Key AI debate at Future of Financial Services 2023
In the current tight economic environment, technology companies have to sharpen their investment focus to avoid distractions, and the question being asked at this year’s FST Media Future of Financial Services Sydney conference is whether Artificial Intelligence will ultimately be a distraction for some.
The conference, to be held on the 10 and 11 August in Sydney, will traverse the level of AI investment in Australia, the companies leading the charge with respect to innovation and those for whom it may ultimately prove to be a distraction.
The broader discussion of investment priorities will take place alongside examining the regulatory framework evolving around the roll-out of AI in Australia and the obligations this will impose on service providers and their clients.
