About this event
You are invited to join the National AI Centre and ACS to bring you an engaging and informative AI week panel discussion event facilitated by Lee Hickin, Executive Director of the National AI Centre.
The panel will discuss a range of real AI industry use cases, with each panel member bringing a different perspective and highlighting things a business leader should consider with each use case.
This year’s AI week theme is AI: Your Next Step in Business. This theme focuses on supporting SMEs to take practical steps toward starting or progressing their AI adoption journey. The week aims to raise awareness, build confidence and support businesses to identify where AI can add value and be applied responsibly.
We want to encourage you to:
- Take your first step: Learn about the opportunities AI can offer to help your business grow and innovate
- Take your next step: Explore how to adopt AI safely by applying good governance practices.
