INSEAD forum on the rise and impact of AI & Machine Learning in Business and Society

AI is rapidly emerging as the most important and transformative technology of our time. Recent advances in machine learning have led to multiple new applications that are reshaping business, management and society. Today, AI can perform many human activities with greater accuracy and at a fraction of the time.

AI can also offer a substitute for human judgement as it forecast based on data patterns undetectable by humans. These features are not only creating new business opportunities for small and big businesses but also changing the way leadership and employees deliver value to their company.

Demystifying AI

AI is rapidly emerging as the most important transformative technology of our time. Recent advances, particularly in machine learning have led to a swift proliferation of new applications that are transforming economies, companies as well as the way we work, live and play. Get an introduction from Professor Parker about Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Machine Vision, Natural Language Processing and gain a better understanding on the emergence of these technologies, how they work, what types of problems they can or cannot solve yet, why Machine Learning is such a big deal and what the next AI is all about.

10:00-10:30

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.
Phanish Puranam, INSEAD

11:45-12:15

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

12:15-12:45

Responsible AI
(Auditorium)
AI has hit the headlines, and given the increasing power of AI-based technologies and the social implications thereof due to ethical concerns and information bias, AI needs to play a responsible role. 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?
Sunita Kannan, Accenture

12:45-13:15

Live With AI
(Auditorium)
AI is transforming the way we live, work and play. It’s now time to consider how humans may adapt to better leverage the technology and co live with smart machines. Deep dive with Pierre Robinet, founder of the Singapore-based LIVE WITH AI foundation on: the importance of a transparent interaction between humans and machines; the urgency to research how AI new solutions that could reduce some of our human cognitive capacities could be redesigned and enhance us instead; the need to implement AI-driven banking services accessible to all; and more broadly on the key challenges we are facing today to better work, live and heal ourselves with AI.

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.
Phil Parker, INSEAD

The Future of Work

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.
