Discover insights into the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its impact on businesses and society.
Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) must remain at the forefront of technological trends and play an active role in discussions about how to leverage technology effectively while managing associated risks. To gain a comprehensive understanding of how AI is driving change across various sectors, this module course will explore the opportunities AI presents and assist NEDs in developing innovative ideas for harnessing its potential within organisations.
