The challenge of incorporating the powerful transformational technologies of Artificial Intelligence into our organisations is upon us. There is no ignoring the implications of these emerging technologies for every aspect of our lives and businesses are changing rapidly to respond.

The essential role for Illawarra Directors and Executive teams to support safe and appropriate use of these technologies within businesses is of clear and fundamental importance to good governance. Supporting your organisation now to avoid common pitfalls or naïve and un-constructive responses is critical at this stage to secure your organisation’s future success.

Those organisations who fail to rise to the challenge will be rapidly left behind.

Join us at this essential forum bringing together leaders from across the Illawarra to hear from and engage with Emerging Technologies and Innovation Specialist, Jagdeep Singh.

Jagdeep will open our eyes to the questions that must be asked to support good governance, to keep people safe and to dive into the transformative opportunities that AI represents to benefit our region, your organisation and the customers you serve.
