After facing personal trials like a stroke and witnessing the havoc of severe flooding in Valencia, we find ourselves reminded of life's fleeting nature and the growing threat of unpredictable weather patterns. These experiences underscore the urgent need to cherish our connections and confront the realities of climate change. Join our heartfelt discussion as we also unpack the essence of trust in business, inspired by insights from Rachel Roberts. We'll touch on the critical importance of intentional collaboration when integrating groundbreaking technologies like AI and quantum computing, fostering a future that's both innovative and resilient.
Explore the maze of AI adoption, where executive urgency often collides with the fear of missing out. We demystify the common misconceptions fueled by media narratives and dissect the necessity for strategic planning and AI literacy within organizations. Understand the parallels to past technology rollouts that left users bewildered, ensuring this time around, AI's potential doesn't just flicker but shines bright. Our conversation is a beacon for leaders aiming to navigate AI's complex landscape with foresight and efficacy.
Step into a world where voice technology and generative AI are poised to redefine daily interactions. From the intuitive ease of finding products to the seamless experience of voice-driven transactions, we ponder the future of human-computer interaction. Yet, the shift from tactile to voice interfaces isn't without its hurdles, reminiscent of early resistance to then-novel video conferencing. Reflect with us on the blend of excitement and skepticism these advancements bring, and consider how they may shape the way we connect with technology and each other.
This year we're adding a new show to our line up - The AI Advantage. We'll discuss the skills you need to thrive in an AI-enabled world.
