We live in fascinating times
Artificial intelligence (AI) holds immense potential for disruptive innovation, promising improved accessibility, lower costs, and improved outcomes in critical areas of societal need. However, the rapid emergence of a "techlash" poses challenges for AI-driven businesses, as concerns escalate regarding data privacy, a growing digital and income divide, the future of work and anticompetitive behaviors. Central to this discourse is the crucial role of effective leadership in ensuring effective product, design, outreach, "guardrails and transparency".
Join us at this year's Tech + Society Conference, where our expert speakers will delve into the most pressing issues, offering insights and strategies to:
-
Harness AI to enhance accessibility and affordability in healthcare
-
Identify and proactively minimize any unintended consequences that may arise from AI’s increasing integration into society
-
Define the pathway to success for leaders who are at the forefront of managing AI-driven innovation in our ever-evolving societal landscape
Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to be part of a vibrant community of innovators, changemakers, and visionaries.
