Introductory Seminar Addresses AI-Related Worker Dislocation and Corporate Upheaval
Submitted by Capital Expert Services
Smart automation is rapidly changing the way we do business and having a disruptive socio-economic impact. The most sophisticated forms of automation, artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems (AS, also called robotics), are now able to do what was considered science fiction only a few years ago. These technologies are in use not only in the high-tech, manufacturing and consumer industries, but also in traditionally more conservative industries such as healthcare and financial services.
Businesses naturally focus on the upside of these technologies as they offer potentially large revenue and productivity gains. But they also hold major new reputational and legal risks for the organizations that use them. These technologies are becoming so pervasive that almost all businesses will be using them in some way, even if they don’t realize it.
Without proper governance mechanisms and ethical standards in place, the unbridled use of AI and AS technologies can harm humans and society, and create massive exposures for the corporations that use them. Capital Expert Services invites you to participate in its Executive Video Seminar series on this important topic.

What will executives learn?
Our timely, interactive video seminars will help corporate executives, organizational leaders, lawyers, insurance and risk management professionals understand how this technology will impact their roles, and what preemptive measures they should take to minimize their organization’s or client’s exposure to class-action lawsuits, regulatory action and reputational risks.
We will provide an overview of this fast-moving field, and identify what you need to look out for. You will learn:
- How fast this technology is developing and how it is changing and disrupting industries everywhere
- How these technologies are changing the workplace and impacting employment
- Current AI legislative initiatives around the world
- Ethical standards and guidelines for AI being developed by the technology industry
- New reputational risks and legal liabilities that accompany the use of these technologies
