Agenda
Keynote Sessions
How to Develop the Skills Needed to Realize Generative AI Results
Enterprises that build superior learning capabilities will develop AI and other skills needed to out-compete their competition. Generative AI promises breakthrough benefits but these will not be realized, nor the risks mitigated, without upskilling and reskilling employees.
Join this session to explore:
- Continuous learning capabilities to enhance AI skills for a competitive advantage
- Proven practices to harness the benefits of generative AI in IT and across the enterprise
- New case studies on maximizing generative AI benefits throughout IT and the organization
Law & Order — Cross Examining AI's Legal Boundaries
As AI technologies rapidly evolve, the laws and ethical standards designed to govern them lag behind, creating a mismatch in the pace of innovation and regulation. This misalignment often leads to inadequate alignment with core principles such as trustworthiness, safety, and ethics. For AI leaders, mastering governance strategies that drive alignment with these core principles is key to ensuring the organization’s risk profile is effectively managed.
Join AI, cybersecurity, and IP law expert Eran Kahana as he offers actionable insights on:
- Navigating the ethics of cutting-edge AI
- Deciphering global AI legislation dynamics
- Mastering AI governance for risk mitigation
