Artificial Intelligence (AI) has led to many state-of-the-art, groundbreaking discoveries across the world and has contributed greatly towards the good of society. For example, we’ve seen breakthroughs in Healthcare, which has led to drug development, drug discovery and more accurate medical diagnosis. There’s also been an increase in AI adoption across businesses and users in the past few years, with the likes of ChatGPT now having a user base of 100+ million users within two months. ChatGPT is now considered the fastest growing app of all time. We live in a world with AI at our fingertips, and along its fascinating uses and outcomes comes challenges that are threatening to the safety, privacy, security and equal treatment of people in society.
The Responsible AI Framework
With the steady and rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies and applications, including several statements threatening the existence of humanity, it’s quite crucial to understand the amazing benefits AI provides to society which includes solving global problems. In addition, it’s important to understand the limitations, risks and challenges these technologies have on different members of society. In order to tackle and address the recognized harms in AI applications, a responsible AI framework could be implemented across fairness, transparency and explainability, data ethics, AI principles, privacy, robustness, humans-in-the-loop, ethical considerations and so on. We’re living in an industrial revolution with AI at the forefront and understanding the Responsible aspects and practices of this incredible technology is key to gaining trust, success and growth across organizations, economies and countries.
Embracing AI Technologies in Marketing
As we’re currently experiencing an Industrial revolution which I categorize as the 4th industrial revolution, this time with AI and Generative AI in the forefront of emerging technologies particularly in the language domain, it’s important for marketers to learn about the benefits of AI and how to leverage the technology for further productivity and efficiency.

While year over year AI adoption has seen a massive growth – as with any new and nascent technology, it has limitations and risks that all AI adopters need to be aware of.

Toju Duke Speaker Testimonials
It was great to meet Toju and have her deliver a keynote at our meeting. It was a nice end to the first day of the meeting. We got positive feedback after her session and there were a lot of (even challenging) questions from the audience that she tackled well. I understood there was a lot of interest in follow-up discussions during the networking reception as well as before she had to leave. A member had also expressed interest in her speaking in the future at an event they are involved in. Overall, we can say she was a valuable addition to the agenda…
