Navigating Through Regulatory Process for AI Innovators in Health and Care

3:35 PM-4:15 PM

Going through the regulatory process for an AI device can be quite daunting for anyone trying to innovate in health and care - from data access to post market surveillance. There are different legislations and pieces of guidance to take into account, which can create a complex picture for innovators to navigate. However, the NHS AI Lab is keen to change this through the creation of a multi-agency-advisory-service (MAAS). This session will highlight some of the common issues faced by innovators, how to avoid making those common mistakes and how MAAS will eventually help to make this journey smoother.

Day Two: June 16

AI Recommendation Systems – Giving Customers More of What They Love

10:05 AM-10:30 AM

It’s all about giving customers more of what they love. AI-driven recommendation systems can predict the user’s product preferences based on their data, and thus significantly boost Click-through-rates (CTR), revenue, conversion rate, and generate higher ROI. What are the AI recommender systems available? How do we tailor them to meet business needs?

Improving Affiliated Marketing Program and Optimizing Advertising Spend with AI and ML

11:25 AM-11:50 AM

From identifying the right channels to market products to identifying the perfect set of influencers, what are the different ways AI can be used to improve affiliated marketing programs? How can AI help to optimize marketing budget and drive higher return from digital advertising?

Automating Risk Management with RPA & AI

1:30 PM-1:55 PM

Speaker: Eric Tyree, senior vice president of AI & innovation and head of AI labs, Blue Prism

What Role Does Diversity and Inclusion Play in AI?

2:50 AM-3:20 PM

Bias in AI development has been a growing concern as its use increases across the world. The lack of women and people of color, for example, in research and engineering can lead to products with built-in gender and racial biases. While a 100% elimination of bias in AI seems impossible, tech leaders are navigating the ethical implications of AI and adopting ways to balance AI model fairness. What are the fundamental causes of AI bias? What role do diversity and inclusion play in AI?

Speakers: Melvin Lopez-Corleone, senior RegTech specialist, external engagement lead, Bank of England; Angelica Stephenson, senior technical product manager, apps and partner content, Sky; Simone Pang, data scientist, diversity & inclusion, HSBC and Tania Duarte, co-founder, We and AI
