Bayes experts to speak at CogX Festival
Join us at CogX and hear from Bayes experts at the world's biggest festival of inspiration, impact and transformational change
From a masterclass on how to lead in an artificial intelligence (AI)-dominated world to discussions on the future of learning as well as work and life in disrupted times, leading experts from Bayes Business School (formerly Cass) will be speaking at the CogX Festival in London between Tuesday 12th September and Thursday 14th September.
The Bayes events are as follows:
Tuesday, 12th September 2023
14.00-14.45, Founders Stage, Magazine London Building
Masterclass: How to Lead in a World of AI - The Value and Importance of People Skills
Humans are inherently social animals. We crave and need social interaction. As the world starts to embrace remote learning and remote work, as well as new technologies such as AI that restrict real human-to-human connection, how can a young graduate navigate this changing world of work? What further value can a young person bring to their work and will the ambitions of becoming a leader in their field be reduced to a computer? This Masterclass will show students the importance of their crucial role in using people skills to guide new ways of working.
By: Sylvia Malo and Rob Compton from Bayes Business School
16.00-16.25, Industry Transformation Stage, Magazine London Building
Panel: New Frontiers of Work and Life in Turbulent Times
From AI and automation to economic downturns and rising inflation, increasing precarity and global uncertainty are changing the fabric of consumer lifestyles and the labour market. We consult some of the leading industry and academic experts for a research-based discussion to find out: How are consumers responding to these global disruptions? Is the traditional 9-5 work model really fading into history? And what does this mean for companies, the markets, and the world of policy?

Professor Fleura Bardhi, Professor of Marketing at Bayes Business School

AI's transformative impact on learning will be undeniable, yet the question remains: how?
