Breaking barriers, shaping tomorrow: Unravelling the transformative power of AI for sustainable business innovation Oculus Lecture Room, OC1.05 The world as we know it has changed forever. The emergence of ML and AI and subsequent evolution of the same to generative AI and LLMs means some of the hardest challenges we face in the world can now be solved quickly and more intelligently. Crucially, some of the things we care about most such as business growth, efficiency, cost reduction, sustainability, and ethics, which often seem like conflicting themes, can be woven into the very fabric of business as mutually symbiotic strands of a whole. This talk will delve into how some of the best businesses are using AI to transform how they approach these challenges, and in doing so are shaping more sustainable business models for the future which break down historic, previously immovable barriers.
This session will be introduced by Dr Giovanni Radaelli, Associate Professor and MBA Capstone Director.
