The promise of artificial intelligence

 

Artificial intelligence represents a considerable opportunity for business and society to drive productivity, innovation and growth. For its promise to be fully realised, society must trust the institutions introducing AI into their lives. But, in turn, there is a responsibility to implement AI in a way that promotes privacy, transparency, accountability and limits biases to ensure the technology has a positive impact on all levels of society.

Featuring Zvika Krieger (World Economic Forum) and Paul Daugherty (Accenture), this keynote will explore the relationship between individuals and institutions, skills in the AI economy and the opportunity to shape AI in a way that promotes equality.

Time: Tuesday 7 November 2017, 3–3:45am EDT (Monday 6 November 2017, 9–9:45am PST).
