Transformational Technology 2023

As strategic decision-makers navigate complex business environments, the need for efficient, data-driven solutions becomes paramount. We propose that the answer lies in Human-Intelligence Augmentation (HIA) Teams — the innovative fusion of human expertise and advanced intelligence augmentation.

This presentation explores the transformative power of HIA Teams. We’ll illuminate how these teams, composed of strategic decision-makers augmented with IA tools, can streamline decision-making. In this blend, the human component leverages its skills in judgment and strategy, while IA offers its strengths in data processing and predictive analysis, creating a formidable strategic unit.

Dr. William Barry and his virtual assistant TIM will present qualitative research findings and case studies on how businesses from diverse sectors have successfully integrated HIA Teams and leveraged their unique capacities to make faster, more informed decisions.

They will also delve into potential risks tied to HIA Teams, such as data security, bias and misinformation, and technological mishaps and offer specific, actionable strategies for risk mitigation tailored to CIOs and other key decision-makers, ensuring a smooth transition towards the adoption of HIA Teams.

Attend this presentation to learn:

• Detailed insights into the functioning and transformative potential of HIA Teams
• Practical, targeted risk mitigation strategies to handle challenges linked with Intelligence Augmentation.
• An overview of qualitative research findings supplemented with concrete case studies showcasing HIA Teams’ effectiveness across business sectors
• Real-world applications of HIA Teams, providing a tangible perspective on their adaptability across industries.
