About this event

Artificial intelligence has rapidly moved from experimentation to execution and increasingly to scale.

Across markets, AI is now generating insights, drafting strategies, assessing risk, and automating decisions at a scale that was previously unimaginable. The constraint is no longer access to information or the ability to analyse it.

For the first time, thinking is becoming abundant and that shift is exposing a new reality for all enterprise leaders:

Judgment, not intelligence is emerging as the most scarce and valuable resource inside the enterprise.

As organisations deploy AI across customer experience, operations, and decision-making, leaders are being forced to rethink not just what gets automated, but how decisions are made, trusted, and governed.

This raises a new set of questions for senior leaders:

  • If AI can generate answers, what is the role of human expertise?
  • Where should judgment sit, with the machine, the human, or somewhere in between?
  • How do we avoid false confidence in AI-driven decisions at scale? And how do we provide confidence to leaders in those being made by AI.
  • And what does leadership look like in a world where thinking is no longer the differentiator?

In partnership with Kore.ai, this private dinner will bring together a select group of AI, technology, and transformation leaders from banking and finance to explore how organisations are moving beyond deployment and begin to redesign decision-making
itself. Through a short, focused panel discussion followed by curated dinner conversations, we will explore how other leading enterprises are navigating the shift from automation to orchestration, and from information advantage to judgment advantage.

This is your opportunity to benchmark your progress, while sharing and learning together with peers leading transformation.

Trust, Risk, and Governance at Scale
How do organisations avoid false confidence in AI outputs and build systems that leaders can trust across critical, high-stakes decisions?

From Automation to Orchestration
