How AI impacts organisations?
(Auditorium)
There are two ways AI impacts organisations. First, embedding AI as a part of the value chain into the activity systems of an organization raises the tension of automation vs. augmentation. Second, AI as a tool for organisation design implies significant disruption to how the organizational development and HR profession currently works.
Deep dive into the current research and thinking in that space and learn how INSEAD teaches about these issues in our MBA and executive classrooms.

Marketing Dystopia?
(Auditorium)
Machine learning and AI are revolutionizing marketing: Need-based segmentation, the bedrock of marketing strategy, gives way to microtargeting and that lofty ideal in economic theory, perfect price discrimination: Massive amounts of data from disparate sources help firms tailor offers to individual customers and maximize profits by charging each customer up to his or her willingness to pay. In this dystopian brave new world of marketing, consumers forgo not only their surplus, the lack of privacy also undermines their autonomy and equality of opportunity. Current research casts the beginning backlash against technology firms in light of these risks and suggests how marketers might weather the coming storm.
Klaus Wertenbroch, INSEAD

But what is Responsible AI? How do you define it? And most importantly, how do you apply the principles of ethics to AI moving forward?

15:00-16:00: AI for Good
(Amphi 103)

In this session, Professor Parker will describe his journey in applying AI to solving large scale economic and social problems. The session will cover work sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, as well as work in the field by Rotary International, and various mobile telephone players. The core concept revolves around how AI can be leveraged to not replace labour, but to augment productivity when there is a chronic shortage of labour (e.g. specialists, experts, and consultants). His work in this area has been presented at Davos, the G8 and the White House, among other forums.

Learning Machine Learning = FAST! (the INSEAD way)
(Auditorium)
Imagine the board of directors have decided the firm needs to radically accelerate its presence in the AI space. You’ve been told that your team has two weeks to start implementing AI or machine learning algorithms. What can you do? INSEAD was challenged by a client to solve this problem. This session will describe how this was achieved, including demos of various learning tools. People who are only familiar with Microsoft Excel, can now jump into the world of Python, R, neural nets, multinomial logit models, and more.
