Technology and intelligence gathering through technological domains play a significant role in understanding Geopolitical risk. This panel will explore the role of technological superiority, for example AI and Machine Learning, with connection to risk considerations in the current world. How much intelligence can humans collect versus technology to understand the current risk landscape and its future?

 

Connection to financial and operational competitive advantage will be explored, as well as the role of current risk executives managing technological risks, how they make decisions, and what makes their roles challenging yet rewarding. Visibility to corporate boards and executives will be covered in stemming conversations with the panelists.
