Navigating the opportunities and trust challenges of AI: A global study
As artificial intelligence shapes the future of societies, industries and businesses, organisational leaders and policymakers are faced with the challenge of integrating and innovating with AI in a responsible and trusted way.
On behalf of Professor Jenny George, Dean of Melbourne Business School, and Paul Kofman, Dean of the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Melbourne, we are delighted to invite you to a panel event examining how we can navigate the challenges of AI adoption in a way that is responsible, trusted and creates mutual value for stakeholders.
Professor Gillespie will share insights from a global study examining public and employee trust, use and attitudes towards AI across 47 countries, conducted in collaboration with KPMG. Our expert panel will then delve into the critical findings and discuss the implications for organisation leaders and policy makers, exploring the evolving regulatory landscape, and the collaborative efforts needed to support trust and strengthen governance.
The event will be held both in-person and online. If attending in person, you're invited to join the speakers for networking drinks and canapes after the panel.
