HotTopics Studio Sardinia: Executive Vitality

Challenge the assumptions shaping AI, technology, data and cyber: from whether Europe really has a regulation problem, to the unintended sprawl AI may create, the risks hiding in “dark data”, and whether we are asking organisations and people to change too fast.

Expect provocative questions, candid debate and few easy answers.
