TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 8:30am – 9:30am –
The integration of AI presents immense opportunities, but also significant strategic and operational challenges. This session tackles AI ethics not as an abstract concept, but as a critical component of sustainable innovation and risk management.
We’ll begin by examining a question with direct implications for workforce strategy and product design: What unique human capabilities – like complex judgment, nuanced creativity, or deep contextual understanding – differentiate us from increasingly sophisticated AI? Understanding this boundary is crucial for determining where AI deployment offers true value versus where human oversight remains essential.
We will then introduce a powerful framework for assessing the long-term viability and societal impact of any AI initiative: the universalization principle. We’ll stress-test common AI applications (e.g., generative AI for content creation, AI in automated decisioning, predictive analytics) by asking, “What are the market, operational, and reputational consequences if this specific use of AI becomes standard practice across our industry or globally?” This helps identify potential systemic risks, competitive shifts, and unforeseen challenges before they arise.
Join this pragmatic discussion to connect foundational ethical considerations with the real-world demands of technology development, deployment, and business strategy. Equip yourself with frameworks to navigate the AI landscape responsibly, mitigate emerging risks, build stakeholder trust, and unlock the true potential of ethical AI adoption.
