I am passionate about digital innovation, customer experience, and cloud, and I am always eager to learn, collaborate, and share best practices with others.

Roundtable tracks
-
Technology adoption often happens ad hoc, in pockets and at different speeds across the business. Maturity and progress is typically dependent on existing infrastructures, cultures and ways of working – not to mention data. But given the speed at which Gen AI is developing, do companies need a more coordinated approach? And what does that foundation need to look like in order for Generative AI adoption to be a success?
Moderator: Greg Egeler, Principal, AI Business Development, Amazon Web Services

The advent of Generative AI undoubtedly opens up new frontiers in innovation and creativity. But if not well managed, it also has the potential to destroy both value and reputations. Privacy, security and ethical dilemmas are all key concerns. So how do we encourage exploration and ingenuity whilst at the same time mitigate against some of the risks? And how do we effectively gauge where that tipping point lies?
Moderator: Apollo Gonzalez, Digital Innovation Executive at AWS

There’s certainly no shortage of experimentation when it comes to Gen AI. But identifying use cases that generate measurable business results is harder to quantify. And given the pace of change, getting stuck in pilot mode isn’t an option. So how do you determine where to focus your efforts when it comes to Gen AI? How do you ensure your technology and business goals are aligned? And how do you scale those key projects up?
