Elin Hauge believes artificial intelligence should be at the forefront of every leader’s mind; because it will fundamentally change the business landscape, significantly impact your life, and play an essential role in the sustainable future of our societies.

 

Artificial intelligence (AI) is probably the most disruptive technological development in human history, and it is ubiquitous; from the face recognition on your smartphone to advanced public surveillance, from food production to medical research, from online shopping to human-like text and image creators. According to Elin Hauge, understanding the basics of artificial intelligence should be as compulsory for any leader in 2023 as having a computer.

​

Elin Hauge has built bridges between business and data-driven technologies for more than 20 years. Through her work with business leaders and technology entrepreneurs, she has developed an exceptional ability to connect the dots between business strategy and the application of AI. She brings new perspectives to known challenges, relentlessly demystifying jargon and buzz words. She has a humoristic, down-to-earth, and pragmatic approach to what is actually possible with AI here and now, what is responsible to do in the context of both your company and the society, and what you as decision-maker need to understand to make the right decisions. She then takes the futurist perspective, looking five steps ahead at the potential scenarios and future outcomes, challenging our beliefs and points-of view. She systematically brings in the human perspective; “the future of artificial intelligence is not human less, it’s human more.”

 

In her talks, she provides tangible and well-grounded recommendations for how to reap real benefits with AI, how to comply with regulations, and how to embrace AI as an integral part of your business or organization.

Busting the myths about AI, and building the bridge to real value for business and society

Are you tired of hearing about a distant future where robots rule the world, humans are mere servants, and we are all subject to the whims of a ubiquitous artificial intelligence?

 

Let’s put those nasty fairy tales aside for now and discuss what is possible here and now. Let’s talk about how mathematics applied to large amounts of data can automate processes, completely change how you do business, and fuel innovation of new products and services. As a business leader and decision-maker, having a basic understanding of artificial intelligence should be as compulsory as having access to a computer.

​

Audience takeaways:

​

• Concrete understanding of what artificial intelligence actually entails, including references to and explanations of recent developments.

• Real-life examples that are relevant for your industry.

• Recommendations for what you as a leader and decision-maker should focus on to realize value from AI applications, ensure responsible application, and make AI an integral part of your business

 

Trustworthy AI - an oxymoron?

 

Artificial intelligence is probably the most disruptive technological development in human history, and it is ubiquitous; from the face recognition on your smartphone to advanced public surveillance, from food production to medical research, from online shopping to human-like image and text generators. In addition, other emerging technologies such as the internet of things, blockchain, and virtual reality complement and interact with artificial intelligence to create even more immersive, complex, and disruptive products and services.

 

Most business professionals think that AI is really exciting and cool. However, when confronted with our willingness to trust algorithms to make decisions about ourselves and on our behalf, we become much more reluctant and sceptical. How can companies approach the collection and algorithmic use of data in a way that builds and maintains trust? How can compliance with new AI regulations be ensured? And how can we navigate in a digital world where the borders between real and fake are continuously challenged?

 

Audience takeaways:

​

• Concrete understanding of what artificial intelligence and other new technologies actually entail, including references to and explanations of recent developments.

​

• Pragmatic overview of the new AI Act from the EU Commission (still on proposal stage per Jan’23

​

• Recommendations for how to close the trust gap between humans and algorithms
