Daniel Hulme: Rethinking AI and how Agents impact Business and Humanity

Abstract:
Working in academia, the public and private sectors, Daniel is a globally recognised expert in Artificial Intelligence as well as its applications and the social, commercial, economic and ethical implications. In a world where many believe access to more and more data will lead to ever better decision-making, he looks at what AI really is, as well as identifying the current and future challenges and opportunities for agentic. Daniel provides a radical new framework for thinking about AI, and discusses how organisations can practically adopt these AI and Agentic technologies and avoid being seduced by the hype. He argues that whilst these technologies are incredible at creating growth and streamlining operations, for companies to stay innovative they need to augment AI and agents to unlock the creative capacity of their workforce. Daniel also covers the macro impact these technologies may have on business and humanity over the coming decades.
