The event
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how organisations approach problem-solving, decision-making and innovation.
As businesses strive to harness the power of AI to improve productivity, profitability, and outcomes, they must also address its complexities with strategic leadership and confidence.
Hosted by the Liverpool Advanced Methods for Big Data Analytics (LAMBDA) Research Centre, the roundtable brings together AI professionals to explore how leaders can empower their teams to adopt AI responsibly and effectively.
The event will provide a platform for discussing how AI is enabling organisations to tackle business challenges and drive forward real-world solutions.
The roundtable aims to strengthen the connection between academia and industry by encouraging collaborative research and fundraising opportunities.
We invite organisations to consider contributing anonymised datasets that can be used in case studies and research projects by our Master’s and PhD students.
As well as gaining invaluable insights from industry experts, this one-day event provides a unique opportunity for asking questions, networking and nurturing research collaborations.
The event is open to all staff, students and alumni, as well as businesses, policymakers who want to better understand AI's impact on business and leadership and equip you with strategies to meet future challenges with confidence.
