• Make AI your business’ superpower — No cape required

  This program is perfect for:

  • Leaders.

  • Digital Transformation initiatives.

  Artificial Intelligence is the revolutionary technology of our time. But, there’s more to it than just technology itself. Understanding where and how to use it is just as important. Unless you’re close to the topic of AI already, perception is heavily influenced by AI’s portrayal in pop culture and movies, and by the latest headlines. Neither one is particularly accurate or helpful in business.

  While business leaders don’t have to be deep technical experts to apply AI, they need a foundational understanding of the potential that this technology holds for their team, department, division, and company. A strong focus on domain skills + AI prepares them to become the superhero of their AI story.

  As organizations are automating more and more decision making in their business, leaders are faced with a key question: How can we ensure end-users accept AI-supported decision making and automation ? The answer to it is not trivial by any means. But research on trust in automation over the last 25+ years provides insights that can be turned into the guardrails of a successful AI program in business.

  It all starts with understanding the levels of automation and extends to trust, adequate use of automation, and reliance on AI. In front of this backdrop of key findings, the pillars of successful AI projects and programs provide an actionable framework for increasing end-users‘ in AI and automation.

  Users’ trust in AI is critical for the successful adoption and correct use of the technology. It is different from trustworthy AI and AI ethics, which focus on the ethical considerations when building an AI-powered system.

This keynote helps Technology leaders & teams successfully shape their business peers understanding of AI (aka AI literacy). AI literacy among business leaders helps to tell fact from fiction, have more realistic expectations, and prioritize projects and investments based upon objective criteria.

AI is becoming more accessible and more pervasive. But there’s a gap! The conversation around AI is still mainly a technical one • between technical experts and enthusiasts. And even after 6, 7 years of AI becoming more mature, we’re still seeing a gap in connecting this technology with business objectives. This gap largely exists because technologists tend to focus so much on technology rather than where and how it can be applied to deliver business value. The business community, however, experiences AI through Hollywood with either its futuristic or dystopian stories. Or they perceive it as the hype that they read about in the press or that they hear about from their peers. However, successful innovation and transformation go beyond pure technology aspects. And technology leaders and their teams ed to enable their business peers to understand the potential of artificial intelligence and automation in order to successfully harness the technology's benefits.
