Katy Goldwater
Global HR and People Leader
Remedica
I am joining the AI Board because we are at a time in our evolution where human-judgement and decision-making needs to step-up and shepherd AI technology developing around us; as a business leader and a parent I can already see the day in which the next generation of the workforce, not just those developing the technology, will be challenged to think more critically than ever, to apply ethics, judgement and human compassion to situations where technology seemingly has the answer to everything. We must equip our children and young professionals to navigate these challenges.
