"AI: Is Artificial Intelligence an Opportunity or Risk?"

We invite you to step into the future of business at our upcoming BGSOBA Business Breakfast.

"AI: Is Artificial Intelligence an Opportunity or Risk?"

Artificial intelligence applications are set to become a material disruptor to the way we do business. Some will see the opportunity to enter emerging markets with AI powered goods and services with a view to establishing a first mover advantage. Some will experience a diminishing need for their goods and services and if they don’t adapt, they will die. Hear from those at the forefront of the AI revolution and how it will affect your business in the coming years.

Key discussion points:

• Unlocking AI's Potential: Our expert panel will explore the possibilities that AI brings to the table, including improved efficiency, data-driven insights, and enhanced decision-making.
• Ethical Considerations: Delve into the ethical implications of AI adoption and its responsible integration within business strategies.
• Navigating Uncertainty: Explore the challenges and uncertainties that come with AI implementation, and gain insights into how businesses can navigate this evolving landscape.
