Join us for a thought-provoking session exploring two critical dimensions of trustworthy AI: building the right governance foundations for enterprise confidence, and designing AI around the strengths, needs and impact of people.

Hear perspectives from industry and academia on what it takes to move beyond AI hype and create AI systems that are trusted, responsible and designed for meaningful human impact.

AI Trust: From AI Hype to Enterprise Confidence

As organisations move from AI experimentation to enterprise deployment, trust becomes the defining challenge. TJ will examine trustworthy AI through accuracy, security, transparency and accountability, and discuss practical risks such as hallucinations, data / IP leakage, and potential damages and costs of shadow AI. He will highlight governance, access controls, audit trails, responsible AI policies and human oversight as foundations for scaling AI safely and responsibly.

Design AI: Putting Humans at the Centre of Intelligence

King Wang will explore how understanding the complementary strengths of humans and AI can lead to novel allocations of work between them for superior performance. He will share his teams’ practical designs of Human-AI innovation across different industries and work scenarios. King Wang will also share examples of how organisations of all sizes across the public, private, and people sectors have been empowered.
