Stanford AI Symposium
AI Applications, Risks, and Oversight for Business
About: The question confronting today’s modern business is not whether to use artificial intelligence (AI), but where and how to use it effectively. AI has the capacity to disrupt a broad range of industries, revolutionize business functions, and provide a competitive advantage to early adopters. To remain ahead of the curve, boards and business leaders must understand how AI systems work and how they can be deployed responsibly across different business verticals. They also must understand the myriad risks posed by this new technology, as well as the governance, accountability, and compliance frameworks that best allow them to oversee, monitor, and mitigate those risks.
