Golden Ticket

Daniel Shepherd, Regional Head of Strategy and Product MENA, PHD

Whether in the form of chess playing computers or unreliable navigators in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

But 2023 will see a giant leap forward as A.I becomes even more entwined within our daily lives. But what will this mean for us as humans? How can we co-exist happily with lines of code? What impact will we see in our working (and home) lives?

Does this spell the end for humanity and our livelihoods? Or does the prospect of humans working harmoniously alongside A.I represent the Golden Ticket to a better world? In this session, we will explore these questions by understanding the latest scientific advances and the lessons we can learn from pop culture.
