A crash course in Autonomy

Our April webinar is all about Autonomy. And we’re not just talking about self-drive cars and taxis. This briefing looks much deeper. It reveals how Autonomy is protecting lives in high-risk industries… driving massive productivity gains in operations and logistics… cutting costly bottlenecks in professions such as insurance underwriting. For senior executives with unquenchable curiosity and a mandate to evaluate the latest AI technology, this is a true masterclass.

Our subject experts come from a world where errors cost lives – many lives. One was a frontline officer with the British Army; the other a highly experienced software engineer from the Defence industry.

Perhaps surprisingly, the Defence industry has been a pioneer of Autonomy. It has led the way in adopting and adapting the latest AI thinking to streamline operational efficiency and safeguard lives. Our speakers have first-hand experience in these extreme ‘risk’ conditions. And they now run a niche R&D firm with a new mission: to bring the best of AI-empowered Autonomy to business.

Here are just some of the topics they will cover:

• Knowing the difference. How to understand the critical distinction between automation and autonomy – and why it matters to your bottom line.
• Starting out. How to identify the often ‘dull, dirty, and dangerous’ Autonomy opportunities hiding in plain sight, in your organisation, right now.
• Bridging the trust gap. The big issue is not whether Autonomy works; it’s whether you trust it. Conviction is crucial. Learn how progressive implementation beats big-bang transformation and builds incremental confidence.
• Negotiating the legal landmines. Who is liable when machines make decisions? How do you navigate the grey, opaque areas of law? And how do you establish responsibility when liability changes between Autonomy levels 4 and 5? This webinar provides clear answers.
• Finding the critical human-v-machine balance. Where must humans make decisions and where should machines take over? Where is the critical pivot point? Get it right, and you will unlock scale your headcount could never achieve.
• Learning from real-world case studies. This briefing is laced with revealing case studies. Autonomous battlefield resupply is an eye-opening example. Learn how 80% of the value was delivered by software autonomy, not robots.

Self-drive vehicles may dominate the headlines, but – as you will discover – the real impact of this AI-empowered technology reaches far deeper and wider. Join us for a free, one-hour, ‘crash course’ in Autonomy.
