From Surgery to the Skies – Breaking Cross-Market AI Silos

Join industry experts as we explore how different sectors are deploying AI - at the edge, in the cloud, and in hybrid systems - and what they can learn from each other. This event will tackle the technical, regulatory, and ethical challenges of AI adoption, from medical devices to aviation, and offer cross-industry insights into safe, effective, and impactful implementation.

Markets around the world are exploiting and realistically deploying AI of all flavours (edge, cloud & hybrid) for the benefit of their customers. But what lessons can different industries learn from each other on the most effective and safe way to leverage AI? This event will explore that question and answer:

  • How do regulated markets spanning medical devices to aviation address security considerations when deploying AI at the edge, the cloud and everything in between?
  • How do innovators balance size, weight, power and cost whilst deploying AI in impactful applications spanning surgical tools to robots that remove humans from risky environments?
  • What are the ethical and legal boundaries for delegating decision making to AI? Can regulatory best practice be transferred from a medical environment to a device flying an aircraft?

Join market experts to hear their insights and participate in discussions that dive deeper into these questions and provide a pragmatic outlook to these problems.
