Although, with these opportunities come significant challenges, including concerns over user well-being, accessibility, and responsible implementation. Our virtual conference yesterday (28.03.2023) brought together experts and enthusiasts from around the world to discuss how this technology can change the face of business performance.
“Redefining Business Performance with Generative AI – Virtual Conference Wrap-up”
The conference provided a thorough exploration of generative AI’s immense potential, as well as its limitations and concerns surrounding user well-being, accessibility, misinformation prevention, and job loss. From developing responsible AI to exploring captivating real-world applications, attendees discussed ways in which we could shape generative AI for generations to come. Let us now summarize the topics discussed during this engaging event while exploring how businesses are redefining their approach towards implementing new technologies such as generative artificial intelligence (AI).

Another is AI’s current limitations in reasoning and problems with hallucinated data. Both need to be resolved to prevent misinformation and confusion.
“How can we handle this? Unhyping the Generative AI scene in business. ” panel discussion: Jarrod Anderson, ADM, Senior Director, Artificial Intelligence – Digital & Innovation | Reema Diab, Galaxy Organization For Technology, CEO, AI expert, Futurist | Senior Consultant for Tesla, INGO’s, World Bank | Semih Kumluk, Digital Academy Senior Manager, PwC, Head of Digital Business Transformation Programs (Middle East Region) | Patrick Bangert, VP Strategic Business, Samsung SDS | Board Chair, algorithmica technologies | Deedy Das, Glean, Founding Engineer, Search & Intelligence
Another key topic was ensuring that generative AI technology is accessible. It should be available to users with minimal technological expertise, limited internet access, and low-cost devices in order to foster equal opportunities and prevent digital divides.
Developing responsible AI also includes using inclusive datasets, assembling diverse teams, implementing design justice, and moderating AI models.

There is understandable fear of job loss. However, this shift in the job market will not necessarily result in disappearing tasks. Rather, it will change the way we work and create new opportunities for individuals to enhance their abilities. Ultimately, this transformation in the job market can lead to a more fulfilling and satisfying work experience.
