Conversations with a Machine - How AI is changing our relationship to business tools

Join Steve Barradell and Guy Boyle, Directors at Institute, for a thought-provoking discussion exploring the fast-evolving world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its real-world implications for business and culture. 
Our goal is to empower local businesses with the knowledge and confidence to tackle emergent technology on their own terms at their own pace.

Some of the topics that they will investigate with you:

Breaking the Spell Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.’ Arthur C Clark

We will look at how we can break down AI technology in simple terms. What is contemporary AI? How does it work? What is it good at and what is it bad at.

The Robots are Coming How concerned should we be about AI?

Our Tools are Talking Back For the first time in history we are negotiating with our tools. How should we talk to them? These conversations are replacing code. What does this mean for business processes? What might the new normal look like?

Bigger is Better? Will future AI systems have to be nuclear powered or can we run our own?

Are we Getting Replaced? Will an AI agent replace our jobs? What makes us relevant? Do we need to act more like machines or embrace our humanity?

Technology Agnostic How should you plan for new software systems? How could we think about business processes now and in the future in the light of rapid technology change?
