In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, generative AI tools like ChatGPT have captured the spotlight, potentially sidelining other valuable AI innovations.

Through expert insights and real-world examples, we'll explore:   

• Evaluating AI's True Impact: Balancing the excitement around generative AI with the tangible, measurable benefits of traditional AI technologies.
• Ethics and Equity: Tackling bias, diversity and fairness to ensure AI technologies are developed and deployed responsibly.
• Data Challenges and Societal Impacts: Addressing the interplay between societal change and data evolution and whether we can fast-track societal benefits without compromising AI ethics or effectiveness.
• Leadership in the Age of AI: Strategies for tech leaders to prioritize, develop and mature AI practices while maximizing the full potential of AI technologies within their organizations.

Join us as we navigate the complexities of AI investment, and the responsibility business leaders have for ensuring sustainable, ethical and impactful use of technology.
