AI truly came to life during this week's The AI Summit in London. We’re thrilled to have been part of this important conversation, together with industry leaders and innovators. Here are some key takeaways from our speakers’ sessions Emma Kendrew, Matt Prebble and Fernando Lucini: • People-first solutions: Emphasising technology that benefits everyone is crucial, as #GenerativeAI can either reduce or increase socio-economic disparities. Our societal approach to AI deployment will influence whether we promote social mobility or worsen existing inequalities. • Leadership role: Clarity in decision-making is essential. Companies that identify critical decisions and use technology to enhance decision-making have historically thrived and will continue to do so. #DecisionScience • Data is king: A robust data architecture is the backbone of any AI project. It's not just about data collection but about using it for personalisation, security enhancement, and service differentiation. Optimising these systems is key to success.
