AI Ethics and shaping the future of AI in Aotearoa
Description
AI is changing the way we work, make decisions and interact with the world around us. But as adoption accelerates, so does the responsibility to consider its wider impact.
Join Brightly and some true leaders in this field for a thought-provoking conversation exploring the social, cultural, and environmental impacts of AI, the ethical questions organisations should be asking, and the role leaders can play in shaping responsible AI adoption.
We’ll also look at AI through a cyber security lens, considering both the new external threats enabled by AI and the risks that can emerge from its use within organisations.
Rather than focusing only on the risks, this session is about possibility and practical responsibility. Our aim is to leave you better informed, empowered to ask the right questions, and optimistic about how AI can be used in ways that genuinely serve people and planet.
Following the session, join us for a light lunch and drinks, with plenty of opportunity to continue the conversation and connect with others.
