This panel tackles the question: Is AI the solution to the burnout epidemic - or just another accelerant? As organisations rush to implement AI tools, this session explores how AI can reduce cognitive overload and optimise work, while also addressing the ethical, human, and data challenges that could exacerbate stress and fatigue if not handled responsibly.

AI is making adversaries better at compromising systems, so it is more important than ever that innovators implement secure innovation practices. Strong cyber security can no longer be viewed as a tomorrow problem for innovators. Cyber defence from adversaries and AI is needed for all your IT systems, and this includes your AI systems. The good news is that there are a range of tools to help you protect yourselves, and AI can be part of your solution.
