What if we told you that everyday fraud adds up to something much bigger and darker? That behind every transaction, there’s a huge societal and human cost?  Financial crime is on the rise. And thanks to the internet, the scale of the problem is staggering.

We spend our days reacting, responding, pivoting. To the latest trends, headlines and/or that urgent email in your inbox. It’s not you – it’s your brain. It’s how we’re wired.  But understanding why we all behave the way we do is incredibly powerful. It allows us to align with the things that matter to us most – from personal change to climate change. So, we thought we’d ask the experts and invited Richard Shotton, author and behavioural scientist and Stuart West, UK net zero lead at Deloitte into The Green Room.

Autocorrect. Chatbots. Social media feeds. E-payments. Facial recognition.     These are just some examples of artificial intelligence we come across daily.     50 years ago, its possibilities seemed like science fiction to us. Now, it’s quickly permeating almost every sphere of our personal and working lives.     Some days, we get excited about its tremendous potential. Because just like the first machines, which helped us scale human labour by mimicking our muscles, AI is scaling our cognitive abilities.     Other days, we can’t help but worry about the risks. We wonder whether it’s fully safe, reliable and trustworthy. We read about racial bias in facial recognition and generative AI threatening jobs – and wonder if we’re doing it right.   AI is here to stay. But where it’s going is up to us. Because as humans come up with new technologies, we evolve with them too.   So let’s talk about the future of AI. What’s the ideal relationship between humans and AI? How do we make sure it’s used for good, amplifying our human intellect? Can we make sure it stays that way? How do we work together to maintain agency?   How can we make sure we’re inclusive in its design – and thoughtful in its application? What can AI teach us about ourselves – is it holding up a mirror to our humanity? Could it help us imagine a better working future for us all?    For our latest episode, we invited Professor Sandra Wachter, who teaches technology and regulation at the Oxford Internet Institute, and Sulabh Soral, our very own Chief AI Officer.  Tune in to find out:         How we all use AI in our daily lives more than we think         Why Sandra believes we need to embrace problems like bias         How Sulabh is seeing AI helping address climate change         Whether they think there’s a happy future for humans and AI…   Enjoyed the episode?

Baby boomers. Generation X. Millennials. Gen Z. And make way for Generation Alpha… Labels can help us understand the world, but they often become unhelpful generalisations – especially at work.
