Date: Tuesday, 23 January 2024

Time: 6:30-8:00pm

Online

With Alkistis Kyriakopoulou, Chief of Staff, DeepSea Technologies

In this talk, we delve into the transformative landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its profound impact on our world. The discussion is framed around three key pillars: understanding AI’s impact, developing essential skills for success in an AI-driven world, and emphasising the critical importance of ethical considerations in AI.

Firstly, using examples, we explore the evolving landscape of AI and its far-reaching implications. From reshaping industries to influencing daily life, understanding the multifaceted impact of AI is crucial. We’ll discuss how AI is not merely a technological advancement but a new reality that demands our attention and adaptation in various aspects of our careers.

Next, we shift focus to the skills required to thrive in an AI-driven world. Beyond technical expertise, the talk emphasises the need for a holistic skillset that includes adaptability, critical thinking, and creativity. The discussion aims to empower the audience with insights into cultivating a skill repertoire that aligns with the demands of a rapidly changing technological landscape.

Finally, the talk underscores the paramount importance of ethical considerations in AI. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into various aspects of society, ethical considerations must guide its development and deployment. We explore the potential pitfalls of AI, such as bias and privacy concerns, and advocate for a responsible and ethical approach to ensure that AI benefits humanity rather than harm.

In conclusion, the talk serves as a roadmap for navigating the AI landscape. By understanding the impact of AI, acquiring essential skills, and prioritising ethical considerations, individuals and organisations can not only adapt to the new reality but also contribute to shaping a positive and inclusive future in the era of Artificial Intelligence.
