This talk provides a framework of considerations for integrating ML/AI into organisations. With practice outpacing policy, and industry at the vanguard, this talk offers a tool for both reflection and advancement. Much like the technological advancements of the bow and arrow, Silk Road, vaccines, radio, and smartphones, AI is only the latest in a long line of innovative leaps. As we march head-first into our futures, we see progress across sectors and societies changing at near exponential rates. The wealth of untapped opportunities AI can bring to industries is something we’ve barely begun to understand, with many insisting we’re still simply unable to understand.
