise that many business leaders today are considering adopting this potentially “mission critical” technology. But is all AI good for business? In this talk we will discuss this while providing a practical perspective on the use of AI.
We will also tackle some of the burning questions, including:
- How can we tell good AI from bad?
- What happens when biased AI makes decisions that negatively affect people and organisations?
- What questions should we be asking to test if AI will support diversity?
- Who is responsible for ensuring AI is used ethically? Is it the state, the developers, the vendors, the users, or the business leaders who adopt this technology?
