Artificial intelligence is transforming the way organisations work, but its success depends on trusted, well-managed information.
Information management practitioners have never been more important, ensuring that the information used by AI is accurate, reliable, secure, compliant and governed throughout its lifecycle.
This panel will explore what AI means for the profession today and why information management practitioners are essential to the responsible and effective use of AI. Hear from industry leaders as they discuss the skills, knowledge and capabilities needed now and discover how information practitioners can move beyond supporting AI initiatives to becoming strategic leaders who help organisations unlock the full value of AI while managing risk.
