In addition to her roles as founder and CEO of fintech start-up Flamingo AI and as adjunct professor at the Australian Graduate School of Management, Dr Catriona Wallace is a campaigner for ethics in the artificial intelligence sector. She also helmed the second ever woman-led company to list on the ASX-listed company. Many people have concerns about our growing reliance on artificial intelligence. How do you feel about it? Artificial intelligence (AI) is the fastest-growing technology sector in the world, likely to replace 40 per cent of jobs in the next five years, especially in industries such as tourism, media, telecommunications and banking.

Artificial intelligence (AI) expert and Flamingo Ai Founder and Executive Director Dr Catriona Wallace is set to share her insights on what we can look forward to in a world with more advanced AI, at this year's CEBIT expo. The keynote, titled'AI: Human Machine: Who gets the upper hand?' will explore developments in AI, how it's being used and how it will transform the business world and life as we know it. "AI, described as the most powerful force equal in impact to the discovery of fire and the invention of electricity, will increasingly become the primary power driving the massive changes that [climate change and disruptive technologies] will bring," Wallace said. "With AI set to replace 40% of jobs and 30% of business interactions in the next five years, and the time of'singularity', where machines may become'smarter' than humans possibly just 20 years away, the onus will be on people to successfully navigate the Fourth Industrial Revolution." NSW Minister for Jobs and Investment Stuart Ayres said CEBIT Australia will provide an international forum for technology companies to do business and discuss the future, including the impact of AI and how it can be harnessed to secure new jobs.
