Artificial Intelligence and Health: Promises and Pitfalls

Global Ideas is proud to present an evening of discovery and learning as we explore the potential impacts, both positive and negative, of artificial intelligence on how we approach the health and wellbeing of our communities.

It is almost impossible to scroll through your newsfeed without seeing some article or reference to AI. The promise of AI is huge with applications across industries, from healthcare to business, banking, transport and infrastructure, there is nowhere AI technology cannot be applied.

But how does AI work and are there risks to be aware of?

Together with our speakers Chetan Ganjihal from Deloitte and Catherine Lopes from AGL Energy we will examine, through real case-studies, the unique and troubling ways that AI may disproportionately impact our most marginalised, including women and people of colour. We will also consider the role of lawmakers, regulators and industry in ensuring that AI products are built and used responsibly.

Global Ideas events bring together a multidisciplinary community of thinkers, doers and change-makers. We hope you can join us for this exciting event.

Ticket price includes food and beverages, all vegetarian and vegan options.
