Interactive careers workshop sessions 2pm – 3.30pm Session A AI: Phantom or saviour? (What is wrong with modern work, and can AI restore what makes work human?) Oculus Breakout Space Some say AI is the most important innovation since the railroads, while others warn of the existential risks to societies. How should we think about AI in the workplace, and why might it be perfectly timed to help us adapt to the new working world? Used responsibly, AI promises to restore the time and energy we’ve lost to digital debt since digitisation and the transition to hybrid work. It can save us from the productivity slump and engagement abyss, by revolutionising how we team, hire, perform and learn. Join us to explore a radical manifesto for using AI to restore the human centricity of work. This session will be introduced by Dr Michael Mortenson, Associate Professor (Reader).
Session B Challenges and risks with AI adoption, ensuring transparency, interpretability, fairness, and explainability in AI models Oculus Breakout Space A robust data governance approach can set the foundations for AI capabilities, reducing the risks and enabling safe development of AI within an organisation. This workshop will cover how data governance, readiness for change, AI governance, and the process of explainable AI (XAI) can support successful AI adoption.
