AI summit in Malmö
When
We would like to welcome you to our AI summit in Malmö on the 17th of November!
Date: Thursday, 17th November 2022
Time: 09:00-13:00
Place: AFRY, Hallenborgs gata 4, Malmö
AFRYs view on AI
We will showcase how we at AFRY are able to provide a unique take on AI. By combining AI with humanity we can use AI to solve complex, human problems. AI is best used to enhance our human capabilities, not remove them
We need to view AI as a problem-first technology to use it effectively. With this point of view it will be easier to understand how and why AI needs to be combined with other disciplines to reach its full potential
The event, which will be held in English, will include three keynote speakers that will all discuss the usage of AI in different aspect:
-
Pontus Wärnestål, award-winning Service Designer and Human-Computer Interaction researcher, talking about how to design AI with humans in mind
-
Anna Petersson, Head of Innovation at HighFive and Program Manager for AI.m, talking about how the power of AI can create innovative solutions and how the alignment with business targets creates truly competitive and sustainable advantages
