Harnessing AI, positively, with Urs Hölzle

Overview

We’re living through a major technological shift as AI continues to improve rapidly. The transformational power of AI and the helpful new ways it can be applied has the potential to transform every aspect of society, business and government. Its effects are already being felt from research that increases understanding of what's possible, to product integrations designed to make everyday things easier by boosting creativity and productivity, and applying AI to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most. 

Speaking to the need for companies to be bold and responsible in their approach, Urs will share how AI can have a positive impact on businesses, and insight into the sorts of questions that should be considered as a Director.
