The extensive use of AI has sparked both fascination and concern, as it raises questions about its creative potential and potential for constructive and destructive consequences across various sectors such as politics, media, healthcare, entertainment, culture, and the economy. The capacity of artificial intelligence in particular raises concerns as it raises the potential to replace or dominate the human race in information dissemination. This could significantly impact the labour market and lead to negative repercussions for employees.
On the other hand, it is clear that AI capabilities are leading to revolutionary innovations, reshaping industries and opening up new opportunities for human progress. Embracing AI-driven technologies holds the promise of improving human lives, optimising decision-making and unlocking untapped knowledge.
The session will address the dual nature of AI, evoking both fascination and concern. Speakers will discuss the possible creative potential of AI in different sectors, the ways it can revolutionise industries and the horizons it can open for human progress.
