• CONFERENCE

• AI: its impact on business, and ethical reflections on its use.

• Exponential transformation involves rethinking the business model, organizational structure, culture and processes. It is about seeking and exploring new technologies, being one step ahead of the technological vanguards. AI is already changing reality, therefore the discussion is not about technology, but about values and ethics. We should articulate spaces for thinking and working together towards an ethical map on how to use it, to what extent and for what purposes.
