Are we asking the right questions about AI? With Sam Everington and Isabel Parker

Are we asking the right questions about AI? With Sam Everington and Isabel Parker

Author: Deloitte UK April 23, 2024 Duration: 42:10

Friend or threat? Help or hindrance? Possibilities or problems?

The headlines about artificial intelligence often force us to fit the technology into one of two columns. It's going to be good or bad. It's going to be us or the robots.

But as with most things in life, it's not that simple.  

Is it time to change the conversation about AI to one that's less 'either/or' and more open? Open to possibilities. Open to change. Open to discussion.  

It's been suggested that AI could bring about as big a transformation as the industrial revolution. So what does this mean for us? For our families? Our work? And our future? 

And more importantly, are we asking the right questions that can help us prepare for all of this change – both as businesses and individuals? 

That's what we're exploring with Sam Everington from Engine by Starling, and Isabel Parker from Deloitte Legal in this episode of The Green Room.  

Tune in to find out: 

  • How generative AI is already featuring in our day-to-day lives
  • Why our attitude to AI has changed over time 
  • The factors that influence our trust, or lack of trust, in new technology
  • What we can learn from the banking sector about the successful implementation of AI
