The impact of GenAI on work and society
Senior Industry Leaders Sharing Their Insights
GenAI has pushed the boundaries of what's possible and is poised to revolutionise business models, the workplace and society. The AI hype has driven inflated valuations, sparked government initiatives for regional AI hubs, and spurred significant investment in startups. While businesses are eagerly exploring GenAI for competitive advantages, its potential to reshape society - employment, education, access to information and other areas - is equally profound. How can the opportunities and risks of AI be addressed while ensuring that its development and deployment are equitable and just? What unexpected consequences has the GenAI wave already unleashed?
The Future of AI Summit’s pre-event webinar convened a global online audience from across the AI ecosystem for a panel discussion on how AI technologies are reshaping interactions within the workplace and daily life. Expertly moderated by the FT’s AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, this panel discussion explored the positive and negative implications of GenAI on people and society. The panel set the stage for the Future of AI Summit, which is returning for its third edition in London from November 6-7.
