Reflecting on the recent "Responsible AI in Global Business" conference, we’d like to recommend Jonathan Weisberg’s excellently-written article featured by Yale Insight that captures the key themes and thought-provoking insights from the conference. The author highlights how speakers delved into different angles dissecting the AI paradox of disruption and responsibility. Some insightful takeaways from the article: "If your focus is growth—and growth is the one thing that has brought improvements to the world…we have to do AI in the right, responsible way while accepting the disruption that it may present." - Rob Thomas, IBM "It can't be AI for AI's sake. The purpose of business ought to be to solve the problems of people and the planet profitably." - Sabastian Niles, Salesforce "We all have data profiles that are being built as we speak. Sitting here, right now, the data is being recalibrated on each one of us. I think that has both a wonderful implication, in terms of personalization journeys, and an alarming implication if everything you do, including microexpressions, gets measured and tracked." - Liz Grennan, McKinsey & Company "AI is, most of the time, making problems we already had worse or solutions we already had better. The difference is in terms of how much more intense the solution or the problem has become." - Luciano Floridi, Digital Ethics Center (DEC), Yale University at Yale Highly recommend reading Weisberg's article to learn more about the conference and the critical role of responsible AI in global business: https://lnkd.in/grSR4Xkw What are your thoughts on the role of AI in business? Let's continue the conversation in the comments.

We’re highly honored to have David Kenny for a fireside chat proceeding our Responsible AI in Global Business Conference Yale University.

His candid reflections cut through the AI hype, offering a grounded perspective on its real impact and potential, helping us look beyond the noise.
