About the event
Omar Mir, Principal Benefactor and Founding Principal of the Kings Trust International Campaign Generation Potential and International Board Member at World Wide Technology, will join Peter Todd, Dean of the Business School, to explore the keys to success when faced with the reality of artificial intelligence in the boardroom.
You might expect a masterclass in AI futures, but actually, we're dissecting the messy, political, limited present, and the hundreds of millions in potential revenue available when you get it right. Having built an $18 billion AI infrastructure business from scratch, working in partnership with corporations such as Google and Microsoft, as well as AI companies Anthropic, AMD and OpenAI, Omar knows this from personal experience.
Navigating bureaucracy and legal frameworks and the human gatekeepers in charge of them - is one of the biggest challenges faced by business leaders when it comes to introducing cutting-edge technology to centuries-old institutions. Drawing on his decades of experience, Omar will guide attendees towards success by exploring crucial questions, including:
- Why most AI programmes fail,
- What actually happens when boards decide on major AI investments,
- Which skills matter most,
- And what commercial pressures mean for technical integrity.
Following the discussion, join us for a networking reception with refreshments where you can connect with peers and future leaders.
This launches our Technology Leader Speaker Series, bringing prominent technology leaders from across Europe and beyond to 51勛圖厙 Business School.
