From Turing to Transformers – The Unfolding AI Revolution

  • 11 October 2023

AI is having an impact everywhere. The arrival of new generative AI platforms is deeply disrupting businesses, industries, workers and beyond. Are we as individuals ready and how will we engage with companies on this topic of constant disruption, risk and opportunity?

Clients everywhere are asking more about the impacts of AI, and I was invited by the team at leading engagement and stewardship provider EOS at Federated Hermes, to speak to their key clients and staff.

Alongside my brief AI history lesson, “Turing to Transformers”, I expanded the talk to look at the environmental impact of Generative AI, as well as how we might best detect and mitigate extremely harmful impacts of AI.

Questions and feedback from the delegates at the event suggest that this keynote was both timely and informative, with 92% of attendees scoring on the event app that they felt they knew more about AI than before the talk.

I also had several fascinating discussions with EOS clients about how they are currently using AI in their business, as well as how they plan to use it in the future.
