AI for Business Leaders
Helping businesses navigate the complexities of AI
As AI technology rapidly reshaped industries, business leaders are asking: How can we harness its potential to drive efficiency, reduce costs, and fuel growth?
At AI Tech UK's event at Digital Gurus HQ in Manchester, we explored just that - providing actionable insights and strategies for businesses to successfully adopt AI and revolutionise their operations.
The session began with a deep dive into AI - what it is, how it works in a business context, and real-world use cases that can help businesses leverage AI to achieve their objectives. Next, the importance of a solid AI strategy was emphasised. Without a robust framework for adoption, many businesses
struggle, wasting time and resources, and even hindering growth. Studies from top consultants highlighted the need for businesses to develop a comprehensive, responsible approach to AI implementation.
The discussion then shifted to AI governance, underscoring the necessity of compliance with regulations like the EU AI Act and ISO 42001. Knowledge and strategy are key, but without compliant governance, businesses risk legal and operational challenges. To highlight these risks, attendees took part in an interactive posture assessment based on AI governance platforms, revealing vulnerabilities in AI adoption.
