SPEAKER
MATT KUPERHOLZ
Professor M@ Kuperholz is the PwC Australian firms Chief Data Scientist, is currently Australia’s top analytics leader as awarded by the premier industry body, and a serious computer geek who has been applying A.I. in anger to real world client problems most days this millenium. M@ is joining us today to talk about how the rapidly changing exponential times we are living in provide opportunities, and new risks, for the water sector, illustrated with plenty of war stories. M@ will focus on AI including a new PwC global offering he has been leading the development of Responsible AI.
PwC’s Responsible AIConcerns have grown over how artificial intelligence (AI) could impact privacy, cybersecurity, employment, inequality and the environment. Customers, employees, boards, regulators and businesses are all asking the same question: can we trust AI? Stakeholders want to know that organisations are using AI responsibly, so that it strengthens the business and society as a whole. PwC’s recently released Responsible AI Framework and Toolkit helps companies focus on and address the challenges and risks around AI when designing and deploying AI applications.
