nasscom is set to host its 2024 edition of Technology & Leadership Forum (NTLF) under the banner “Shaping the Techade” on February 20th and 21st at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai. With the growing impetus on artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications across businesses, and societies globally, this year, the forum aims to explore the future landscape of technology with a spotlight on the hyper-democratisation of AI, bringing together global thought leaders from diverse sectors to engage in pivotal discussions about the trajectory of technological advancement and its implications.
As leaders worldwide discuss the importance of measuring ROI on data, compute, and talent, alongside balancing innovation with environmental and ethical considerations, NTLF 2024 will delve into how AI is revolutionizing industries, emphasizing the need for businesses to adapt to significant changes and adopt AI across various sectors swiftly. The forum will address the growing interaction between humans and machines, emphasizing the need for organizations to nurture qualities that define exceptional human leadership. Discussions will focus on how AI can be used as a tool to enhance, rather than control, human capabilities, addressing the ethical challenges and leadership roles in ethical AI practices and at the same time aim to reevaluate the skills needed in the GenAI era and strategies for building a resilient, future-ready workforce.
