Opening Keynote Speaker – Do Data Have a Soul? The Ethics of AI Beyond Algorithmic Logic
Artificial intelligence amplifies the potential of data, but without solid foundations in adoption, governance, skills, and security, it risks multiplying process inefficiencies, biases, vulnerabilities, and cultural resistance.
In this session, we will explore how to integrate ethics with multi-level governance models, continuous training, and security by design—transforming “data with a soul” into a unique competitive advantage.
