DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES BOARD & EXECUTIVES
Course Overview
Steam; Electricity; Penicillin; the Printing Press; the Internal Combustion Engine are all major innovations that revolutionised our lives; humanity;
and the world we live in today.
As bankers we have played a significant role in enabling these major Disruptive changes through our financing of ideas. But by far the biggest
and most disruptive revolution of our time is technology. As we look back at some of the most disruptive technologies to have impacted our
lives over the past 50 years, it is widely agreed that we consider the following technologies will be the most Disruptive of many time:
The Internet | Smartphones | Artificial Intelligence (AI) | Blockchain Technology (Foundational technology of the Virtual Assets Revolution)
In this Board engagement, we intend to focus on just the two most important Disruptive technologies of the future, namely AI and Blockchain.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
There is so much that is being said about the current and potential
innovative and disruptive nature of AI. The financial markets have
given their verdict as reflected in the significant increase in value of
AI technology companies from Chipmakers like Nvidia to software
solution providers such as Oracle.
We would like to give our audience a lay person’s introduction to AI.
We would then like to focus on how AI is already having a positive
impact on the way in which banks operate today; by adding greater
value to the customer experience; improving efficiencies and reduc
–
ing cost through smarter ways of working.
But we will also bring balance and challenge to the discussions
because AI technology is also bringing forward some very serious
unintended consequences; For example, the use of AI by cybercrim
–
inals to innovate in their attacks; and avoid detection for longer.
What are the emerging risks from AI.
Furthermore, there are ethical issues associated with AI that our
audience must consider
