What it is about
AI models are getting better, but they remain models. At some point they get it wrong, and then people are needed who decide. Andy Fitze co-founded SwissCognitive in 2016 and advises boards of directors and executive teams on AI strategy. As a skipper he knows what it is like when the forecast is wrong and a decision still has to be made.
The AI keynote is about how far AI can be trusted and where responsibility remains with people.
Learned on board
«Sailing works without electrics too.»
