Deploying AI in Organisations
Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds the potential to revolutionise individual organisations and transform the way organisations across sectors — public, private, non-profit — work (together) to tackle grand societal challenges. Through real-world case studies, Professor Angela Aristidou of UCL School of Management and the Stanford Digital Economy Lab provides empirical evidence of the deployment of AI tools in settings that require cross-sectoral collaboration: health, humanitarian aid, and nonprofits. This research reveals in-context governance mechanisms, as well as business and work models in highly-important areas for our societies.
