The Great AI Debate:
AI, Opportunity, Threat or Both?
Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we work, learn, create, communicate and run businesses.
-
For some, AI represents one of the greatest opportunities of our generation.
-
For others, it raises serious questions around jobs, creativity, education, ethics, privacy, regulation and the future of society.
The Great AI Debate brings together people with different experiences, industries and perspectives for an open and thought-provoking discussion about where AI is taking us.
