Below are some of our highlights from June’s event:
Kate Maxwell, CTO for Worldwide Defense & Intelligence at Microsoft, on demystifying generative AI
In this keynote talk at Tech LIVE Virtual 2023, Kate Maxwell, Chief Technology Officer for Worldwide Defense & Intelligence at Microsoft, takes attendees on a whirlwind tour through the AI landscape, discusses the impact of generative AI across all industries and busts some of the technology's myths.
“At Microsoft, we believe that the world is on the cusp of a technology driven inflection point,” Maxwell comments. “This change is not just coming. It is here and it is happening right now.
“I think as a society, we frequently fall victim to hype cycles, especially in technology. But when we are talking about generative AI, this is real. And I believe this hype really is warranted.”
The Digitalisation & Decarbonisation Forum
In this exclusive conversation, our panelists, Paul Wrighton, Director of Sustainable Infrastructure at Johnson Controls, Simon Tucker, Global Head of Energy, Utilities & Resources at Infosys Consulting, and David Pownall, VP of Services & Safety UK at Schneider Electric, explore the impact of digital technologies such as cloud computing, AI, and blockchain on sustainability, and share insights on how businesses can leverage these technologies to reduce their carbon footprint.
