The Future of Business with Ethical AI (BSA x RMIT CoBL)

The Future of Business with Ethical AI

An evening of all things AI, presented by RMIT's Business Student Association (BSA), supported by RMIT College of Business and Law

Artificial Intelligence is advancing at an exciting and sometimes surprising pace. How can students or professionals stay ahead of workforce trends? Are Australian businesses adapting quickly enough? What is happening on the global stage of AI, and what are the implications of AI developments on the everyday person?

RMIT’s Business Student Association (BSA) is proud to deliver a one-of-a-kind event that will answer these questions and more with the help of AI leaders from both the Australian and global industry stage. 

The event will feature a keynote address from our very special guest Dee Templeton, Microsoft Vice President, Technology & Research Partnerships and Operations. Dee and her team lead Microsoft's unprecedented partnership with OpenAI, and she is a crucial part of ground-breaking AI developments across the globe - the significance of her presence cannot be overstated. The event will also feature insights from RMIT industry experts from D3 and CIAIRI, as well as panel discussions with AI leaders from across Australia and New Zealand, including: 

• Finbar O’Hanlon, CEO of Melbourne-based AI company Cognr, Board Member for the Global Innovation Institute, and musician who has worked with the likes of Limp Bizkit and The Cure
