About Event

Nearly every business now uses AI in some form, but measurable returns are far less consistent. Four panellists from industry discuss where AI is showing up in the numbers, what it is changing for the people doing the work, and which decisions should stay with people.

A 45-minute moderated panel followed by around 30 minutes of audience questions. No technical background needed.

Please register with your university email where applicable.
