Why attend this workshop?
In a time of rapid technological change, businesses and professionals must rethink the way they work and engage with the world. This session will provide a platform for lively debate and critical thinking about:
What is real? – Understanding the shifting boundaries between technology and human perception.
The future of work – How AI and automation will redefine human roles in organisations.
The challenge of trust – Navigating an era where privacy is elusive and information, disinformation, and misinformation is everywhere.
Human vs machine – How businesses can adapt to a reality where technology is an integral part of decision-making.
This is not a lecture – it’s an interactive discussion where your ideas and perspectives will shape the conversation.
