DAX INSIGHTS: How to Win Consumer Trust in AI with Bob Hedges

What does it take to earn and sustain consumer trust in the age of AI?

Trust has become potentially the most important competitive business differentiator in the age of artificial intelligence. While business and technology platforms routinely invoke the need for consumer trust, their actions to build it remain indecisive and tentative.

Join Columbia’s Data Science Institute at the next DAX INSIGHTS Series, a monthly forum that convenes leading voices from across a broad spectrum of industries to explore the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of AI. At our October 28 event, former Visa Chief Data Officer and MIT Digital Fellow Bob Hedges will explore the requirements for consumer trust in AI, including where new innovations are needed to meet evolving consumer expectations. As public debate around AI intensifies, understanding how to establish lasting consumer trust will become an increasing imperative.

In his talk, Hedges will share the essential ingredients to get that strategy right. His remarks will be followed by a live interview with Kara Miller, host of It Turns Out podcast; and columnist at The Boston Globe. Additionally, their conversation will feature virtual remarks from faculty speaker Oded Netzer, Vice Dean of Research and Arthur J. Samberg Professor of Business at Columbia Business School, on leveraging data to better understand customer behavior and inform business decision-making.
