WORKSHOP 5 - AI Renaissance: Reshaping Cities to Implement

AI Responsibly
Time: 12:10 – 13:10, Wednesday 9th October
Room: Yada Yada Cathedral

Hosted by: City of Pittsburgh

The city of Pittsburgh was once a powerhouse of the Industrial Revolution, pioneering
manufacturing and automation technologies that helped build the world. Following a
period of post-industrial decline in the late 20th Century, the city rebuilt itself around
the innovation prowess of its leading universities, investing in leading edge research
around life sciences, AI, and robotics. Now, as a leading global hub for self-driving
cars, autonomous manufacturing, medical robotics, and smart cities infrastructure,
Pittsburgh is poised to play a significant role in helping to shape Industry 4.0. However,
the city’s cross-sector leadership recognizes the risks of recklessly deploying AI
systems, and has committed to ensuring that AI implementation is as ethical as it is
effective, under the mantra, “If it’s not for all, it’s not for us.” To that end, Pittsburgh is
engaging in a wide range of local, regional, and international partnerships. You are
invited to learn from the city’s lessons, and explore opportunities to work together.

Speakers:

Kees Jacobs, Vice President for Global Consumer Products and Retail, Capgemini

Nick Farrington-Darby, Managing Consultant, Capgemini

The consumer products and retail business landscape is virtually unrecognizable from
that of just one or two decades ago. Companies cannot rely on the tactics that brought
them success in the past. This new environment calls for a radically new approach –
one that is pragmatic yet innovative, rigorous but efficient, swift and sustainable.
Insights-based decisioning, which leverages data, AI and advanced analytics to
improve organizational decision-making, holds great promise for helping businesses
more accurately anticipate market shifts, better understand business dynamics, predict
customer behaviors, and manage risk. In this session we will demonstrate real-life
examples of the added value of AI to truly understand the consumer’ needs and
occasions, to deliver seamless cross-channel experiences, to engage via human-like
dialogues and to drive consumer-driven supply chains.

Machine learning and artificial intelligence are the next big thing in almost any market
sector. Organizations strive to incorporate these techniques as much as possible. Hi there! How can I help?
However, AI and ML models pose new risks, for example to reputation, and
performance is not always as expected. When developing and incorporating AI within
your organization, several model choices have to be made that can directly impact
your reputation and profitability. Within this workshop, we will discuss several aspects
of responsible AI, a platform and toolkit that allows organizations to improve
transparency, explainability, and performance. Participants will experience during this

Are you tired of all talk, but no action with AI? Are you ready to transform your
organisation beyond the buzzwords to _be_ data-driven? This session will help you to
start harnessing the power of AI for your whole organisation.

There is a difference between organisations using AI applications and those that are
actually powered by AI. When AI powers your organisation everything from the
operations, leadership and HR to R&D and sales, will change. AI can help you to better
identify and tap into organisational knowledge, improve your strategy insight and
implementation, support bursting silos and fostering collaboration, help to maximise
idea flows, uncover hidden facts, and speed up organisational change.

To reclaim these hidden powers you need concrete tools that help you start creating
the change. This workshop will share inspirational real-life examples of how AI is
already being used to re-shape organisations, and then invite the participants to start
co-creating their own AI powered organisation with the well-established Lean Service
Creation tool set.

(Lean Service Creation is Futurice’s open-sourced approach and toolkit for co-creating
the future. It consists of ways-of-workings, workshop techniques and canvases that
help crystallize the change. LSC is taught by 11 universities, several books have been
written and countless real-world applications within organisations.)

economic growth, innovation, and societal advancements. What used to be a norm –
filling a classroom with students who would follow a lecture and try to catch in their
notebooks everything the professor would present – is not working anymore. To have
the maximum outcome of the educational efforts, content needs not only to reflect the
modern reality but also be personalized and tailored to the learning capabilities for
students with all abilities.

With the application of Artificial Intelligence, educational institutions now can analyze
the learning patterns among their students – their level of knowledge, the ways they
learn best, and the triggers of disruption in processing content.

Join Women in AI on the 10th of October at World Summit AI for a panel discussion
about innovative practices in the field of Education and how AI is changing the
industry.
