Thursday Dec 09, 2021
Thursday Dec 09, 2021
The study of neuroscience and in particular how the brain builds trust has become a focus point for leaders and companies that are looking to engage in a more meaningful way with their staff, society and key stakeholders.
Of course, for businesses, building trust can be a lengthy and detailed process which happens over time, while conversely the loss of trust can happen very quickly with long lasting impacts.
There’s no doubt that over the past couple of years the pandemic has really tested the notion of trust that consumers have in businesses. In this episode we look at organisational trust and neuroscience. Join host Whitney Fitzsimmons as she speaks to TEDx Speaker Dr Sarah McKay, Professor Nicole Gillespie, Chair of KPMG Organisational Trust and Nick Mann, CEO of Swisse Wellness.

On this edition of the program, a look at the landmark decision by an Australian Federal court that ruled Artificial Intelligence or AI systems can legally be recognised as an inventor in patent applications. While this may not sound like a big deal it’s a ground-breaking precedent as it challenges a fundamental assumption in the law that only human beings can be inventors. Join host Whitney Fitzsimmons as she discusses this with Ryan Abbott Author of The Reasonable Robot who is also the Attorney at the centre of this case.
Whitney also analyses the ethical questions associated with AI and the potential unintended consequences with Dr Catriona Wallace, CEO of the Ethical AI Advisory Group. And she looks at the intersection between AI and business with KPMG Futures, Partner in Charge, James Mabbott.
