AI Forum Keynote Speakers

Resist the Hype! AI is not a hammer, and every problem is not a nail.​

Resist the Hype! AI is not a hammer, and every problem is not a nail" serves as a crucial reminder that the application of artificial intelligence should be thoughtful and purpose-driven. It underscores the idea that AI is a versatile tool, not a universal solution, and its adoption should be based on a clear understanding of the problem it aims to address. Rather than blindly embracing AI as a one-size-fits-all solution, this phrase encourages a discerning approach, where the choice to employ AI technology should be guided by a comprehensive assessment of whether it is the most suitable means to solve a particular problem. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balance between the enthusiasm for AI's potential and the responsibility to use it judiciously and effectively.​
