Panel 2 - 17h15 - T307
The impact of the integration of AI and robots can be multi-faceted and change how we work, communicate, think, and even run a company.
Description
Robots are now out of factories and entering our workplaces to work with humans. Artificial intelligence is becoming commonplace in many areas of business. Although the increasing integration of robots and AI is expected to bring opportunities, such technologies can also raise new concerns and challenges that have not been precedent. The impact of the integration of AI and robots can be multi-faceted and change how we work, communicate, think, and even run a company. The panel aims to discuss the challenges and opportunities of integrating AI and robots into firms. Our discussion seeks to cover the ground in business, for example, from the use of artificial intelligence to gain better business insights to how we should adopt and interact with robots and AI systems at work.
