TRACK 1
Who Should Be Leading AI Strategy in the Enterprise?
Most of the demand for AI innovation is coming from the business, but most of the knowledge about AI typically sits in IT including the know-how on quantum computing and NLP. What are the implications for AI strategy driven by either business or IT and how can companies avoid the inevitable blind spots that will arise as a result?
TRACK 2
Fighting Hallucinations: Different Approaches to Trustworthy Output
LLM hallucinations have been an unpleasant reality of all LLMs and so far none of the big players in the space have managed to eliminate them. Enterprises are pushing ahead regardless and mitigating risk with a variety of solutions to the issue. We’ll discuss some of these and how effective they are.
12:20 – 12:50
Panel Discussion
TRACK 1
Beyond a Governance Framework: Regulating Transparent and Responsible AI
While governance frameworks are a crucial step towards ensuring the ethical and responsible use of AI, they often lack the teeth to enforce compliance and address emerging challenges. To truly regulate transparent and responsible AI, we need a multi-faceted approach that combines technical, legal, and societal measures.
TRACK 2
The Bottom Line: Measuring the ROI of AI and its Expanding Frontiers
AI’s transformative potential is undeniable. However, to justify significant investments and get buy-in, it’s imperative to measure the ROI of AI initiatives, along with emerging landscapes of Gen AI and quantum AI. We discuss practical methods being experimented by organisations and what works best.
