AI and Robotic Process Automation – Are our jobs safe?
Entrepreneur Elon Musk recently cautioned the dangers of AI when left unregulated. Besides the social consequences of job losses in the millions, he particularly warned readers about ‘the AI living inside the network’ and in form of chatbots and fake news inciting war and upheaval. However, banks across the world have happily adopted AI and chatbots to support their customer service.
- Is it time for a critical reflection of the use of AI? What it means for your organisation and society.
- What is hype and what can really support the bottom line of businesses?
- Best practices from early adopter banks and what they learned
