Section 2 - Real-World AI: Developments in Healthcare, Finance, and Cybersecurity
To examine the transformative impact of AI across pivotal industries, we ought to focus where AI it’s driving real, measurable innovation and where its promise remains unfulfilled. In healthcare, AI is revolutionising diagnostics and personalised treatment but grapples with challenges in data privacy and equity. In cybersecurity, it fortifies defences against evolving threats while raising serious concerns of techniques being weaponised in misinformation, defamation and privacy breaches. In finance, it powers predictive analytics and fraud detection yet struggles with transparency in decision-making. These sessions will critically examine the successes, limitations, and untapped potential of AI, offering insights from industry leaders on navigating this complex landscape.
