Last week, I had the privilege of delivering a keynote presentation at Monday.com’s Elevate conference in London. The topic, “Leveraging data and artificial intelligence (AI) for organisational transformation,” allowed me to challenge some common misconceptions about AI adoption and share practical insights on harnessing the power of existing data. In this post, I outline the key themes discussed and provide some additional context.

As artificial intelligence (AI) advances into the workplace rapidly, one of the most pressing questions on everyone’s mind is, “If machines can do our jobs faster, more accurately, and at a lower cost, what happens to us?” It’s true that AI is beginning to redefine the very essence of work, raising concerns about the potential displacement of knowledge workers. However, I’d like to propose an alternative perspective—one where those same workers earn the same or more whilst working far fewer hours.

I recently hosted a fireside chat for the AWS Summit EMEA with Intel’s Global Leader for AI Solutions, Monica Livingston. We discussed how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are quickly becoming ubiquitous in business. The conversation prompted me to think about how Boards should be thinking about the use of AI and ML in their businesses, and how they need to ensure they are making the right decisions at the speed of light.
