Innovation – how will it impact the UK economy’s future?
Innovation enables businesses to grow and improves UK competitiveness. A UK government report showed that innovation was estimated to have accounted for 51% of labour productivity growth between 2000 and 2008. But how will it shape the future of the UK economy?
Fujitsu’s ‘Nova’ series, inspired by the innovation challenge in the UK, is a thought leadership series shining a light on new, tangible aspects of innovation influencing the current and future direction of the UK economy.
Connecting leaders operating in digital teams, dedicated innovation units and business service lines, the series draws on international best practice to offer expert insight on how organisations can tackle strategic economic challenges, ranging from effectively adopting emerging technologies to stimulating entrepreneurship.
Why do we need to take the threats of AI more seriously?
Dr. Keith Dear, Managing Director of Fujitsu’s Centre for Cognitive and Advanced Technologies, discusses the seriousness of AI.
Why the does UK government's approach to AI regulation rest largely on existing regulators?
Al Brown, Director for Neurosymbolic AI at Fujitsu’s Centre for Cognitive and Advanced Technologies, shares his views on the topic.
Why do we need to consider the environmental impact of artificial intelligence?
Dr. Lydia Kostopoulos - a Strategy & Technology Innovation Advisor, shares her views on the environmental challenges created from artificial intelligence.
How can organisations help protect customers’ privacy and freedom of thought, in an age where choice is both enhanced and threatened by AI?
At the end of the session, the panel fielded questions from the audience.
Entrepreneurship: why the UK needs to think differently about a key driver of innovation
