The second leg of our four-part Resilience Reset series builds on the risk and resilience foundation established in Part One of our series and turns our attention to one of the most significant innovations shaping our risk and resilience forecasting, analysis and decision making today: Artificial Intelligence. 

Artificial intelligence is transforming risk and resilience by improving foresight and insight, accelerating data-driven decisions, increasing crisis response speed, and informing strategic and operational oversight. 

But speed does not automatically create strength.  The very features that make AI powerful - its speed and autonomy – create significant vulnerabilities.

To realise AI’s potential to uplift risk management and resilience, there are technical, organisational and human challenges to meet.

As resilience becomes a defining capability for modern organisations, the integration of AI into risk management and resilience must be deliberate, governed, and strategically aligned.

This session discusses how AI technology can strengthen risk management and resilience, but only when it’s used deliberately, responsibly, and strategically.

In this second webinar, we will cover:

• The evolving role and use cases of AI in risk management and organisational resilience
• Top down vs bottom up AI adoption models
• Key technical, organisational and regulatory challenges 
• AI standards and guidelines worth knowing
• The human/AI interface - what's working and what's not

For risk and resilience leaders navigating rapid technological change, this session identifies the current opportunities, benefits and challenges in utilising and managing AI for success.
