We live in a world where computer technology is everywhere, impacting almost every aspect of our lives and this year it seems we can’t escape the latest (r)evolution: “Artificial Intelligence”. But what does it mean, where is this technology taking us and who cares about how we get there?
We are delighted to have a return visit from Rashik Parmar, in his role now as Chief Executive Officer of the the world’s leading IT professional body, the British Computer Society (BCS), to have an open discussion on some of these most talked about topics of today and their implications.
Rashik will provide a level-set introduction to Artificial Intelligence, how it is impacting the ever evolving world of technology and how the BCS is at the forefront of considering the ethical implications of this.
We will then open up the discussion with a question and answer session where you can raise your concerns, give your views or seek more information from this top industry expert. You will be invited to submit questions in advance as well as during the evening.
Rashik is Group Chief Executive of the BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT. His team are focused on the value of professional membership, promoting digital skills and computing education, and building BCS’ reputation for insight on emerging technology like Generative AI and Quantum Computing.
As a former VP Technology for IBM, Rashik helped drive its European technical strategy with a focus on guiding companies through digital transformation.
A Fellow of both IBM and BCS, Rashik was awarded the MBE for services to business and innovation. His portfolio includes many academic articles, notably two featured in the Harvard Business Review: “New Patterns for Innovation” in 2014 and “What is Responsible Computing” in 2023.
